Canadian labour leader pressured to resign for anti-Israel post
Fred Hahn, President of CUPE Ontario and a long-time supporter of Palestinian rights, has been slandered by pro-Israel groups and Canadian politicians as "antisemitic" following a post he made on social media criticizing the involvement of Israeli athletes who served in the Israeli army in the Paris Olympics.
Despite reiterating that his "intent was never to associate Jewish people with the violence enacted by the state of Israel," the CUPE National Executive Board has called for Hahn to resign from his position as VP.

Support Capital Pride in their solidarity with Palestine
On August 6, Capital Pride, the LGBTQ2S+ organization that organizes Ottawa's annual pride parade, released a statement expressing solidarity with Palestine.
Following their statement, Capital Pride was slandered by pro-Israel groups, who falsely claimed that the statement was exclusionary and antisemitic, making some in the community unwelcome.
Following their lead, the Liberal Party of Canada, the University of Ottawa, the Bank of Canada, and the Ottawa Hospital, among other institutions, have shamefully decided to withdraw their participation.

A massive thanks to Yair who took me and Sasha with his paramotor for free. Amazing experience! To be above the clouds in such an exposed way :D - this experience will stick with me for a very long time! videos.trom.tf/w/tzAsKoDKqhNKx…
Sometimes you come across some super nice people.... very happy!
We also took him and his daughter for a night with the telescope and they were amazed. We showed them the Orion nebula, the Moon, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. Quite a show! We had super interesting conversations. :)
Watch the video now! haha

Basic Income study: What was the effect of giving 1000 poor people in Texas and Illinois an extra $1000/month?
I'm not usually a fan of Sam Altman, but this is something cool he funded.
This study gave 1,000 people in Texas and Illinois $1,000/month over 3 years and collected large amounts of data on employment, health, housing, schooling, time use, entrepreneurship, and more.
The results are remarkable, a very strong argument for universal basic income.

A piece of "trivia" everyone should take note of about the Baltimore Francis Key Scott bridge collapse
I have long wondered how automatic windows replacing manual were ever approved for safety windows as they make the vehicle into a death trap if the electrical system fails
Six construction workers were drowned while taking a break in their vehicles when the bridge collapses. Two survived, one in serious condition when rescued The other....
"He survived because his window was manual. He was able to roll down the window and escape."

in reply to Roma • •Oh man so lucky! So Yair came to dive and got friends with Sasha in like a day. Told her to come fly with him the next day basically haha. Then we invited them at 6am to show them stuff with the telescope at the beach and while there he's like "Yah tomorrow come I'll take you too for a flight!". wow!
He is a very chill guy, and also kinda agrees with this way of thinking we have about our society. His family and kids also so nice and curious.
Sasha always attracts these sort of things hahaha
