To defend Canada, our grandparents went to war, bled, & died.

To defend Human Rights, our parents marched, were beaten, & arrested.

All we are asked to do is SHOW UP.

#yxh is holding an event too!

A new project led by WCS & funded by NASA, is shining some paws-itive light on their future.

Using satellite imagery to map out & predict the future of jaguar habitat, we'll be able to identify the areas which need conservation the most. ๐Ÿงก

Annex businesses tell Ford to back off Bloor bike lanes Stores in the Annex say the Bloor bike lanes have been a big boost to business. As Michelle Mackey reports, the neighborhood's BIA wants the province to back off its new bill that could see the lanes ...

WATCH: Seriously, if youโ€™re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually canโ€™t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.

There should be no private pay LTC.

We saw what happened in Ontario during COVID.

We also should understand that when it is for profit, corners will be cut. The primary directive for these is profit, not patient care.

Last Feb I went back to Hellnar on the Snรฆfellsnes Peninsula in #Iceland, where I'd been stuck in snow the previous Jan, hoping for something similar. Didn't get a flake of snow! I was able to explore more, including these amazing obsidian cliffs with waves constantly crashing over them though :)

Donโ€™t you dare tell me we donโ€™t have enough money to feed and house everyone.
We do.
What we donโ€™t have is a system willing to inconvenience the powerful.
Poverty is policy. Homelessness is a choice society makes every day.

You canโ€™t treat trauma on a sidewalk.
You canโ€™t recover in a shelter line.
You canโ€™t build stability without a door that locks.
If weโ€™re serious about mental health, addiction, and safety then we must be serious about housing.

A fascinating longform investigation which reveals that the Trump administration in large part decided to sanction Albanese, the the U.N. special rapporteur for Palestine, because American businesses were alarmed by the prospect of being named "human rights abusers' due to their ties to settlements.

Rights are inherently universal. If you have a right to something, it's because everyone else does too. It also goes the other way. Something universal can over time become perceived as a right even if it didn't start as being seen as one.

This is why the U in Universal Basic Income is so important
