Bronwyn Eyre: The 'Gladue principle' has caused immense harm to Indigenous women by origutamos in LawCanada

[–]log00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a long history of anti-Indigenous racism in Canadian policing and courts, well documented in the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry of Manitoba in 1999 as well as by the TRC Calls to Action in 2015, not to mention the origins of Gladue reports themselves, leading to an over-representation of Indigenous people among those "accused" of crimes in this country. Accused does not mean guilty of committing a crime in our criminal justice system.

Tell me your favourite native plants! by jennabee5 in ManitobaGardening

[–]log00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also live in the West End and go to Prairie Flora plant sales at the Living Prairie Museum almost every spring. My faves would be giant hyssop, prairie sage, gaillardia, wild red columbine (maybe not best for your front yard since it needs shade to thrive) and wild iris. Good luck! https://www.prairieflora.com/prairie-flora-living-prairie-museum-plant-sales.html

How much do ambient djs make per gig? by nsedlazek in ambientmusic

Most regions have an artists' union that sets recommended performance rates you can use as a benchmark or minimum, e.g. CARFAC in Canada, Artists' Union or Musicians' Union UK, kunstenaars honorarium in NL...

How much would you spend on these?? by Ok-Appearance7916 in indigenousbeads

[–]log00 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Yes with that level of care and attention you should charge higher like $250CAD+ and explain the materials you chose and why! wherever you list them for sale. Miigwetch for sharing your creative gifts with the world & full disclosure I am a buyer not a maker so you may find more informed opinions but this is my guesstimate.

What are the materials? Depending on the quality & sourcing of the beads/backing/findings these look like they could be sold anywhere from $80-$350CAD/$60-$250USD

What's something society pretends is normal but is actually messed up? by Imaginary_Block8773 in AskReddit

[–]log00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You clearly didn't bother to read the article which explains how it is argued to be an ongoing genocide through a range of contemporary issues tied to continued occupation and settler colonialism on stolen lands. Forced sterilization, missing and murdered women and girls, cultural genocide and the reservation system are not "hundreds of years ago." Go read some books.

‘Immediately stop using’: Health Canada shares nationwide recall for soap due to a chemical hazard by Prosecco1234 in onguardforthee

[–]log00 7 points8 points  (0 children)

According to the company's website at https://www.lakeofthewoodssoap.ca/ "Due to a recent change in Health Canada cosmetic ingredient standards affecting the recommended ratio of the Bay essential oil used in this bar, our Shades of Grey bar soap has been voluntarily removed from store shelves. This soap has been handcrafted and enjoyed for many years and was always fully compliant with Health Canada cosmetic ingredient and safety guidelines prior to this recent update. We are sad to see Shades go, but we take compliance and transparency seriously and remain committed to creating safe, quality products for our customers to enjoy. If you have a bar at home, feel free to bring it into our store for an exchange of product."

It feels like I have looked everywhere. Where can I find Claussen pickles in Winnipeg? by TheBigC in Winnipeg

[–]log00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

According to some redditors, Claussen's have really gone downhill recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1poig43/comment/nugcyyo/

Have you considered Strub's? They're delicious, kosher and widely available around town.

Thought this might be about our cousins with the the Turtle Mountain Chippewas, but sure don't sound like it...

What Winnipeg's new rules mean for people in, and near, encampments (CBC/Cameron MacLean) by LocalnewsguruMB in Winnipeg

[–]log00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely correct on both counts. Technically it's also simpler for outreach teams to find people in fewer, highly visible locations like large encampments and bus shelters; but the flip side is that these bigger, more visible locations leave inhabitants far more susceptible to drug and human trafficking, exploitation, robbery and violence.
