Please follow the link to add your support to this important petition. Nunavut is fighting to save it's language and this is a hugely important part of the battle.
Since it’s historic launch in January 2021, Uvagut TV has been providing Inuit with television programming in our own language and all Canadians with a priceless view of our resilient culture, heritage, humour and ways of seeing the world. And we need your help to continue.

#intimidationconvoy. I was in Ottawa. Anyone wearing a mask on the street, let alone evidence of support for LGBTQ+ became a target of the #intimdationconvoy was dominated by a heavy presence of bully-haters.
Jaw-dropping story from Centertown city councilor (and current mayoral candidate) Catherine McKenney just now. "I had to help one couple leave the downtown with a police escort in the first weekend," they said. "There was a pride flag in their window."
ok. Silly animal tweet. I never do these. But it made me laugh this morning.

Retweeting this for all those CPC people modelling US Trumpism and yelling obscenities on Twitter that Trudeau is to blame for Canada's financial woes...

A true act of reconciliation would be Vatican establishing Healing Funds for Inuit/Métis/FN Residential School Survivors and Intergenerationally Impacted Funds that would go on in perpetuity for generations “Individual Christians” are not the only blame/responsible #Pope #Trauma

34 years ago, Thatcher's government enacted Section 28. Like Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill, Section 28 banned councils (and schools, in practice) from engaging in the 'promotion of homosexuality'. Acceptance of LGBT+ people kept rising steadily despite the law.
