The first of my sungolds are ripening. I ate my first one yesterday and I'm in love! A "heaven ball" as Luanne from King of the Hill put it. 🤤

Had a great day beating the heat at Wizard lake with some family and learned that mountain dandelions exist. (Agoseris aurantiaca)

@cbcworld so she’s going to ‘Dansplain’ the SA to the First Nations’ Chiefs? #abpoli #ableg #SovereigntyAct #treaty6 #alberta

Probably not a good idea to break a peace treaty.

"We want to send a message to the premier, and the #Alberta government that these lands are treaty lands, and this law directly infringes upon our #Treaty6, which is why we decided to take legal action,”

‘Premier Smith does not understand our Treaty or our inherent rights nor does she respect them’ – Treaty 6 chiefs

"The chiefs of the #AlbertaFirstNations of the #Treaty6 Confederacy are deeply concerned by the implications of #UCP’s sovereignty agenda and have urged the #DanielleSmith Government “to withdraw and reconsider any legislation that pretends jurisdiction over Treaty Lands and Peoples,” as does the #SovereigntyAct."

I posted this a day or two ago.

Now that I'm on this thing, I see folks making #introduction posts. Here's mine:

I'm Dave, 40-something software developer and occasional photographer in #yeg / #treaty6. I bike year-round, and have recently gotten into #packrafting.

I have chinchillas, reptiles, and an elder cat. I love birds, beer, coffee, and cooking.

I'm big on building community, both off and online, which is why I started @yeg.bike. Hopefully it can help fill a void being opened by the decline of #birdsite.

It was so wonderful to celebrate the Honourable Madame Justice Aunty Cheryl (Arcand-Kootenay) today during her swearing in ceremony to the Alberta Court of Kings Bench!

Justice Arcand-Kootenay is the FIRST (!) Treaty First Nation justice on ABKB. So proud of her hard work. 🧡#RepresentationMatters #IndigenousJustice #IndigenousWomenRise #kipohtakaw #Treaty6 #AbLeg #AbPoli

(Also please see my favourite niece 🐝 running in the back)

@ABecenti many indigenous in my feed hashtag their treaty number or specific nation. So search #Treaty6 or #AlexisNakota for example and put the hashtag for your nation and/treaty in your posts.

Proud of the work our Treaty 6, 7 and 8 Chiefs have done today. Kinanâskomitinawaw okimawak ✊🏽 #ableg #abpoli #TreatyRights #Inherentrights #Treaty6 #Treaty7 #Treaty8

#introduction I live and work in #ottawa (unceded anishinaabe territory), but I grew up on a farm in #Saskatchewan #treaty6 and still have lots of family there.

For work I follow federal and provincial budgets, #InternationalTrade, #ClimateJustice, and #labour - which lately means lots on #inflation and #wages.

I have an #ebike that I love, and am responsible for the care and feeding of a #rotweiller and a teenager.

Definitely have #ADHD, love learning new things and debating politics.
