This is just pointless and cruel
Mark Longo, who rescued an orphaned squirrel that became a social media star, describes how authorities raided his New York state animal sanctuary and seized the furry creature, along with a rescued racoon. Both animals were later euthanized.

Conservative Senators block bill that would ban live export of horses from Canada for slaughter in Japan
100 more horses going for slaughter in Japan from Canada's Edmonton International Airport. The horses came from Grover feedlot near Hanna, so besides the time and stress of being loaded onto the trucks and the 3+ hour drive to Edmonton, they now face the loading onto the plane here and then a grueling journey to Japan. All this without food, water and rest.
Bill C-355 banning live export, is stalled in the Senate, largely due to delaying tactics by several Conservative Senators (led by Senate Opposition Leader, Don Plett).

Copernicus Climate Bulletin
September 2024 was 1.54°C above the pre-industrial level globally, the second highest ever recorded (2023 was the highest). Note the graph shows year to date running average not individual months' records, which is a bit confusing.
September kept 2024 on track to be the warmest year on record, with the global average temperature anomaly for January-September 2024 0.71°C above the 1991-2020 average, which is 0.19°C warmer than the same period in 2023.

It was a hard-earned victory. Powerful fossil fuel lobbyism managed to have this paragraph removed from earlier drafts.

Two festivals in Edmonton Alberta Canada on Saturday
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.

yes, that is true. Still, due to first past the post we have a greatly distorted distribution of seats in parliament in comparison to the popular vote. The minority parties actually should have more seats and more clout.
