RCMP St. Roch: Arctic Pioneer

The RCMP schooner RCMPV St. Roch is a Royal Canadian Mounted Police schooner, the first ship to completely circumnavigate North America, and the second vessel to transit the Northwest Passage. She was also first to complete the Northwest Passage in the west to east direction. ❄️ She’s preserved at the Vancouver Maritime Museum. 🇨🇦 #Canada #StRoch #ArcticExploration #RCMP

Continued thread

I am frankly tiring of (e)mailing and calling #Albertan MLA's . Not saying I'm stopping, but they're getting to know me.

Otoh,

#Alberta , the #RCMP often open investigations on a 'complainant' basis.

Really, unless I am mistaken anybody in #Canada could lodge a complaint on that score, should they feel so compelled

Canada and the RCMP did/do awful things to Inuit. One of these things was the widespread slaughter of dogs. Inuit relied upon these dogs for food, transportation, and protection.

An elder I know remembers the slaughter. Her father was out on the tundra with his dog team when RCMP came to her community and killed every dog.

He stayed out on the tundra alone with his dogs for months. He had to keep the dogs hidden from the cops or those dogs would've been killed too. He and his dog team kept that community fed all that time. Without his hunting, they would have starved. rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/173230 #Inuit #Canada #RCMP #DogSlaughter #SledDog #TruthAndReconciliation #genocide #colonialism

www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.caGovernment of Canada's apology for the Nunavik Dog SlaughterOn November 23, 2024, the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations apologized to Nunavik Inuit for effects of federal policies that resulted in the Nunavik Dog Slaughter from 1950 to the early 1960s.

The RCMP are violating the treaty between Canada and the Mi'kmaw people in Nova Scotia by literally stealing people's home. Some of the tribe's people live in tiny houses, some built on trucks or trailers. These are essentially like a RV, and the RCMP is coming in and hauling them away along with the household goods inside them. The Mimac Rights Association is fighting back and you can sign their petition.

#DougFord adores the buzz of campaigning & he's a pro at it. He has truckloads of Conservative cash & endless taxpayer-paid ads to promote his dog and pony show. Unfortunately he's not interested in good governance.
Especially so, after #ontario voters deliver him another majority. It'll be Doug's way or the highway.
Who knows what he has planned.
His mandates will remain secret.
