Read this devastating thread about #ChildLoss due to DIPG (brainstem tumour of childhood). But - please know - doctors care. When we don’t do something it’s often because we can’t - medicine cannot cure many cancers. Would we want to save every child? Unequivocally yes. I

HUGE NEWS: 7 youth who took the Ford gov't to court — arguing axing cap+trade violated Charter rights — have won their appeal. Judges said Ontario's failure to reduce emissions was "contributing to an increase in the risk of death & in the risks disproportionately faced by" youth

A UK judge sentenced 5 climate activists to 21 years in jail for *planning* to block a London road to demand climate action. What should Big Oil CEOs get for this?

“20,000 missing children in Gaza — some maimed beyond recognition. On top of the 17,000 killed in 12 months. We call it genocide because it is genocide.” —UN Special Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese

40% of global shipping is simply about carrying oil, gas and coal around, to burn them and then do the same again A world without or with little fossil fuels has an enormously lighter footprint on Earth - starting with zero need for 40% of the shipping infrastructure #climate

The workers killed included many Nepalis, so many young men leave to send money home and never return from Saudi Arabia.

The number of people experiencing homelessness in Edmonton *has increased by nearly 2,000 in the past year* up to 4,697 in September. Clearly the Alberta government's approach to homelessness is not working. #yeg #ableg
