babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.
Launch of Espaces autochtones - Radio-Canada
November 16, 2016 - 8:26am
A spot of good news: http://ici.radio-canada.ca/espaces-autochtones/ Note that CBC also has an "Indigenous" (formerly Aboriginal) section.
As I look at stories at this forum and see that I started the story about the Enquête reports on alleged SQ (Sureté du Québec) abuse of Indigenous women in Val d'Or over a year ago...
And sadly, one of the top stories of the new Space remains the MMIW tragedy:

But this section will also spotlight cultural creators and other stories.
Awesome! I hope they step up coverage on the news as well -- my sense is that people are pretty ignorant of Indigenous affairs here, but often agree wit the need for change once they are more aware of the facts.
