Hello World, we need to talk about Canada.
I'm doing this in the context of my #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike, because the Winnipeg youth Climate Strike group, @mbyouth4climate, has been very involved in #WetsuwetenSolidarity #ShutDownCanada actions.

Fisheries Act no longer protects most fish
Navigable Waters Act doesn't protect most lakes/rivers
