Wow, I am speechless.
Indigenous programs are always at risk-last to be funded & first to go. Sadly, this centre was an opportunity for reconciliatory understandings & practices! @Laurier cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener

BREAKING: After 2 years of heartbreak and relentless advocacy, Morgan Beatrice Harris is finally coming home. 💔 As a journalist who’s covered this story from the start, I’m typing through tears. Authorities have confirmed what Morgan’s daughters fought so desperately for – their mother has been found at Prairie Green landfill. I’ve watched Cambria and Elle Harris stand before microphones, petition officials, and organize searches when nobody would listen. On February 26th, what seemed impossible happened – Morgan was found. Morgan, from Long Plain First Nation, was murdered by a White Supremacist serial killer in 2022. When authorities refused to search the landfill citing “feasibility issues,” her daughters refused to accept it, rallying a movement that forced Canada to acknowledge their mother’s life mattered. I’ve stood in the cold interviewing these brave young women, witnessing elders sing while the family held photos of Morgan. I’ve seen their outrage when officials called a search “too difficult” and their persistence that moved mountains – and literal tons of garbage – to bring her home. Today brings both grief and gratitude. Grief for Morgan and her family’s unbearable journey. Gratitude that their love proved stronger than systemic indifference. Morgan’s remains are one of two sets recovered. The second may belong to Marcedes Myran, another victim from Long Plain First Nation. To Morgan’s family: Thank you for teaching us what true love looks like. Thank you for showing Canada that every Indigenous woman deserves to be searched for and found. The work continues. But tonight, Morgan Beatrice Harris is coming home. #MMIWG #JusticeForMorgan #BringThemHome

Premier Doug Ford might want to take some direction from BC and the Haida Nation on what respectful relationships look like. When Canada gets bullied by Trump, don’t turn around and bully First Nations by threatening to move in and take critical minerals. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/

Today, the Prairie Green Landfill search, according to experts on-site, has identified potential human remains in the search material. The families of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran have been notified and attended the site.

I can. In fact, the Canadian version is so great, I can't think of an American equivalent. đŸ§”
Can you think of a Canadian product that’s better than an American one? Honestly curious.

The Greater Sudbury Police Service have completed their search of campus and have cleared the situation. No risk to the health and safety of Laurentian community members was found. As a result, the shelter in place order has now been lifted. As always, those on campus are encouraged to remain vigilant and call 911 if they observe anything unusual. We understand that this situation may have been disturbing for those on campus. In order to prioritize the mental health of Laurentian students, staff and faculty, all lectures and labs, including those offered online, are cancelled for the day. All tests and assignments due today are postponed. The campus will remain open for essential activities only. Faculty and non-essential staff are encouraged to take the rest of the day away from campus. Supervisors will be in contact with essential staff. At this time, it is important we remind our community members that the Counselling Services team is available to all students and the Employee & Family Assistance Program is available to staff and faculty.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
