It's incredibly dangerous to be an Indigenous climate activist; around 200 climate defenders were murdered in 2023 per Global Witness, many Indigenous, with prosecutions rare.
Daria Egereva fought for Indigenous voices at the UN. Now she’s in a Russian jail.
Observers say Egereva’s case highlights the risks Indigenous advocates face when they challenge powerful governments on climate and human rights.

Get this into your rotted capitalist brains: Canada Post is a service and Crown corporation, not a private enterprise. Stop calling it a “bottomless money pit”. The more you all focus on how it needs to be profitable, the more service cuts there will be, to the detriment of all residents in Canada.
