The bill enacts the Trans Day of Remembrance and requires the legislature to hold a minute of silence.

Ontario is now the first jurisdiction in the world to enshrine Trans Day of Remembrance into law.

No, this had nothing to do with Justin Trudeau.

This bill was put forward by Ontario NDP MPP Cheri Dinova (who has long been an advocate for LGBTQ rights), in the Ontario Legislature, not the House of Commons.

Martin Lukacs: Data shows companies made much higher payments to developing countries in 2016 than to Canadian, provincial governments

Canada taxes its oil and gas companies at a fraction of the rate they are taxed abroad, including by countries ranked among the world’s most corrupt, according to an analysis of public data by the Guardian.

The low rate that oil companies pay in Canada represents billions of dollars in potential revenue lost, which an industry expert who looked at the data says is a worrying sign that the country may be “a kind of tax haven for our own companies.”

The countries where oil companies paid higher rates of taxes, royalties and fees per barrel in 2016 include Nigeria, Indonesia, Ivory Coast and the UK.

Thunderbird Strike is the latest from Indigenous developer Elizabeth LaPensée.

In Thunderbird Strike, a new side-scrolling game that launches at the ImagineNATIVEfestival this week in Toronto, players can control a thunderbird—a symbol in several Indigenous cultures—that destroys as much of the oil industry’s machinery and pipelines as it possibly can. And it’s so satisfying.

The game was created by Elizabeth LaPensée, an Anishinaabe, Métis, and Irish games developer, and assistant professor of media and information at Michigan State University. She told me in an interview that she wanted to create a game where Indigenous players could reclaim some agency around oil pipelines, even if through a video game.

“Especially when we’re talking in the context of pipelines, and the oil industry, there are some wins we can have. But ultimately protectors will be pushed out and the processes are going to move forward. It’s happening with mining and it’s happening with pipelines,” LaPensée told me over the phone.

dispelling myths about the seal hunt

1) they DON’T hunt whitecoats. it’s only adult seals

2) the process is as quick and painless as possible. there’s a special technique in clubbing for an instantaneous death. hunters are very well trained and don’t hunt with the intention of harming the animal any more than it needs to be

3) not only is it government regulated but hunters only reach maybe 15 percent of their annual quota

4) seals consume an obscene amount of fish. to the point where it’s actually detrimental to the environment to have the population of seals get too high

5) seal meat is incredibly nutritious and an important resource for communities up north

6) these animals live in the wild their full lives until the need to be hunted

7) the cost of typical southern food up north is often 10 times as high and it’s very expensive to live off a diet without using the lands provided resources

seal meal is a very nutritious important resource that’s ethically sourced and important for indigenous people not only culturally but for survival through economic means and resources. equating indigenous practices to the mass consumption that the colonist meat industry enforced is a false equivalence. specifically targeting communities limited recourses and attacking indigenous people is an act of racism. try decolonizing your perception of how the world operates. we aren’t like you.

It’s so nasty that one of the greatest loss of seals is from commercial farming, by way of by fishing. (Sea creatures getting caught while they’re fishing for other sea creatures) and yet, indigenous populations who are deliberately being starved out by the colonizer government where they live are who are condemned for sealing? For survival hunting, where the animal’s suffering is as minimal as possible? While living where the most basic groceries are priced as luxury goods?

It’s an age old trick. Keep people blaming the oppressed group, keep people stomping on those below them, so they don’t look up at those who are stomping on them.
