We deserve better. People across Canada will bear the environmental and economic risks of a new oil pipeline — while wealthy, largely U.S.-owned companies reap the profits. PM @mark-carney.bsky.social , this is not what Canadians voted for.

New year, new record? A new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives shows that the CEO-to-worker pay gap has reached a record-breaking level. So while the rest of Canada is suffering, wondering whether they can afford rent and groceries, corporate greed is running rampant.💰

Non-Indigenous people who live in so-called Canada benefit from this colonial system—and we have a responsibility every day, to stand in solidarity and dismantle the genocidal legacy of this country. We must amplify the calls to action that Indigenous communities have put out.
Actions you can take now:

- Donate one day’s pay—or as much as you can manage—to Indigenous-led groups, organizations, and frontline communities.
- Learn about the impacts of the Indian Residential School system, and read the 94 calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
- Demand that the federal government implement all calls to action from the TRC and the MMIWG2S enquiry immediately.
- Call and email elected officials to demand an end to fossil fuel expansion and to respect Free, Prior, and Informed Consent.
- Actively amplify and learn from the voices of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. Do not ask them to educate you.
- Join Indigenous-led events near you today.
- Wear an orange shirt as a symbol of your support for reconciliation and as a reminder that every child matters.
