Top text in white Calls for Justice. Bottom right corner Instagram address @reconciliation_action_group human and indigenous rights and governmental obligations 1.8 We call upon all governments to create specific and long-term funding, available to Indigenous communities and organizations, to create, deliver, and disseminate prevention programs, education, and awareness campaigns designed for Indigenous communities and families related to violence prevention and combatting lateral violence. Core and sustainable funding, as opposed to program funding, must be provided to national and regional Indigenous women’s and 2SLGBTQQIA people’s organizations.

The right top is a picture of Jackie’s family behind a banner with Justice for Jackie in the front middle. The left side a blue sign with a picture of Jackie and her name below Jaqueline Crazybull. The right side a white sign with black text Who Killed My Aunt? And four red handprints. Beige text below the picture In 2007, our beloved Jacqueline Clara Crazybull was tragically murdered during the Calgary Stampede. Jackie and her cousin were sharing a meal on a bench on 17th ave when a group of four individuals approached them, asking for directions. Jackie got up to help that’s the kind of caring person she was. Instead of gratitude, she was attacked. The men jumped out of a car and stabbed her.

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

Last year I criticized Vincent Lam for his congratulatory framing in a Globe piece, in which Timmins opening a detox drove a reduction in overdose deaths.

But the data suggested those deaths had been pushed out to “home communities” through brutal municipal policy.

ricochet.media/justice/hous...
Displacement as policy The emergency declaration revealed what Barrie has long wanted: not to solve homelessness, but to export it. Nuttall has been explicit that part of the city’s strategy is to “repatriate” unhoused people to their “home communities.” Translation: if you are poor, unhoused, and without family support, you are not welcome here. Barrie’s solution is banishment.

Worthwhile analysis in @ricochetmedia.bsky.social on the place we end up when our only response to poverty is criminalization.

ricochet.media/justice/hous...
In Barrie, poverty is the crime and visibility the emergency
The Ontario city’s so-called ‘state of emergency’ is a manufactured crisis built on cruelty, not care

Alt text: Red background with dark blue square in the top left with light beige text of Justice for Jackie reward fundraiser. Beige text right of the blue box That night, five people in Calgary were stabbed by this same group. Jackie was the only one who lost her life. Picture on the right below the text of a drum leaning against a tree, a bowl with sipatsimo medicines carried with the family for the memorial walk. Text to the left of the picture To this day — more than 17 years later — her case remains unsolved. No one has ever been charged in connection to her death. Our family has lived with heartbreak, unanswered questions, and the pain of not knowing who is responsible.

Alt text: Red background with dark blue square in the top left with light beige text of Justice for Jackie reward fundraiser. Beige text right of the blue box Jackie was so much more than a victim. Picture below text on right of Jackie Crazybill a beautiful woman with dark hair and red lipstick smiling at the camera. Text to the left of the picture She was a mother, a loving sister, an auntie, and a daughter. She was the heart of family gatherings, the one who kept everyone together. Since her passing, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews have been born — children who never got the chance to know her, yet whose lives have been deeply affected by her loss. It has now been 17 Christmases, 17 birthdays, 17 Thanksgivings that we have missed with Jackie, while the people responsible have continued to celebrate those same milestones with their families.

With your help, we want to create a reward fund to encourage people to finally come forward. Our goal is to raise $20,000 to offer as a reward for information that leads to an arrest in Jackie’s case. We hope this will be the push needed for someone to break their silence and help bring long overdue justice for Jackie.

THREAD. Did you know that at about 1/3 of all stranger homicides in the U.S. are perpetrated by police? But there's something hidden here that is important to understand in this authoritarian moment.

Our network stands in solidarity with the flotilla participants bringing life-saving aid to Gaza who have been illegally abducted by Israel.

While the ceasefire deal brings hope, it does not erase the suffering Palestinians have endured, or Canada's complicity.
