#CULTURE: New CBC podcast reclaims Indigenous hist #CULTURE: New CBC podcast reclaims Indigenous history one word at a time -- The series examines the meanings of 11 words that were twisted by centuries of colonialism “Discovery” and “reserve” are the first two words broken down in “Telling our Twisted Histories,” a CBC podcast that was released in late May. Hosted by actor Kaniehti:io Horn and directed by journalist Ossie Michelin, the 11-episode series educates listeners on decolonizing words through conversations with 75 people from 15 Indigenous communities whose lands now overlap with Quebec, New Brunswick and Labrador. --- Read the article for details at the link in our bio! #podcast #Indigenoushistory #colonialism #decolonization #cbc #canada #runnermag

#FEATURE: Bugs on the BBQ -- Local experts say rep #FEATURE: Bugs on the BBQ -- Local experts say replacing animal agriculture with farmed insects can contribute to a more sustainable diet It is estimated that at least two billion people consume insects worldwide, and more than 1,900 species have been used as food sources. A few gourmet dishes made with insects from around the world include queen ant egg tostadas from Mexico, bug tapas or fried insects from Cambodia, and even insect ramen from Japan. Others include Mod daeng, which are eggs from weaver ants in Thailand, and the Hormiga culona, fried fat-bottomed ants from Colombia. Eating insects can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, by lowering the amount of water and land needed for agriculture. However, it’s still a matter of Canadians getting used to its crunchy and nutty texture. --- Read the article for details at the link in our bio! #agriculture #sustainability #ediblebugs #greenhousegas #gasemissions #climatechange #runnermag
#FEATURE: Stem cell donations are largely underrep #FEATURE: Stem cell donations are largely underrepresented for diverse groups -- Less than three per cent of registered potential donors are of diverse ethnic backgrounds Hundreds of Canadians each year need a stem cell transplant, but ethnically diverse groups are largely underrepresented in Canada’s stem cell donor registry. Black patients of all ethnic backgrounds have an estimated 16 to 19 per cent chance of finding a matched unrelated donor. Ethnic donors make up less than three per cent of the Canadian stem cell registry. In contrast, white patients of European descent have a 75 per cent chance of finding a matched unrelated donor. And about 68 per cent of donors on the Canadian stem cell registry are white. Stem cells are capable of developing into other kinds of cells like muscle cells, blood cells, or nerve cells. Stem cells can be used to treat over 80 diseases and disorders. Commonly leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and other bone marrow deficiency diseases are treated with stem cell donations. --- Read the article for details at the link in our bio! #stemcells #donations #stemcelltransplant #donors #runnermag

From the Editor: It's time for Canada to commit to From the Editor: It's time for Canada to commit to actions, not words, in addressing the needs of Indigenous people The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has identified more than 4,100 children who died of disease or accident while attending a residential school. However, that number could be as high as 15,000, according to Indigenous leaders. Despite this, and the fact that the TRC final report and calls to action were released six years ago, the Canadian government still chooses to spend resources on unfairly policing Indigenous people, and letting the ongoing effects of colonialism continue. --- Read the editorial at the link in our bio. #editorial #215children #canadiangovernment #colonization

#NEWS: A year later, the George Floyd Justice in P #NEWS: A year later, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act bill has yet to be passed -- KPU criminology instructor says passing the bill would be ‘historic’ but more work needs to be done It’s been a year since the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act bill was passed in the House in the U.S. and it continues to remain in standstill as many wait for it to be passed in the Senate. The Act is a reform bill that was created after the murder of George Floyd last May. The bill was created to roll back some of the protection for officers who knowingly commit a crime while on the job. The bill lowers the “criminal intent standard, limits qualified immunity, and grants administrative subpoena power to the Department of Justice … in pattern-or-practice investigation.” --- Read the article for details at the link in our bio! #GeorgeFloyd #policingact #KPU
