How many units will meet a definition of affordable that is endorsed by social agencies?

A very wise activist! Straight out of the Otpor handbook! (And since it worked to take down Milosevic, that's a good sign)

It would be interesting to hear how many numbers people had memorized.
I can only think of about 10 that I could do without looking it up, but I was not very social and avoided using the phone when possible.

More Than 200 Bodies Dug Out of the Gaza Rubble Since Ceasefire Went Into Effect - News From Antiwar.com Rescue workers in Gaza have recovered more than 200 bodies of Palestinians killed by the IDF from the rubble and from areas they were previously unable to access since the ceasefire went into effect o...

Food banks are a sign of government failure to rein in price gouging specifically and income inequality generally among other things. We need to stop praising politicians for visiting food banks and instead shaming them that food banks are even needed at all.

Could you spell out the investments you are making in clean energy infrastructure? And contextualize the amounts by also explaining how much you invest in fossil fuel extraction, both through direct investment and hidden subsidies? I'm having a really hard time taking this seriously. Facts needed.

Eating the pumpkins is of course also an excellent (the best?) option but many folks reject that for a variety of reasons.

I love the suggestion for churches to have a pumpkin collection event for those without ready compost options. It also has the potential to be outreach event where a local congregation offers a free service for the good of the wider community. Who knows what connections might arise.

My city does not have municipal compost collection but the Green Action Centre (which runs a compost collection social enterprise) has a pumpkin smashing event every year after Halloween so folks can bring their pumpkins. It's fun (drop pumpkin from a height into collection bin) and ecofriendly.

a) what about the 100s of Palestinian hostages in administrative detention?
b) "One of the biggest sticking points has been pressure on Hamas to disarm."? How about Israel's unwillingness to stand by any commitment it makes and violating every ceasefire deal within minutes of making it?

The 6 Canadians travelling on The Conscience with the flotilla to Gaza must be immediately released. These brave Canadians have been abducted illegally from international waters by Israeli forces.

"Members of the Manitoba Legislature from all parties voted unanimously in favour"! Wow. there is some still some honour in politics.

You legislated Canada Post back to work and are supporting the management side? How is that standing up for workers?

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity - BBC News Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

"Solar ... is now so cheap that large markets for solar can emerge in a country in the space of a single year."

Another historic milestone for the energy transition, which is doing things seemingly daily that I was told quite often until quite recently were impossible www.bbc.com/news/article...

Right, because if it comes down to a military match between Canada and the USA, we have a snowball's chance in hell of winning? Especially if our fighter jets are controlled by AI based in the Pentagon.

Without air to breathe or stable weather that isn't destroying our homes, it doesn't really matter who is in charge.

Canadians did not vote for increased military spending. How about increased climate change mitigation and response spending instead?

Cars, not just drivers, are inefficient and dangerous. Instead of making better cars, we need to make better public transportation and better active transit infrastructure so people have the choice to opt out of cars entirely.

We have learned nothing at all if our remembrance of the past genocide Canada perpetuated does not call us to end our complicity in the genocide of Palestinian people currently taking place.

Every child matters. Including Palestinian children. Our remembrance of the past genocide Canada perpetuated is not worth much if we don't end our complicity in the genocide of Palestinian people currently taking place.

"Meaningful action": like using your power as minister of the environment to sign the Global Plastics Treaty and then forcing industry to stop foisting so much unnecessary single use plastic on consumers?

Indeed: every child matters. Including Palestinian children. Our remembrance of the past genocide Canada perpetuated is not worth much if we don't end our complicity in the genocide of Palestinian people currently taking place.

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

The question is: who stayed?

Are you read to lead at the UN the same way you are ready to take action against Israel if it doesn't heed the warning you gave in May? That is, not at all? I guess so, since Canada is ~140 in line when it comes to recognizing Palestinian statehood. That's not leadership.

As citizens, do we have any power to influence or lobby for who should be on this task force? I vote for @parismarx.com for one.

Canada won’t meet its 2030 climate target. Now what? It's clear that Canada cannot hit its 2030 climate target that it set under the Paris Agreement. Now what?

As Canada faces worsening climate-fuelled disasters, it’s also set to miss its 2030 emissions target. Clear policy signals from governments are needed to drive the country back on track. Read more ⬇️ climateinstitute.ca/canada-wont-...

I like the direction of your snark. However, even in jest, let's acknowledge people with autism are not a problem that needs to be banished; they are people with a variety of needs that require creative adaptations and different resourcing.
