Historically, peaceful demonstrations and public #advocacy have been instrumental in advancing #HumanRights, #PublicHealth, and #EnvironmentalProtection worldwide. Suppressing such activism not only undermines democratic freedoms but also places #Alberta at odds with the global movement toward #climate responsibility. This is doubly our responsibility while we are on journey of #reconciliation with #FirstNations, #Inuit, and #Métis peoples.
Investments in #RenewableEnergy, sustainable...

Someone in one of my groups asked what the best maple syrup made in Canada was.
The poor OP.
Being French-Canadian Metis, I waxed poetic ...you see, syrup is our holy wine.
Maple syrup is our all-purpose condiment, and ideally should come from Quebec and in a can.Commercial "table syrup" is not "real syrup". (and we're right.)
Tap our veins, and sap will run out.

In other news, I've confirmed DNA connections to my ancestors from the #WhiteCraneClan of the #Ojibwe / #Anishinaabe people. I'll be applying for #Metis membership because it does mean something to me. And I want to support the local Metis #PowWows and members of other tribes who have accepted me even before I confirmed my heritage.
"Whenever we try to envision a world without war, without #violence, without #prisons, without #capitalism, we are engaging in #speculativefiction” and upending whitestreaming and the grand #colonial narrative. This multi-genre hybrid of academic study and traditional #storytelling is a feast for the imagination.
Métis human rights advocate Muriel Stanley Venne dies at 87

In other news, I've managed to confirm my connection to the White Crane Clan of the #Ojibwe / #Anishinaabe both genealogically and through DNA, and I might also be connected with the Bear Clan. I'll be sending my genealogical materials to #Métis of #Maine soon. I hope to become a member before 2025 #PowWow season begins.
