Significant progress in #Canada where all but one medical school have #FirstNations representation in #leadership roles. A breach of #culturalsafety is a professional breach that can be addressed by authorities. @RicharLisa @Royal_College #IMS2023 
Fantastic initiative in #Canada bringing key stakeholders together to address gaps in #indigenoushealth. @Royal_College @CFPC_e @IPACIndigenous @AFMC_e @MedCouncilCan @RicharLisa #IMS2023 ncime.ca
Indigenous peoples have the right to govern the collection, ownership and application of data about communities, peoples, lands, and resources. This sovereignty was never ceded. @RicharLisa #IMS2023

Earlier today, Municipal Affairs Minister Steve Clark confirmed that the PC government didn't consult with #FirstNations before passing their controversial housing #Bill23 23. Said consultations will happen now, that it's already become law. #onpoli
Clark also said municipalities will also "deal with our #Indigenous partners" as well.
The @ChiefsofOntario are not amused, arguing that #Bill23 is a "blatant violation" of Indigenous rights, and that the PCs do not have jurisdiction to make "unilateral administrative changes"

"First Nations are in the best position to identify the necessary measures to mitigate or prevent adverse environmental impacts. We are concerned with Clark's comments to 'deal' with First Nations by way of requesting after-the-fact commentary regarding the passing of Bill 23."
Good morning twitter! I'm @mariarostrublee Associate Prof at @MonashUni @MonashPolsIR in International Relations, where I teach & do research on international security -- especially related to #nuclear I look forward to sharing my day with you for @nuclearsciweek #WiNTakeOver22
@mariarostrublee @MonashUni @MonashPolsIR @nuclearsciweek I'm working from home today in the gorgeous city of Melbourne, so I started off with a walk with my amazing dog Champ, who is now enjoying a bit of a nap.

1/ As if the #opioid crisis and the pending #ONhealth ED collapse weren’t enough, @OntariosDoctors section on Addiction Medicine warning OAT clinics across Ontario could see service disruptions as of Dec 1, 2022 (ironically #internationalaids day)
2/ At issue is the implementation of the new virtual care codes which will slash fees for video consultations with new patients— patients in rural or remote areas without access to specialists are likely to be most impacted. #onpoli #onhealth
3/The irony is that #mentalhealth in #ontario was pioneering in establishing the virtual care capacity that got us through #covid. Many community-based #buprenorphine programs in rural and remote areas operated virtually prior to the pandemic, increasing #accessibility to OAT.
1/10 PM @JustinTrudeau & #NATO @jensstoltenberg just visited #Canada’s biggest fighter jet base, CFB Cold Lake, in #Alberta. Canadians should know that the land for this @RCAF_ARC base & air weapons range was stolen from First Nations 70 years ago. bit.ly/3CxYLCb 🧵⬇️
2/From 1952-1960 Liberal govt gave minimal compensation to Dene & Cree peoples for taking land then stopped all payments. Loss of land had devastating consequences: poverty, despair & trauma. They lost traditional hunting grounds & sacred sites that were under Treaties 6, 8 & 10.
3/For 7 decades, all year long, Canada’s #fighterjets conduct loud, low-level flights over reserves & they bomb, strafe and torpedo #ColdLake Air Weapons Range, it's boreal #forest habitat for endangered #caribou. Land contaminated w/ munitions & toxins from military. @IENearth
I’m putting together a video diary of my experiences as a #Whistleblower and #FirstNations person. Over the weeks I intend to discuss the racism I’ve personally experienced in Australia and the corruption I’ve witnessed from @AusFedPolice @actgovernment and ACT “just-us” system
Good morning everyone it’s #ReconciliationWeek again, and I’m posting the second instalment of my video diary. As I’ve often mentioned before on Twitter I’m a member of the stolen generation(s) and a whistleblower into corruption in the Government Solicitor’s office and Treasury.
It’s the #ReconciliationDay Holiday in the ACT today, and day that drips with hypocrisy. The ACT has the highest per capita rate of #FirstNations incarceration in the country, it’s had the highest growth in FN incarnation in the country. The ACT has structural racism issues …
Is anyone keeping track of how many Apologies have been given to #FirstNations #Indigenous peoples in Canada?
Or more importantly..changes that have come as a measure of amends for acknowledged wrongs commensurate with the level of harm for what’s being apologised for?

I understand that the #Indian #ResidentialSchools were but one component of the overall Xanadian Gov strategy to remove #FirstNations from their Traditional Territories for the use & benefit of settlers & exclude FN’s from any benefit of wealth generated
This exclusion is successfully being perpetuated today by the Crown Govts of Canada
PM’s Harper & Trudeau have apologised for what has happened like it was from a far off long ago era
#ResidentialSchools amends must far more than “Healing” but include the political dynamic

how many #firstnations have been harmed by @JustinTrudeau? how many firstnation women have been kidnapped and killed under his rule?
how many pipeline, tarsands, and fracking protests have been attacked!!!! the government now has fascist powers over any of that! you will be labelled a real terrorist now!

My late father never said he was a survivor, he said he was an escapee of residential schools.

#TruthAndReconciliation is marketing-as is #OrangeShirtDay2021 & holiday for white people on stolen land. Reconciliation would be giving land back. EuroAmerican destroys everything in path. #Indigenous peoples rep. less than 5% of pop. -yet support approx. 80% all #biodiversity.
#TruthBeforeReconciliation would be criminal charges against those responsible for res. schools & dead children. "However, as w/ any criminal case, the charges would be laid by the Crown—which would essentially amount to the govt putting itself on trial."

@AboriginalPress --- and I apologize for poor govt --- today we have Liberal MP's cabinet ministers & pm that have neglected Cdns, exasperated the many First Nations situations, put all of Canada in a worse position. His lies & apologies are empty. @liberal_party @CPC_HQ
PM Harper did not go far enough, that part is true. But Justin's father built the schools. Chretien was Minister of Indian Affairs. So much water under the bridge has done nothing to help. I know we can repair the water-problems

Penalised if they spend too long with a patient.
Medicare cards are linked with abusive hsbs so some women cannot access medical help.
GPs know that women need more than what can be offered in a consult- but the psychologist or psychiatrist books are full- & they charge gaps...

Dietary-related ill-health and mental illness cost Australia around $200 bn every year.
With COVID-19 and the climate emergency, these costs will rise and more will experience #hunger and #foodinsecurity. In a country as wealthy as #Australia, there is no excuse for this.
