Citizens a century from now will study about prisons in their history lessons & wonder, "What were they thinking, why would U.S. cage millions of ppl instead of treating addiction, rehabilitating their deficiencies or retraining for their deficits?" CONCLUSION: HUMANITY FAILURE

When it comes to hiring, I will die on this hill: With the right foundational skills, you can teach a person how to do tasks for a job. You cannot teach someone how to be a good person and a delight to work with.

Yet again, @asirt believes cops committed criminal offences, but the Crown refuses to prosecute, giving no meaningful reasons, leaving Albertans to conclude: 'Because police'. #police #policeaccountability #Transparency edmontonjournal.com/news/crime/no-…

I am not a fan of fining panhandlers $500 for standing on street meridians and curbs. It costs about $400 per hour to charge and prosecute those who, in most cases, are very vulnerable people who can't afford it. Many will be found guilty in absentia. #yegcc


Keep fighting the good fight, @avnishnanda! We are supporting you from near and far.

Heartbreaking cruel treatment of unhoused persons. 💔 @Songstress28 & the Bear Paw Patrol for the work you do to help bring attention and support to these people. REAL hurting, freezing cold PEOPLE - their pain, tears and protests and lives are so much more than just numbers.

Taken last night at Bissell Center in Edmonton- they were over capacity and people standing outside. It was nearly -40! Told Kohkum’s out there, crying. They started a fire to keep warm. @ABDanielleSmith @JasonNixonAB there is not enough emergency shelter spaces unlike you’re…

When thinking about how this period of time will be remembered, it seems likely that it will eventually be acknowledged as an atrocity in the same vein as Alberta’s history of forced sterilizations. One has to wonder if the GOA, COE, and EPS are trying to kill off the homeless…

If you read my work, please read this feature. It’s a story that I was arrested & charged for. An important inside look into an Indigenous led homeless encampment in Edmonton that was raided by police & dismantled by city officials last week. You’ve seen the politicians & police…

Special shout out to those Crowns who live by the ethos of "The Crown doesn't win or lose". If you're reading this and really adhere to it... Here's to you.

From the weekend desk: Alberta’s police watchdog is declining to charge an RCMP officer who broke a man’s neck during a take down, rendering him a quadriplegic. edmontonjournal.com/news/crime/unf…

Indigenous Psychological Services is offering free help for people impacted by the encampment enclosures in Edmonton

Calgary folks please share. This was shared with me offline earlier. Temperatures will be dropping to -35°C tonight. If you see someone who is homeless and out in the freezing cold please call the HELP team at 403-998-7388. More info in the screenshot below. #yyc

Antidepressants are fine but a society that didn’t drive half of its adult population into suicidal depression would be better.


Gilliana (Jill) Shiskin Reposted

It bothers me deeply that we all knew this dangerous cold front was moving in, well over a week ago. Regardless of this, our Chief of Police and @edmontonpolice decided this cold spell into the -30's was a great time to bulldoze encampments and have a full scale enforcement…

Edmonton: It is going to feel like -60 tonight. A 10 dollar gift card to a 24 hour establishment (e.g., Tim’s, Denny’s, McDonald’s) could help save someone’s life. If you have stuff to donate and don’t know where/how or don’t have the transport to do so, please contact me!
