My time has flown. Seems like it was Canada day just last year. ha! ha! Next year will be 150. My how it's changed through this time. For the worse and for the bettter...a constant changing paradigm
Seriously though, this is a day that has so many intricacies all wrapped around it, I don't know quite where to begin.
I have a learned a lot in the last year about so much...my Indigenous heritage, Politics, Social Justice, Climate Change...and not just what they are about but was drawn into communities so passionate and hurting so bad, trying to make real change.
There have been dark times for sure. I think that now there's going to be light. It's coming, I can feel it, I can't explain it.
Some very interesting and exciting developments have occurred recently. We had the 3 Amigos Summit here and they made some strong claims on Climate Change, Women Rights and Diversity that I sincerely hope for humanities sake they follow through on.
Do you know there's a Canada in Mexico. There is. This is it!! Mexico needs our help right now. Good courageous indigenous and non-indigenous uniting against social injustice. Just as we have here but there it is much more dangerous and 9 people were killed in Oaxaca last month and many people have gone missing. Just as here...our Missing and Murdered Women. Women through out the world must have human rights and social justice.
Can we unite and reach out in what every way you can and help the good people of Oaxaca. There have been many blockades, IF you can get gas the prices are skyrocketing and you can only pay cash. I've heard the food, water everything is getting very expensive, people are starting to hurt and it should not be this way.
"For residents of remote regions of Oaxaca, where state-run Diconsa
stores have been running low on supplies, relief came today in the form
of the first airlift: a Mexican Air Force Hercules C130 aircraft carried
18 tonnes from Puebla to the Oaxaca tourist destination of Huatulco for
distribution to rural areas. Two flights per day until Saturday will deliver a total of 108 tonnes of food supplies.
Land transport is being employed between Guerrero and Oaxaca to
transport another 600 tonnes, a supply that is expected to keep Diconsa
stores stocked for two weeks.)

The 3 Amigos Summit
Today, our 3 countries team up to build a cleaner future for people across the continent. Read more: #NALS2016https://t.co/v2GCwtidJY
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President Barack Obama, and President
Enrique Peña Nieto share a common commitment to a competitive,
low-carbon and sustainable North American economy and society.
The Paris
Agreement was a turning point for our planet, representing
unprecedented accord on the urgent need to take action to combat climate
change through innovation and deployment of low-carbon solutions.
North
America has the capacity, resources and the moral imperative to show
strong leadership building on the Paris Agreement and promoting its
early entry into force. We recognize that our highly integrated
economies and energy systems afford a tremendous opportunity to harness
growth in our continuing transition to a clean energy economy.
Our
actions to align climate and energy policies will protect human health
and help level the playing field for our businesses, households, and
workers.
In recognition of our close ties and shared vision, we commit
today to an ambitious and enduring North American Climate, Clean Energy,
and Environment Partnership that sets us firmly on the path to a more
sustainable future.
Beautiful Oaxaca, this is the place we must protect.
First Nations chief finds common ground with Mexican politician at Three Amigos summit
Issues that affect Indigenous people similar in both Canada and Mexico, says North Wilson
"North Wilson said it is clear the issues that impact Indigenous
people in Canada are similar to those that affect Indigenous people in
Mexico. "
"The issue of violence against Indigenous women was discussed
between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, U.S. President Barack Obama and
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.
The leaders agreed the three countries must respond to the
"alarmingly high levels of violence" Indigenous women and girls suffer,
and a continental working group on the topic will meet in Washington
later this fall."
'There is a willingness now to see that Indigenous people are important in this country.'
- Sheila North Wilson, MKO grand chief
North Wilson believes the discussions at the Three Amigos
summit will improve conditions for Indigenous people from the three
countries.
Today's Victory with the Federal court rules against Northern Gateway because they did not consult First Nations is glorious!! See below but with that I would like to mention a few things.
1) Where we were 2 years ago
2) Where we are now
3) Where will we be 2 years from now.
Look what we did. So happy but imagine what we CAN do!
I was so happy I danced around the house yesterday and blew raspberries at all who told me to "just forget about it, it's a done deal."
But it's not a done deal. As long as I live and breath I will do what I can in my way to protect the planet, the people, my child. PLEASE WILL YOU DO THAT TOO!!
#ClimateWelcome - JUSTIN -they have some gifts for you!
"We just made history. Together, we have shown what it takes to win: a determined, principled, unrelenting grassroots movement that takes to the streets whenever necessary, and isn't afraid to put our bodies on the line.
Powered by our organizing, the tide is turning against the fossil fuel industry. Today we can approach all of our work with new eyes. We know that we can fight, and we can win. We share this video with joy and immense gratitude."

women. "
This December, 50,000 world leaders from over 190 nations will meet in
Paris for the COP21 Paris Climate Conference to (hopefully) pass
resolutions to combat climate change. The stakes couldn't be higher, but
the outcome remains unclear. Send a message from #EarthToParis - tell
the world's leaders to make bold commitments to combat climate change.

hope for the future.
This is really great news.

BREAKING VICTORY: President Obama has rejected the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline!!!
This is a historic victory that sets the standard for climate action by
keeping millions of tons of carbon underground. And it's a victory for
the people: the President's courage today is a reflection of the courage
of thousands of people who stood up to fight this project.
We
want to thank everyone who fought to make this victory happen. Add your
name to the Keystone XL Movement Thank You Card to help celebrate making
history: http://350.org/thankyou
"The Obama administration rejected TransCanada's application to build
the Keystone XL pipeline on Friday, three individuals familiar with the
decision said, capping a seven-year saga that became an environmental
flashpoint in both Canada and the U.S.
President Barack Obama was to announce the decision at the White House
after meeting with Secretary of State John Kerry. The individuals
confirming Obama's decision weren't authorized to comment publicly and
spoke on condition of anonymity.
Killing the pipeline allows Obama to claim aggressive action on the
environment, potentially strengthening his hand as world leaders prepare
to finalize major global climate pact within weeks that Obama hopes
will be a crowning jewel for his legacy. Yet it also puts the president
in a direct confrontation with Republicans and energy advocates that
will almost surely spill over into the 2016 presidential election. Read more here
