Cops in Atlantic Canada have already murdered two Indigenous men this year, within 5 days of each other.
Darrell Augustine, Sipekneβkatik First Nation and Bronson Paul, from Neqotkuk First Nation.
The RCMP is a violent colonial institution built on the murder of Indigenous people.
"I am so glad I am Canadian".
Babe, wake up. It's Canada's armored vehicles, guns, security contractors, surveillance tech & digital platforms being used to suppress resistance south of the so called border & everywhere from Sudan, to Palestine, to Haiti.

A poster is headlined: Special Event Righting the Wrongful Conviction and Execution of Daniel Sampson. Feb. 5, 7-9pm Room 105, Weldon Law Building (Dalhousie University) Speakers: David Steeves, Michelle Williams, Lance Sampson, Tim Bousquet
Come hear us talk about the wrongful conviction of Daniel Sampson
Renee Nicole Goodβs killing by an ICE agent underscores how policing, borders and cages are βdeathβmaking institutions,β and her legacy calls on people who see themselves in her to deepen solidarity with all communities targeted by state violence.
Our thoughts are with the family and community of the man killed by RCMP in Sipekneβkatik First Nation yesterday, January 13th 2026.
With rage and solidarity we continue to call for divestment from policing and investments in safer, evidence based alternatives.
Over the last two decades, police departments across the country have become more militarized, and no group has experienced an increase in police violence like women β particularly Black and brown women.
Is this how the U.S. "protects" women?
Thereβs still time to contribute to the January fund! Mutual aid saves lives!!
We can keep each other safe, free, together. We just need to be smart about organizing in these times, in this digital age of deep fakes and online life. Hereβs some thinks to think through- we got this fam.1/
Keith Porter's daughter talks about how her father was murdered by an off-duty ICE agent in Los Angeles
Someday this wonβt be true, but that day is not today.
It's never about protesting "peacefully" or "complying" with cops. It's always about a monopoly on violence.
Horrifying. Its essential now and always to tap into community - join mutual aid projects that understand that we are the ones who keep each other safe. find a group organizing against police budget increases in your area. redistribute your wealth if you have it. talk to your neighbours.

βPeacefulβ resistance is a lie. Even the title of it is a misnomer. It is not peaceful to protest passively while armed thugs hog tie you & suspend your rights in detention, depriving you of food and water until you are processed.
Take this pattern and apply it to anything. Passive =\= peaceful.
Itβs TankTalk Day in Halifax:
Watch Fridayβs vote on the ARV carefully βwhich councillors are acting as rubber stamps for HRP and which are voting on the side of evidence, community well-being, and the clear will of the people?

Councilβs strong emphasis on keeping taxes low this year has left many of the community programs unsure if theyβll get their requested funding. The potential choice to cut funding to life affirming community programs in favour of the $603,000 tank will display councilβs priorities very clearly 11/11
The Community Mediation Pilot, Youth Advocate, and JustFOOD programs fill critical gaps in safety, food security, and youth support - urging council to reimagine βsafetyβ by addressing root causes of βcrimeβ, not funding violent punishment. 10/11
This leaves several important BAL items up for discussion on Fridayβincluding 4 community-safety programs and the Tank.
026 Community Mediation Pilot Program β $100,000
002 JustFOOD Program β $328,000
006 Youth Advocate Program β $254,500
