These bills & cuts are to create job dependency in resource extraction while hoping to gut rural community capacity to respond. This shits interconnected, strategic and actively seeking to deepen colonial violence. Look at Bill C‑200 for an example. He's legit looking to make his own version of ICE.

Cops in Atlantic Canada have already murdered two Indigenous men this year, within 5 days of each other. Darrell Augustine, Sipekne’katik First Nation and Bronson Paul, from Neqotkuk First Nation. The RCMP is a violent colonial institution built on the murder of Indigenous people.

Please do whatever you can to help care for neighbors on the street. Here is my care package list ( I am also now adding fentanyl test strips because of the toxic drug supply and the closure of SCS).
On house neighbors care packages: cash, soft cereal bars, cigarettes, ensure and Ensure diabetic, chocolate for low blood sugar, hot and mittens, hand warmers, lighters, disposable toothbrushes, socks and shoelaces, gift cards to 24-Hour places, Transit tokens and cards, Vaseline and lotion, face masks and hand sanitizer, comb, menstrual pads, dry bag, laundry sheets or pods, waterproof jacket, backpack, warm boots, winterize sleeping bag, winterize tent, charged power bank, baby wipes and kleenex, reusable water bottle, thermal travel mode, hoodies and warm layers, polysporin and painkillers, small first aid kit, playing cards, thermal underwear. Big Ticket items can be bought by collaborating with other community members, smaller items Maybe easier to secure for free or as an in-kind donation. Pack items in a clear bag if you don't know the folks that you're handing out things two for their safety because on House people are the target of so much violence. I carry a full kit in the car and bring a small one with me when I'm walking on foot. Please carry nor can or naloxone so that we can prevent people from overdosing.  Made by @rania.writes

Renee Nicole Good’s killing by an ICE agent underscores how policing, borders and cages are “death‑making institutions,” and her legacy calls on people who see themselves in her to deepen solidarity with all communities targeted by state violence.

Our thoughts are with the family and community of the man killed by RCMP in Sipekne’katik First Nation yesterday, January 13th 2026. With rage and solidarity we continue to call for divestment from policing and investments in safer, evidence based alternatives.

Over the last two decades, police departments across the country have become more militarized, and no group has experienced an increase in police violence like women – particularly Black and brown women. Is this how the U.S. "protects" women?

It's never about protesting "peacefully" or "complying" with cops. It's always about a monopoly on violence.

Horrifying. Its essential now and always to tap into community - join mutual aid projects that understand that we are the ones who keep each other safe. find a group organizing against police budget increases in your area. redistribute your wealth if you have it. talk to your neighbours. acab.

“Peaceful” resistance is a lie. Even the title of it is a misnomer. It is not peaceful to protest passively while armed thugs hog tie you & suspend your rights in detention, depriving you of food and water until you are processed. Take this pattern and apply it to anything. Passive =\= peaceful.

Council’s strong emphasis on keeping taxes low this year has left many of the community programs unsure if they’ll get their requested funding. The potential choice to cut funding to life affirming community programs in favour of the $603,000 tank will display council’s priorities very clearly 11/11

On the flip side, 14 additional RCMP positions ($1,018,700) were given the green light.👎 (see image for voting results) That leaves just one policing budget request left on the BAL—the whopping $603,000 Armoured “Rescue” Vehicle. This will be voted on tomorrow, Friday March 21st. 7/11
Sam Austin, Shawn Cleary, Laura White and Virginia Hinch voted against the RCMP budget and all other councillors and the mayor voted in favour

Programs like these have been proven to divert calls away from police. When crisis navigators receive calls—whether from potential clients or other intake providers (e.g. 911)—they assess the situation and, if it meets established criteria, the crisis team is dispatched. justmentalhealth.ca 4/11
