He said Canada’s sovereignty in the North could be in jeopardy if more is not done to understand what is happening there, the impacts of climate change and how to develop sustainable solutions for development and the health and well-being of Inuit communities.

Just one day after the federal government saved an Arctic climate change research program from the brink of death, another is knocking on the door looking for salvation.

Louis Fortier, a University of Laval biologist, is the head of ArcticNet, a consortium of Canadian Arctic climate science researchers, Inuit, and all levels of government which study the effects of climate change in the Arctic.

As of next March 31, the 15-year-old program will die unless Ottawa bails it out.

ArcticNet’s annual budget is $9.6 million. Fortier said there is a competition he can apply to through the Network Centres of Excellence program, which the government is continuing, but that process won’t come through with funding until at least 2019 and there is only $9 million a year available for all networks, which is less than what ArcticNet alone needs, he said.

when I was 5 I asked my mom for grapefruit juice because it was pink and I loved the color pink. my mom tried to warn me but I persisted so she really did buy it. when we got home and I tried it for the first time it was awful. how could something pink be so bad? that was the highest level of betrayal I have ever experienced and I don’t remember what the point of this post was or why I remembered this in the first place but anyway I do not like grapefruits

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live

5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.

6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death

Most important paragraph:

“As you will remember, your government welcomed the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal’s decision of January, 2016, which found that federal underfunding of First Nations child welfare and failure to ensure equitable access to public services constituted a clear breach of the Canadian Human Rights Act. The government saw the tribunal’s decision as a vital first step in achieving substantive equality for First Nations children. Unfortunately, the tribunal has since issued several non-compliance orders against your government. Three of these orders came after the tribunal considered the additional investments made for child and family services in Budget 2016. In June, your government elected to seek judicial review of one such order by the tribunal, a choice which we cannot understand or support. Your government has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on litigation to resist full implementation of the tribunal’s decisions – a move that is incompatible with your pledged support for a new partnership with First Nations, and all Indigenous people in Canada and their governments.”
