A/N: I totally wrote this while high off 10 Red Bulls wheeeeeee!!!!!

remember when there’d be interactions with the author and the characters?

InuYasha: I don’t get why I have to be here for this

RIP comedian, actor, writer and social critic Paul Mooney  

    “I have nothing to do with racism in America;         

                   it was here when I got here”

“ Mooney (79)  died Wednesday in Oakland at about 5:30 a.m. local time after suffering a heart attack, his publicist confirmed to the Daily News. “ (X)

Indigenous people in Attawapiskat cannot drink their water or bathe themselves, and haven’t been able to for weeks. They called a state of emergency.

What is Justin Trudeau’s response?

1 litre per day of water for kids under 2 years old. 1.5 litres per elder. The Tribal council must pay for this water in advance before they can be reimbursed next month.

This is shameful.

2. If you are Canadian, there is a Federal Election in October. Vote for NDP. They’re the only party who has given a damn about what is going on in Attawapiskat. As far as I can tell the NDP is the only party to even visit Attawapiskat this month. Volunteer and donate too.

3. If you are Canadian, write to the PM, Minister of Indigenous Affairs and your member of Parliament and demand that they help this community. Find your MP here:

He

-supports a progressive tax system

-supports eliminating several tax deductions available to the highest-income earners and redirect the money to low-income seniors, workers and disabled Canadians

-supports a $15/hour minimum wage

-supports a universal pharmacare system (our free healthcare is being challenged right now in ontario under doug ford who wants to create premium healthcare for the rich)

-is a strong advocate for equality amongst poc and lgbt groups

-wants to put a federal ban on carding as it is a systematic form of racism

-wants to ban handguns in individual cities should a crisis occur (yes they are legal here)

-believes the RCMP should complete LGBTQI2S+ competency training" to ensure interactions with law enforcement are not stigmatizing or traumatizing.

-supports more inclusive shelter and transitional housing spaces for lgbt kids

-advocates for Health Canada conducting research on the health care needs and experiences of LGBTQ patients and advocates for policy changes allowing people to self-declare their gender.

-supports immediately repealing the de facto BAN ON BLOOD, TISSUE AND ORGAN DONATION by men who have sex with men and trans women who have sex with men.

-wants to reduce the carbon emissions levels of Canada to 30% of 2005 levels by 2025

-supports creating more accountability in climate change policy by creating an independent officer of parliament mandated to report on interim progress on emission reductions

-supports decriminalizing possession of all drugs and treating drug use as a medical issue rather than a criminal issue

-advocates for free contraceptives for women

-FIRED a man in his party who was charged with sexual assault allegations after he would not complete a rehabilitation program in sensitivity training

And there is SO MUCH MORE

Listen y'all I don’t love getting political on here but honest to god vote in your riding for your NDP candidate. People are scared to vote for them because of the cuts in work hours they instituted last time they were in office but that was FIFTEEN years ago under a different leader.

If a conservative leader is voted in that gives so much power to federal leaders like premier doug ford who mind you

-cut funds to OSAP a grant and loan system based in ontario to help university students of low income families pay for their education (last year I received enough money to almost pay my full tuition, this year I am receiving loans that dont even cover half of my school year. He has also erased the 6 month grace period to pay them back

-He has allowed graphic anti abortion billboards to be posted in Toronto (I will not be posting a picture but if you are curious there are pictures circulating. It has severely affected many women particularly those who have suffered from miscarrages)

-he has eliminated an ontario arts council which was established under the Indigenous Culture fund

-proposed ending the transition child benefit which helps low income families on welfare feed and clothe their kids

-CUT 70% OF PROVINCIAL FUNDING TO THE ANISHINABEK FISHERIES RESOURCE CENTER

-cut annual funding on stem cell research

-Cut: An unclear amount of funding from violence against women shelter services

-increased class sizes of elementary, middle and high schools (up to 40 kids I believe) and is making high school kids retain ONLINE credits OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL HOURS ON TOP OF HOMEWORK AND BANNING ELECTRONICS IN SCHOOLS

and that’s just the tip of the iceberg I’m sure I’m missing a bunch of information

To find out who the NDP candidate is in your riding (because yes if you’re not Canadian or have not voted before Canadian’s vote for the MP candidate in their area not for the Prime Minister themselves and whichever group has the most people voted in from a.certain group dictates who the Prime Minster will be) you can go to this website

https://www.ndp.ca/your-riding

and learn more about the MP in your area.

These issues are not new. Canada has been ignoring and mistreating Indigenous communities like Attawapiskat for centuries.
