It is an honour and a privilege for me to add my name alongside the original petition signers. I just signed the Pledge for Canada on Action Network.
This petition is intended as an invitation to Canadians to reflect on the current challenges Canada faces and what we can all do to respond to the risks and to contribute to building a more resilient Canada.

This petition is intended as an invitation to Canadians to reflect on the current challenges Canada faces and what we can all do to respond to the risks and to contribute to building a more resilient Canada. Please consider signing on to the Pledge for Canada if you agree that the principles set out represent a useful starting point for encouraging the solidarity we need and for urging our leaders to work together to develop a whole of Canada approach.
We look forward to your joining us for a two-hour workshop on Zoom, orienting you to the Rainbow Rights publication which launched in November 2024. We will offer TWO FREE workshops, ON ZOOM, to the general public at these times: WEDNESDAY January 22nd 2025 from 1-3pm AST WEDNESDAY February 12th 2025 from 6-8pm AST Our goal: support folks in Nova Scotia (Mi’kma’ki) to understand their human rights and what options and resources are available to them if they face discrimination. Our workshop will review things like: ✨ Human rights protections, including provincial and federal human rights legislation, ✨A review of other legal protections, and ✨ How to stay sane and self-advocate in sustainable ways This workshop is designed for queer folks themselves, and those who support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

About 70 traps being fished by Charles Francis and his crew from Eskasoni appeared to be deliberately damaged — the wood frames smashed and mesh cut — while the men were working in their treaty-protected fishery near Louisbourg, N.S.
