South African judge Navi Pillay - who headed a UN commission that last year found Israel was committing a genocide in Gaza - has just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel committee hailed her as "one of the most respected international jurists of our time."

Our taxpayer dollars are being spent at an American company (in the middle of a trade war) that offers better deals to folks walking in off the street than to teachers ordering through the Ontario Ministry of Education portal. Make it make sense!!! #OntEd

Oh, honey . . . You didn’t show up to that game to support women. You showed up to opportunistically use women to rudely score some desperately needed attention. And harassing women is *not* supporting them. Let THAT sink in.

This ancient Algonquin Park forest started growing in the 1600s. It could be logged soon
Old forests don't stop storing carbon. In fact, a single ancient tree can absorb more carbon than an entire midsize forest stand every year.
