Canada's mass incarceration of Indigenous people is worsening and an insidious driver is the stickiness of Canada's carceral system - when people should get a shot at freedom, but often don't. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we acknowledge and reflect on the deep intergenerational harm residential schools have caused to Indigenous families and communities. Art by Elaine Landry #OrangeShirtDay #EveryChildMatters #TruthAndReconciliation
A handprint on an orange background. The handprint is broken into segments, inside of which are different symbols representing elements of Indigenous culture, including animal paw prints, landscapes with trees, and other images drawn from nature. There is a large black eagle feather on the left side of the handprint, and bird silhouettes appear in the upper left hand corner of the image. The words EVERY CHILD MATTERS appear at the bottom of the piece.

University management opened up campus food services to corporate interests with promises of better, cheaper food. But you know what? Private equity and holding companies took over. They pay workers as little as possible and they're milking our students for every effing penny. This has to stop.

University managers will, of course say, "But we can't afford cheap meals! We have monopoly contracts with MegaFoodCorp!" Have you noticed something? MegaFoodCorp is bleeding revenue! Students are using food delivery services or simply staying off campus. The status quo is not sustainable.
