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.
