Auditor General Karen Hogan speaks with reporters in Ottawa following the tabling of her latest reports to the House of Commons. Her office's four performance audit reports looks at chronic homelessness, Arctic waters surveillance, the cybersecurity of Canadians' personal information in the cloud, and emergency management in First Nations communities. She also discusses the results of the special examinations of the following three Crown corporations: Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Inc., the CBC, and the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority. (November 15, 2022)“Every Canadian deserves a safe and affordable place to call home, but for too many, including those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, and Veterans, this still isn't a reality.“I would like to thank the Auditor General for the performance audit of Chronic Homelessness in Canada. The Government of Canada welcomes the report and will be studying the findings and recommendations closely.“Homelessness is a top priority for our Government to address, and it has therefore committed to continuing to work with partners and communities to prevent and reduce homelessness across the country.The Minister of Indigenous Services, the Honourable Patty Hajdu, issued the following statement today:“Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) has received the Auditor General of Canada's report, Managing Emergencies in First Nations Communities, issued earlier today.The health, safety and well-being of First Nations communities remains our top shared priority with our partners. The seven recommendations outlined in the report for Indigenous Services Canada highlight important and critical gaps that must be addressed, both in responding to emergencies and preparing for them. The department welcomes and accepts all of these recommendations, many of which align with work underway to improve on-reserve emergency management services.

Patty Hajdu was elected as Member of Parliament for Thunder Bay-Superior North in 2015. She now serves Canada as the federal Minister of Indigenous Services. Tchadas and Patty talk about her career, the challenges facing Indigenous communities in Canada and what happens next, now that the Pope has left Canada.

On this episode, we speak with artist Carol Wylie about her exhibition They Didn't Know We Were Seeds. It is an evocative series of portraiture which invites us to consider the parallels between the Holocaust and residential schools, by introducing us to 18 survivors. Understanding the intergenerational trauma experienced by both the Indigenous and Jewish communities, this series is an important way to acknowledge first-hand accounts of survival, and of building a life, family and community after. The Jewish Federation of Edmonton has collaborated with Jewish Family Services, and the Indigenous Services team at Edmonton Public Library to bring this […]

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we think globally and act locally. We will talk about that gathering of world leaders in Scotland trying to solve climate change, or at least that's what they say, and closer to home, the Canadian government is still taking Indigenous people to court. In terms of acting locally, we will talk to the head of Guelph Campaign School about running for something next year. This Thursday, November 4, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: COP Show. Called the "last best chance" for world leaders to take decisive action on climate change, *almost* all the power players descended on Glasgow this week for COP26. There were a lot of pretty words inside the conference, but outside there was a lot of skepticism and outright anger as key polluters like Russia and China both took a powder on this COP. So was their progress, or are we still on the march to doomsday? Fight Court. If the lesson of this most recent election was that the government's not doing enough to support First Nations people, it seems to have been lost on the Federal Liberals. The government is appealing a ruling from an Ottawa court to compensate Indigenous people taken from their homes and families as children, even though the new Indigenous Services minister says she wants a resolution. But seriously, does she? Rock 'n' Roll Try School. Speaking of elections, there will be a Municipal Election next year, so local advocate are probably thinking about the stakes, their commitment, and the odds if they choose to run. Those decisions are even harder for people from under-represented communities, which is where the Guelph Campaign School is hoping to help out. Teresa McKeeman will join us this week to talk about her efforts. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

Hello and welcome to rabble radio: rabble.ca's weekly audio magazine. I'm your host and the editor of rabble.ca, Chelsea Nash. Rabble has its finger on the beat of the issues that matter to you and every Friday, we break it down for you - no matter where or how you're listening. It's a good way to catch up on the news of the week and, as with all rabble news, look at current events through a progressive lens.  This week on the show, national politics reporter Stephen Wentzell speaks with American legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky to talk about his new book: Presumed Guilty: How the Supreme Court Empowered the Police and Subverted Civil Rights, in which Chemerinsky makes the case that the United States Supreme Court has been far more likely to uphold government abuses of power -- including those done by police against racial minorities -- than to stop them. Chemerinsky is the dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT This week at rabble, senior politics reporter Karl Nerenberg had his suspicions confirmed when Justin Trudeau's government made the sly attempt to bury the news that it had filed an appeal to Federal Court Justice Paul Favel's September 29 ruling which upheld a Human Rights Tribunal order that the government pay $40,000 to all victims of the underfunded First Nations child and family welfare system.  The government's lawyers waited until the very last minute last Friday to announce the appeal -- doing so after 5pm so as to attract as little public and media scrutiny as possible. "The only surprise in the late Friday announcement was that the government will suspend its appeal process for a couple of months in order to work on a negotiated settlement with the complainants, the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society headed by Cindy Blackstock and the Assembly of First Nations," writes Nerenberg.  The newly-minted ministers responsible for this file, Justice Minister David Lametti and newly-named Indigenous Services and Crown-Indigenous Relations Ministers Patty Hajdu and Marc Miller, played their cards close to their chest. Government officials reached out to Blackstock but it wasn't until the day before the appeal that they approached her with the intention to have discussions. Blackstock and her partners at the Assembly of First Nations -- who have been fighting this fight for 14 years now -- have accepted the government's olive branch and are ready and eager to undertake good faith talks. Speaking of the new cabinet, street nurse and housing advocate Cathy Crowe weighed in on Trudeau's decision to appoint a new minister of housing. Sure, there have been ministers responsible for the housing file before, but until now, there had never been a minister with housing in their title. Ahmed Hussen now takes on that role with the official title of "minister of housing and diversity and inclusion." Crowe, having been let down by government promises on housing for decades, remains sceptical. "Our country needs a minister of housing," she writes. "We now have one in name, but with a catchall title that suggests some boxes were ticked off in Minister Hussen's appointment." In the media interviews the minister has done since his appointment, Hussen has predictably followed the Liberal's election platform pretty closely. It's what's missing there that concerns Crowe. Nowhere in the Liberal platform, nor in Hussen's interviews, has she heard the term "social housing." "We will truly have a minister of housing if the minister's mandate letter includes funding for social housing and rent-geared-to-income housing, creating a co-op housing stream, providing rehabilitation funds for old housing stock, ensuring that seniors' pensions are increased so they can afford to stay in their homes, and creating long-term care standards so our seniors can be housed safely in their later years, and the same for home care," Crowe writes.  Also on the site this week: Our coverage of COP26 continues. Brent Patterson writes about how the prime minister's promise to cap Canada's oil and gas emissions will do nothing to stop the criminalization of Indigenous land defenders. Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan point out that because of vaccine apartheid and the U.K.'s obstructive visa requirements, COP26 is the whitest and most privileged of the United Nations' climate summits since 1992.  Plus, two Indigenous films -- one a documentary -- are reviewed by Humberto DaSilva and Doreen Nicoll.  Da Silva reviews Portrait From A Fire -- a small, award-winning film that follows a First Nations youth on a supernatural journey to unravel his family's secret tragedy. Portraits From a Fire is being screened in select Canadian theatres starting November 1 and will be released through video on demand on November 9.  Nicoll reviews the documentary film: Kimmapiiyitssini: The Meaning of Empathy. Kimmapiiyitssini [GEE-maa-bee-bit-sin], the Blackfoot word for, “Giving kindness to each other,” is key in reducing deaths from drug poisoning in the Kainai community in Southern Alberta. Filmmaker Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers tells the story of the opioid crisis and how through harm reduction, compassion and de-colonizing recovery, the community has begun to heal. That film opens today, Nov. 5 in Vancouver with screenings scheduled across the country throughout November. Also in arts and culture this week, sex worker columnist Natasha Darling looks at the many ways sex workers contribute to pop culture. From the movie Zola to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's music, sex workers are most accurately represented when they themselves are in control of how they are depicted, Darling argues.  Finally, last Friday, V.S. Wells takes a look at how Canada media is importing British transphobia.  It started with Toronto Star columnist Rosie DiManno, writes Wells. Her Oct. 16 piece claimed gender-neutral language in healthcare erased women. It's not a particularly new or interesting take, and one that's been thoroughly critiqued over the years, but the Star gave the piece a full page (A3) in the news section — despite it being opinion. The online article also received a traffic boost due to being (controversially) tweeted by author Margaret Atwood on Oct. 19. A few days later, Atwood shared another article — this time from the CBC, decrying “toxic, in-your-face activism.” The opinion piece was written by a trans woman, Jessica Triff, but was filled with transphobic talking points. Triff implied that trans people who do not transition medically are “risks to women's safety,” and that the label “trans woman” should only be used to refer to someone who has “gone through therapy, hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgeries.”  Finally, there was also a CTV “investigation” into trans children and youth who are seeking gender affirming medical treatment. That story relied heavily on the stories of two cis women in the U.K. who identified as trans men, before re-transitioning back to live as women — in order to argue that trans affirming youth healthcare in Canada is too easy to access. This sudden resurgence in feminist-cloaked anti-trans media rhetoric is probably due to that strategy's success in my home country, the U.K. Wells breaks down the differences between American and British transphobia, and why we've been seeing a heightened degree of transphobia in Canadian media in recent weeks.

Some might say the unveiling of a new cabinet is like Christmas for political nerds...I guess here at rabble we are no exception. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Trudeau introduced his new cabinet to the country, shaking up his inner circle and giving us a peek into who he trusts most. There's a lot we can learn about a government from the PM's cabinet picks. What regions are represented? Whose got the chops for the top portfolios, like finance or global affairs? While there aren't any "official" demotions… who is being given a less prestigious portfolio and who is being cast out of cabinet completely? There's a lot to unpack. This is rabble radio, and this is what's up for discussion. I'm your host and the editor of rabble.ca, Chelsea Nash. This week, I'm joined by rabble's senior politics reporter Karl Nerenberg as he breaks down the meaning behind the prime minister's cabinet decisions.  After that, I'll take you through this week's top stories at rabble.ca, including lots of talk about next week's United Nations Conference of Parties 26 - that is, the UN's global climate change conference happening in Glasgow, Scotland.  Karl and I talk about the new ministers in three key portfolios: Global Affairs, Environment and Indigenous Services. Karl has been covering Parliament Hill for rabble.ca for ten years. He's been a journalist and filmmaker for over 25 years including the eight years he spent as the producer of the CBC Radio show The House. Here's what he had to say about what we can expect from this government's newly unveiled cabinet. You can read Karl's stories about the cabinet announcement and all things Canadian politics at rabble.ca.  IN CASE YOU MISSED IT The upcoming UN climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland is a crucial one, as columnist Lois Ross points out this week on the site. Many say COP 26 is our last chance to try to reach an international agreement that will limit the global temperature change to 1.5 to two degrees. Seeing as global agriculture contributes 20 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions, Ross argues that figuring out how to slash emissions in this industry should be a keystone discussion at the conference.  COP 26 isn't just about a gathering of world leaders, however. Joyce Nelson reports on three major issues that activists will be pushing on the sidelines next week, both before, during and after the conference which runs October 31 through November 12.  Activists want the 197 participant countries to include at least three more sectors in the requirements for nations' emissions reporting and cutting. The first sector is the plastics industry, which the fossil fuel sector has fully embraced as its financial life-line. When we think of plastics, we may think of the thousands of plastic particles polluting our oceans and drinking water, or we might think of wildlife getting caught in plastic trash. The plastics industry has more to answer for than that, writes Nelson, as a new report from the Beyond Plastics program at Bennington College in the U.S. reveals that plastics production is on track to release more emissions than coal.  The second sector is the world's militaries, which are currently exempt from having to report on emissions at all, thanks to the United States' insistence that the Pentagon be exempted from all international climate agreements during the 1997-98 negotiations for the Kyoto Accord on climate. Apparently, it's a matter of national security. During those same negotiations, the U.S. obtained an exemption for all countries' militaries from having to report or cut their carbon emissions.  Lastly, activists would like to see large hydro-dam projects held accountable for the emissions they produce, despite often being touted as a climate “solution.”  Also on the site this week:  Stephen Wentzell spoke to new Nunavut MP Lori Idlout about the water crisis in Iqaluit. Idlout only won her seat in the federal election two weeks before she received the news about her city's water contamination. In early October, Iqaluit residents began writing Facebook posts complaining of a foul odour in their tap water stemming from a municipal water service. That foul odour was fuel. This presented a big challenge to the territory's rookie MP, especially as the water crisis started just before a territorial election.  As Toni Morrison wrote, “all water has a perfect memory.” The revelation that an MP is being forced to live without safe drinking water should be a wakeup call for all Canadians, Wentzell writes. And, Monia Mazigh has a task list for Justin Trudeau if he is actually going to prove he is as serious about fighting Islamophobia as he made out during last month's Islamophobia summit. You'll remember that summit was organized in the wake of the fatal attack on a Muslim family in London, Ontario.  Finally, David Climenhaga has the latest in what he's now calling the implosion of the government of Alberta. He breaks down the sexual harassment allegations being levied against members of Jason Kenney's cabinet -- the latest scandal in a government that cannot seem to catch a break. There ain't no rest for the wicked. Catch up on this and all the latest headlines as always at rabble.ca.  That's a wrap for this week's episode of rabble radio.

In today's episode of “Women of Scientista” Sarah and Danielle sit down with Dr. Philpott to discuss her experiences as a woman in STEMM. Dr. Jane Philpott is a family physician and former Minister of Health, Minister of Indigenous Services and President of the Treasury Board. She is currently the Dean of Queen's University Faculty of Health Sciences. Her work experiences include, but is not limited to, medical education in Africa, HIV/AIDS fundraising, refugee advocacy, and addressing the social determinants of health.

Marc Miller, Indigenous Services Minister, was visiting various First Nations communities in Nova Scotia this week. He began the week in Cape Breton, announcing Federal funding for two programs - one: supporting indigenous language and the other: supporting first nations businesses. We ask him about his visit.

Feature interviews with the Minister of Indigenous Services and the Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.  How to navigate the road forward.  And how to discover the truth. 

In this episode, The Honourable Minister of Indigenous Services for the Canadian Federal Cabinet, Mr. Marc Miller, joins the CANZUK Podcast. He discusses why it is important for Canada to work with its like-minded partners of the Commonwealth to promote indigenous voices, its people, and how his government is working on revealing the truth on the colonial history of Canada.

Minister of Indigenous Services Canada Marc Miller takes the time to come onto Our Native Land to discuss all things Indigenous. Topics include COVID-19 relief efforts, reconciliation, and the importance of National Indigenous Day.

The Honourable Jane Philpott shot to national prominence as the first medical doctor in Canadian history to be appointed federal Minister of Health, subsequently also serving as Minister of Indigenous Services and President of the Treasury Board. But politics is only one part of a long and remarkable career so far. Dr. Philpott has served in numerous medical capacities and worked abroad providing healthcare in some of the world's most marginalized communities. She is now Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences & Director of the School of Medicine at Queen's University, and in this interview, she speaks with candour and emotion about the death of her daughter Emily, living a life of integrity, the similarities between politics and medicine, and about her hopes for medicine in the future.

Large organisations are increasingly working with Indigenous suppliers in Australia to woo customers making decisions on social values rather than just the bottom line. Governments and major companies including ANZ Bank, Medibank and Australia Post are among groups using their buying power to deliver social change. This is a stark shift from a decade ago, when many firms would have dismissed Indigenous businesses as contenders for facilities management and other building services contracts. The number of Indigenous-owned businesses is growing as a result. Registrations of businesses at least 50-percent owned by Indigenous people grew 180 percent between 2017 and 2020.   One high-profile benefactor is Mick O'Loughlin, a former footballer for the Sydney Swans, in Australia's Aussie Rules AFL league. He's also the founder and managing director of commercial cleaning business ARA Indigenous Services.  “Growing up we were always waiting for funding to come from somewhere to play sport with other communities, but as a business owner now I can just say ‘we're sponsoring this and everyone gets a jersey, everyone gets a netball uniform'. We work extremely hard, but nothing makes me more proud to be able to do that,” he says. Hear from O'Loughlin, Laura Berry, the chief executive of non-profit Supply Nation, and Robin Burton, senior supply chain diversity and sustainability specialist at JLL, as they chat to Perspectives podcast host Rebecca Kent about why working with Indigenous businesses is climbing to the top of the corporate agenda.

‘I didn't expect that I would see it again, that I would live it.' Michelle Young Service Director, Indigenous Services & Equity Lead at Childre's Aid Society in London, Canada. An enlightening and challenging conversation with Michelle Young. Jann and Michelle talk about racism and the topic of white fragility. The conversation discusses the history that we all carry with us and the deep pain felt by black and indigenous people. Black History Month is about celebrating the history, tenacity, and successes of black people. Let's do that.

Fostering economic growth and development in Indigenous communities is crucial to reconciliation. This year's Indigenous Economic Development Forum explores how we keep up the momentum on our collective efforts to expand economic opportunities with Indigenous communities across Canada. In part 1 of Indigenous Economic Reconciliation, you'll hear from the Hon. Marc Miller, Canada's Minister of Indigenous Services, and Tabatha Bull, President & CEO of the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Our MP, Rachel Blaney, was appointed the NDP Deputy Critic for Crown-Indigenous Relations and Indigenous Services. Blaney said NDP party leader Jagmeet Singh is passionate about the issues that indigenous communities across Canada are facing. So after the last election, he assumed the role as the principal party spokesperson for these concerns. She added, “He made the decision, after the last election, to take on the role of the main spokesperson on these issues. He has asked me to be the Deputy because he is the leader and it is good to have a couple of people on the file. That means I would be very working very closely with the leader on both of those important departments and ministries to address concerns that Indigenous communities and people are bringing to us.” When her appointment was announced, Singh said, “Rachel has proven that she is a strong ally for Indigenous people across the country and I have every faith that she will continue to work hard to push the government into making significant improvements in the lives of Indigenous people.” Blaney explained, “I think what he sees reflected in the work I've done is a lot of connections with Indigenous communities across the [North Island-Powell River] riding. We have over twenty communities and a fairly significant urban population. He has seen the work that have done in building those relationships up.” >>> Vice Chair of the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee Blaney's recent term as Vice Chair of the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee brought her into contact with communities across Canada. “Probably the most important [project] that we worked on was worked the legislation that was brought forward towards the end of parliament: Bill C92 - that talked about “that talks about a framework for indigenous communities to take back the power and capacity to address indigenous children in care.” “There are more Indigenous children in care now than at the height of the residential system. There is obviously something wrong. When you see that many children in care, you know there is something broken in the system as well as in some of these families.” While Blaney is proud of the work that the committee did, she feels the resulting legislation falls short. “Unfortunately, after a lot of hard work and a lot of support from stakeholders, we did not get the government to change that. There were some changes that we did get them to do, but that fundamental one - not putting a dollar figure in the legislation, but making sure that there was something about equitable funding - would have made that legislation so much stronger.” “As of today, I believe Canada has been served with eight non-compliance orders. They found that Indigenous children are getting less money invested in them; less support for foster parents, especially ‘on reserve foster parents.' Not enough in supporting families that the children can stay. They were identifying that some children were being taken because their housing was not called ‘good enough' - and that was of no fault to the community members, who were living in housing the community provided. We had communities that lived in more remote areas that talked about the challenges when children were often taken so far away that there is no ability for them to be in contact in a meaningful way with any of the family. And there is no problem solving around any of those issues.”

Three perspectives on COVID-19. Dr. Tom Wong says Indigenous services is doing what it can. In the united states Patty Talahongva is dismayed at its spread. And NDP MP Leah Gazan is staying in touch online.

Mark sits down with Seamus O'Regan, the Minister of Indigenous Services for the Liberal government of Canada. They discuss how Seamus got started in politics and what it was like to share the truth about his alcoholism with his workplace and the support he received from fellow MPs and the Prime Minister himself. 

Justin Trudeau's former principal secretary says the S-N-C-Lavalin criminal case had nothing to do with the prime minister's decision to move Jody Wilson-Raybould out of her coveted post as justice minister in a mid-January cabinet shuffle. Gerald Butts is giving the Commons justice committee what he calls a "very different'' version of events than Wilson-Raybould gave the committee last week. It began when Scott Brison stepped down as Treasury Board President. That meant Jane Philpott was switched over from Indigenous Services and took over in Scott Brison's old role. In turn, Trudeau tried and failed to get Jody Wilson-Raybould to take over in Indigenous Services - but that didn't go down well. In this clip, Gerry Butts gives his version of the events that followed, and you'll hear him describe how Wilson-Raybould has very unhappy to no longer be Justice Minister. In this clip, Butts describes the phone conversation between Justin Trudeau and Jody Wilson-Raybould. And just to let you know: he refers to that position as ‘MOJAG' - that means the Minister of Justice and Attorney General. Guest: Keith Baldrey Global's BC Legislative Bureau Chief

Chapter 1

Russ Diabo, policy analyst and publisher of the First Nations Strategic Bulletin, says that when Judy Wilson-Raybould ran afoul of the bureaucracy and Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sided with Bennett. Later, Greg Janes discusses the promotion of Seamus O'Regan to Indigenous Services from Veterans Affairs, where his performance got an F from vets.

It’s “pedal to the metal” for the new Indigenous services minister. But does Seamus O’Regan have what it takes? That’s on this episode on Nation to Nation.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has moved 3 of his Ministers and added 2 rookies in a cabinet shuffle this past hour. Most notably, Jodie Wilson Raybould has been moved from the Justice portfolio to Veterans Affairs. Seamus O

The Indigenous Affairs committee grilled civil servants this week over the gap in graduation rates on-reserve. The suggestion is that heads should roll over in Indigenous Services. We see what our panel of MPs thinks and their answers may surprise you. As well, more and more children are being caught up in foster care in the Northwest Territories. It's increasingly being described as a disaster.

The political panel is back and talking about the new department of Indigenous Services. Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Grand Chief Arlen Dumas describes what he wants a nation to nation relationship to look like. And an Indigenous woman from Mexico wants Canadians to take note of her people’s plight against a major highway development.

Double the fun or double trouble? Seemingly out of nowhere, the federal Liberals have decided to re-arrange the political furniture as part of a late summer shuffle of their Cabinet. What is now Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada will be cleaved in two—in future, First Nations will have to deal with the department of "Crown-Indigenous relations and Northern Affairs" and the department of "Indigenous Services." But will INAC be cleaved so much as cloned? What does this ostensible re-org actually, concretely mean? In light of this unexpected shift, we’re doing a shift of our own this week to go as deep as possible on exactly these questions with special guests Russ Diabo, a Kahnawake Mohawk analyst, writer and activist, and Peter Di Gangi, a land rights researcher and analyst with Sicani Research. // Our theme is 'nesting' by birocratic.
