The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) is reaffirming its calls for the federal government to recognize First Nations jurisdiction over policing.

Chiefs from across Canada are meeting in Montreal this week for the AFN's annual general assembly.

On Wednesday, the chiefs in attendance adopted a resolution calling for Public Safety Canada to introduce federal legislation that recognizes "First Nations inherent, treaty and constitutional rights" over policing. The resolution was adopted with one opposition and one abstention.

Ghislain Picard, regional chief for Quebec-Labrador who holds the AFN portfolio on justice and policing, said the resolution reaffirms previous positions by the chiefs.

"The resolution will serve as a reminder of the positions that we have to acknowledge, respect and deliver in the face of what I would call opposition from all levels of government," he told the assembly.

The Best Vaccine and Flu Commercials: Why haven’t they been shown in the states?!!

So I grew up in the military and if your parents were overseas, you watched the Armed Forces Network (AFN)

While I was living overseas there was pandemic flu, avian flu and swine flu epidemics going on so the AFN produced commercials encouraging basic precautions like hand washing, staying home when ill, and getting flu shots.

These were darkly comedic and informative.

These first two stop motion looking animated commercials were so popular three more were made with different animation (possibly flash).

News from British Columbia, 4 July

Property owners in Nanaimo and throughout the province must pay their 2023 property taxes by July 4 to avoid fines.

2. The BC Maritime Employers Association believes that further negotiations will not lead to a collective agreement in the ongoing strike at British Columbia ports.

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada went on strike on July 1, representing workers involved in cargo loading and unloading at over 30 B.C. ports.

The employers association claims to have reached the limit of their concessions on core issues in the bargaining process.

3. The transfer of notorious Canadian killer Paul Bernardo to a medium-security prison without the knowledge of the Minister of Public Safety has raised concerns and sparked a review of the decision-making process.

The emails released reveal that the Commissioner of the Correctional Service of Canada, Anne Kelly, informed senior officials about the transfer, including the Prime Minister's Office, prior to notifying the Minister of Public Safety.

The Minister of Public Safety, Marco Mendicino, admits that his office made a mistake in not informing him of the transfer but denies any intentional attempt to keep him uninformed, and plans to issue a directive to ensure direct notification of such transfers in the future.

4. The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) has voted to remove RoseAnne Archibald from her position as national chief, citing a human resources investigation and allegations of corruption as contributing factors.

Archibald claims that her suspension and subsequent removal are a result of her efforts to fight corruption within the AFN.

The AFN will remain without a national chief until an interim leader is selected, with an election scheduled for December.

5. Two rescues were performed in 2 days in windy waters off south Vancouver Island

6. Three Nanaimo men helped an RCMP officer free a man who wasn't wearing pants

宮崎へ帰る途中ですが、買う物があり広島のコストコ寄ってますがかなり渋滞しております。米軍放送のホリデーチャンネル聴いて穏やかにしています。 I'm on my way back to Miyazaki, but I've got some things to buy, so I'm going to Costco in Hiroshima, but there's a lot of traffic. I listen to the holiday channel of the US military broadcast and calm down. #Costoco #宮崎帰省 #広島市 #米軍放送 #afn #holidaychannel (コストコ広島倉庫店) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmkqooMvc9wefGZTWy3Jjh5R5Vch2FZD_yryNw0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

tagged by @phdmama to list seven comfort movies! a lot of my comfort movies are what i like to call competency porn. which is basically movies about professionals doing their jobs well, so! here's the list

APOLLO 13—is there anything better than the scene when one of the guys in houston walks into the room and is like "we gotta figure out how to make this fit into this using nothing but that"

SPOTLIGHT—peak competency porn, honest, hard working journalists using their skills to report on the story of sexual abuse in the catholic church and it actually making an impact. wild! i have rewatched this FAR too many times for it to be healthy probably lol

AIR FORCE ONE—ok this one is silly, but really is there anything better than watching hot president harrison ford beat up a bunch of terrorists on a plane and then face off against gary oldman using a russian accent? bc honestly, i can't think of any

A FEW GOOD MEN—i just love a good courtroom drama where people shout their confessions on the stand in front of everyone. also this has tom cruise at his peak, so really?? who can complain.

SHATTERED GLASS—this is a random deep cut that i first watched early in the pandemic? but it's just. it's got everything i love. based on a true story, young hayden christensen playing a con artist journalist, and then just...an even, steady story as other journalists pick apart his lies and his life falls apart. like?? i love it. i've rewatched it A LOT.

MONA LISA SMILE—a movie that is objectively not as good as the one it's trying to ape (dead poets society) and YET it's the one i get in the mood to rewatch all the time. like this is white feminism at its peak but it is, truly, a guilty pleasure.

ALMOST FAMOUS—if you'll notice from this list, another thing i clearly like is recent period dramas and this is a great one to just get into the early 70s music scene and have some fun. also philip seymour hoffman is PHENOMENAL in this.

THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY—this is a bonus eighth film that i am adding to this list bc i only just watched it for the v first time in december and i've already rewatched it twice since. i can see it becoming a comfort move for me. in this case, the competency porn would be tom's competency at conning and murdering lol

uhhh some object ocs for an object show concept I’m making!!! yayayayayaaaa

so um. basically the thing is that all the contestants in this object show (which isn’t really a game show, more like the Hunger Games where they just have to survive +there are some challenges and other events sprinkled in there) are dead people who got randomly picked and transported there. the name of the show is AFN (which is an acronym for something I will NOT be revealing yet) and every time a contestant dies, they don’t come back and are replaced by a NEW contestant, so basically it’s just never-ending object show hell

aaaaaaaanyways this is the first (and main) team, GLASSBLOWERS! Mirrory (15 y/o) is the leader, P.C. (17 y/o) is the smartest and also the silliest, Specty (21 y/o) is the team’s “caretaker”/nerd, and Sandy is just. a San Diego surfer girl in the wrong place at the wrong time lol

and yeah that’s it
