I had the pleasure of speaking tonight with 79-year-old NunatuKavut elder James G Learning, one of the many Labrador Land Protectors who have been criminalized for trying to stop the destruction of their lands and waters downstream of the Muskrat Falls megaproject. Jim told me he plans to be on Parliament Hill May 7 and join us as we head right into the House of Commons to ensure that the voices and words of all who are at risk are seen and heard. Will you be joining Jim Learning and others for our peaceful rally and nonviolent resistance action as we try to stop a federally funded ($9.2 billion) act of cultural genocide? For folks joining from Lanark County, contact Matthew at tasc@web.ca
