1/ 1318 meetings with fossil fuel lobbyists in Mark Carney’s first year in office. Another summer of Canada burning. It’s clear whose interest this pipeline is actually in, and it sure isn’t Canadians'.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney stand in front of workers in hard hats, smiling. News headline text: Carney designates West Coast pipeline as national interest project. 'National' struck out and replaced with corporate.

Access to bathrooms is not a policy. It is a human right and THE LAW.
The manager of Sportsman's Club told CBC News that the business tries to accommodate transgender people, but that doesn't include access to washrooms and the venue does not have gender-neutral facilities.
The manager said there are no plans to change the bathroom policy.

One thing about the Cornell 7 is that none of them dressed up like women to rape a woman. The issue is not trans women in washrooms. Women are attacked by cis men everywhere.

Last week, Avi Lewis and our NDP caucus joined Bank of Canada security workers on the picket line. As the Liberals ramp up their attacks on the right to strike, we'll keep standing with workers to fight back, together.

Listen. I’m not a supporter of doxxing. But if you create a viral image of yourself and friends insulting an ally, and you think that demonstrates the kind of judgment that makes you a good credit union CEO, well, you deserve to be fired.

I was just thinking today more places will announce the end of time changes before Nov. 1. Now, with the exception of western Nunavut, only provinces east of Manitoba will have time changes. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I wear tabs exclusively because when I was wearing bands I was complimented on my “blouse” and then asked what I do. That was 20 years ago so maybe they are more well known now, but I like that tabs are so immediately recognizable

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.

1/ Climate change is not some far-off threat. It is here. It is happening.   And it is caused by the burning of fossil fuels that the Liberal government is pouring billions of public money into expanding.   This is the crisis we cannot afford to ignore.

It is a common tactic of those in power to draw attention to vandalism to distract from their own violence. Don’t fall for it.

Incredibly brazen for the Prime Minister to boast about the “lasting benefits” of expanding fossil fuel production on a day like today. Record-breaking heatwaves. Toxic smoke engulfing cities and towns. Out of control wildfires forcing entire communities to evacuate. /1

Nice job! Here’s my example. My range of sexuality. It was easier to draw, print, and colour than figure out how to make this digitally. And I like it!
A slide titled “Hung up on intercourse” with three embedded round shapes. The centre shape has the word intercourse. The next shape has the words: Affection, mutual support, intimacy. The largest shape has the words: partnership, relationship, play, communication.

Yes! When the church understands our role in mutual flourishing in community it is beautiful. When we see it as territory, we not only become paternalistic but we become insular and ignore the global issues that cause harm, including those we have perpetuated.
