First Nations' court challenge may block Alberta separatism itself, not just petition drive
The argument lawyers are making: since treaties are between Indigenous people and Canada, a province trying to leave would be ripping up treaties.

💔 Why are we being ignored… just because we're from Gaza?

Has pain here become less valuable? Or are our cries no longer heard?

We're not asking for the impossible…
We're simply asking to live with dignity, to find someone to lend us a helping hand in this cruel darkness.

Every day we're broken more,
Every day we're forced into silence despite the unbearable pain…
❗But remember:
Your indifference doesn't end our suffering… it only intensifies it.

🙏 Don't just stand by and watch.
Help us, share, support us… even with a word.
You might be the reason someone's life is saved.
📢 Our voice is a trust… don't let it be lost.
🇵🇸💔
