Non-drivers of any age deserve to travel safely. And everyone deserves to choose the mode of transportation that suits them, and not be forced to drive a car in a city.

The mobility of children is simply not taken seriously or viewed as important. Something illustrative is how people will often say that kids "don't count" when you remind them that children and young teens are nondrivers who deserve the right to get around without cars.

It’s lovely to see teens thank the bus driver when they exit the bus. But there’s a norm from bigger cities I’d like to see normalized here too. To make room on a crowded bus, if you’re standing, take off your backpack and hold it in your hand.

The former director of Mossad would be deemed antisemitic according to the IHRA definition of antisemitism.
"Tamir Pardo, a former head of the Mossad security agency, told Israeli television after touring West Bank villages: “My mother was a Holocaust survivor, and what I saw reminded me of the events that happened against Jews in the last century.”"

Althia Raj is doing some of the most important reporting out there right now, exposing how Carney is dismantling any semblance of Canada’s progressive values. Pharmacare, child care, now the environment… Please, pay attention. He’s eviscerating environmental laws worse than Harper. Than HARPER!!!
Screenshot of an article by Althia Raj: “Opinion | Mark Carney runs roughshod over the environment:
'It's worse than what Harper did'”Excerpt from Althia’s article reads:

“Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to make it easier to kill off endangered species, pollute waterways and risk human health, all in the name of fast-tracking private-sector development projects.
For a prime minister who dismissed progressive Liberal MPs concerns over spending on child care, health care and pharmacare during a caucus meeting this week, Friday's announcement on streamlining infrastructure project approvals is a further indication the party is moving to the right, further than anything Liberals have seen, and a giant call to action to all Canadians who care about the environment.”Excerpt from Althia’s article reads:

“"It's shocking," Anna Johnston, a staff lawyer at West Coast Environmental Law, told the Star. "This would represent by far the worst evisceration of environmental law in Canadian history, far worse than what happened under Prime Minister (Stephen) Harper's government in 2012."
"It's worse than what Harper did, I agree," said Steven Guilbeault, the Liberal MP and former environment minister. "This goes beyond what Harper proposed when he was in power, yes, that's true"
If the federal government's proposed changes go ahead, Guilbeault said it will mean "we will have no way of evaluating or understanding what are the human health and environment impacts of projects we are approving - and that the main criteria to evaluate projects moving forward, if this is adopted, is going to be economic development and nothing else will matter."
Phil Pothen, a land-use, planning, environmental and administrative lawyer at Environmental Defence, said the government's proposal would "grant any company or project the government chooses a blank cheque to just drive entire species to extinction or extirpation.”
