Today on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate the cultures and languages of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples. Take time to learn whose land you’re on and listen to Indigenous voices - not just today, but every day.

Today Canada became weaker. Bill C-5 gives unchecked powers in a few officials, overrides laws of Parliament, & steamrolls constitutional rights. Our economy won’t grow by creating conditions of uncertainty & conflict… Our sovereignty is not protected by being anti-democratic.

May 5 is Red Dress Day, a time to honour missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people. Inspired by Jaime Black’s REDress Project, it urges us to reflect and act. Though under 5% of Canada’s population, they account for 24% of female homicide victims.

In a place where we have to battle for the rights of Indigenous peoples, MPs let the truth be heard and unanimously passed a motion recognizing what happened at residential schools as a genocide. This is historic. To survivors and descendants, I honour you today and every day.
