CONFIRMED: Félix Le Chat daycare is closed today. In a letter obtained by CBC, parents were told a second person who regularly frequented the daycare tested positive to #COVID19. The daycare is located in the Haultain neighbourhood in #Saskatoon. #covid19sk Image
Just reached the spokesperson for the daycare. She tells me no comment for now. I will keep you updated as I learn more and as the story unfolds.
The daycare is located in the same building as the École canadiennne-française school. I was on site today and can confirm that students are in school today at ECF. #skpoli #covid19sk

Dispatches from the Prairies.

1/ I have never said this publicly. But, I will also say it now. As a Black woman reporter in Canada & specifically in Saskatchewan, I have for years held myself from reporting on hate groups for my own safety.
2/ Hate groups run by white supremacists are extremely dangerous to me in the practice of my job as a Black journalist. As we know, women and specifically women of colour are disproportionally attacked by trolls. It is profoundly sad to feel unsafe as a Black journalist.
3/ I hope I will still be safe after tweeting this. Frankly, my heart is racing right now.

Dispatches from the Prairies
On #SuicidePreventionDay, facts in #Saskatchewan
A Thread
1/ Overall suicide rates are four times higher in the Indigenous population than in the province's general population. #skpoli
2/ The @fsinations analyzed coroner's reports from suicides in Saskatchewan between 2005 and 2016 and concluded that a First Nations teen girl is 29 times more likely to kill herself than a non-Indigenous teen girl.
3/ Tristen Durocher is a 24-year-old Métis man from Northern Sask. He recently walked more than 600 kilometres to Regina, where he set up a teepee and began a 44 days ceremonial fast to call for a legislated suicide prevention plan. #SuicidePrevention #skpoli

À l’approche du discours du Trône du premier ministre canadien, la Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne demande à @JustinTrudeau un engagement à déposer un projet de loi sur la modernisation de la Loi sur les langues officielles d’ici la fin de 2020. #rcsk #frcan Image
La FCFA veut aussi que cet engagement figure dans la lettre de mandat de la ministre des Langues officielles. #frcan #cndpoli
« Ça fait depuis 2018 qu’on en parle, de la modernisation. (...) Avec tout ce qui s’est dit et écrit sur cette question, il n’y a aucune raison de ne pas passer à l’action maintenant  », dit le président de la @fcfacanada, Jean Johnson @Jean_H_Johnson. #frcan #francophonie Image

At a press conference on the #GreatGreenWall in the #Sahel and #Sahara
Deputy Secretary-General of the @UN @AminaJMohammed says it is vital to complete the wall. "The #GreatGreenWall provides solutions to properly respond and recover from the current challenges." Image
The #GreatGreenWall is meant to tackle climate change, land degradation, and loss of biodiversity in the #Sahel and #Sahara from Senegal to Djibouti. 65% of African land is currently degraded. #ClimateChange #desertification
Close to 18 million hectares of land have been restored by the #GreatGreenWall. The target is 100 million hectares by 2030. In an update today, @UNCCD says 8,2 million hectares & $4.3 billion are needed to reach the goal.

Dispatches from the Prairies
1/ I started the Dispatches from the Prairies months ago, in the midst of the #BlackLivesMatter protests, as I was reporting on the historical & present day echos of the movement on the Prairies as a way to give context & analysis to the facts.
2/ Since then, I have expanded the Dispatches from the Prairies to map out the complexities of race, blackness and to include literature, politics, stories of present day Black Canadians on the Prairies, photography of this gorgeous geographical space, and much more.
I’ve been Black on the Prairies for twenty years and it’s been a fascinating ride.
Ps: if you’re Black on the Prairies, get in touch. My DMs are open.

Dispatches from the Prairies
A Thread
1/ This morning, a group of Conservative MPs holding a rally in Regina's Victoria Park to voice support for the statue of #JohnAMacdonald that stands there were met by protesters calling for the statue's removal. #cdnpoli #skpoli
2/ The event was hosted by Andrew Scheer, MP for Regina-Qu'Appelle, Michael Kram, who represents Regina-Wascana, and Warren Steinley, the MP for Regina-Lewvan.
3/ Those opposed to the statue say it should come down due to the fact that Macdonald created the blueprint for residential schools and deliberately starved Indigenous peoples on the plains.
