Tell the Canadian government to commit to an Emissions Cap
Trudeau: release your Emissions Cap policy before New York Climate Week
I just signed the petition calling on Trudeau's Liberals to pass a bold Emissions Cap - will you join me? https://act.leadnow.ca/EmCap-Climate-Week/Leadnow.ca
On Tuesday Rafat and Nurs Abu Al-Kian, #Arab residents of the Negev with #Israel citizenship, made their way from their home to #Jerusalem, Dekal, Highway 60. Near the village of Khirbat Karma, soldiers stopped them and ordered them to get out of their vehicle while holding weapons to their heads, after which they were brutally beaten.

Rafat and Nurs shouted that they had blue ID cards, but the soldiers were not interested at any point. And when they asked to go from there to the Soroka hospital because they were wounded, one of the soldiers threatened that if they did so he would shoot them.
(The matter is under #IDF "investigation".)
We will not lie
The Alberta government tried to claim the electric utilities had asked for their idiotic and harmful moratorium on renewable energy, but the reverse was true.

The CEO Mark Law who pushed back has now been forced out.
Before this moratorium which was followed by severe restrictions on solar and wind, Alberta was leading the country in renewable energy.
โWe will not lieโ: senior officials pushed back against Alberta government requests
Documents show Albertaโs electricity grid operator felt pressured to make false statements about the pause on renewables, but refused to complyDrew Anderson (The Narwhal)

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.
Stand with Fred Hahn - Send a Message to CUPE Now!

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.

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.

Sam Altmanโs Basic Income Study โ What The Facts Actually Tell Us
Basic income ended poverty, with minimal impact on work beyond single parents. People took risks to find better jobs, retrain, and escape abuse.www.ubiworks.ca
I'm at big name pharmacy, asking for a quick covid test because I have symptoms. The pharmacist tells me almost nobody has had any for a while...
Not even if you pay for it... Just unavailable. She tells me they treat it like something you take Tylenol for so no tests...
Outrageous

Hey I found one place in a 10 km radius that *may have some! They close at 4pm, obviously, so can't go today... Will check it out tomorrow because, obviously, they are closed on Sundays :)

Restaurant workers demand tip protection
Tens of thousands of servers in restaurants and cafรฉs across Canada rely on tips to survive. Restaurant front-of-house staff are almost always paid minimum wage, and the extra 15 to 20 per cent can mean the difference between paying the rent or skimpโฆThe Media Co-op
