The US just announced $7 billion for residential solar projects for low-income households

Hey Canada, paying attention?

Nearly 300 bodies found in mass grave outside Gaza's Nasser hospital, according to civil defence workers. Some found with hands and feet tied - 'there were signs of field executions'. edition.cnn.com/2024/04/22/mid…

Independent report into #UNRWA finds what many have said from the beginning:

“Israel made public claims that a significant number of UNRWA employees are members of terrorist organisations. However, Israel has yet to provide supporting evidence of this.”

Shame on those who cut $

The Canadian government has said it will support the #ICC 's work in Palestine.

This is a massive shift, the first time that 🇨🇦 has ever supported any accountability process for atrocities committed in Palestine and Israel.

Antisemitism and attacking Jewish people for being Jewish isn’t pro-anything. It’s not pro-peace. It’s not pro-justice. It’s as intolerable as being anti-Islam and anti-Palestinian.

Stand out: Call out all forms of hate and all atrocities, no matter who commits them.

Happy Earth Day + my 54th year of celebration and protest! And GREEN letter day- John and my 5th wedding anniversary!

A dust bowl in southern AB, forest fires in northern AB, and it's only April 22nd... I'm not looking forward to this summer... #ABPoli #ABLeg

Yeah, that is simply abhorrent. You can criticize Israel and agitate for Palestinian freedom, but you simply cannot commend Hamas, and you cannot celebrate Oct. 7. And again, Jews in Canada are not responsible for Israel's government, and anti-Semitism is a cancer.

'Slap in the face': Canadians decry Ottawa’s new disability benefit canadianaffairs.news/2024/04/19/sla…

The biggest scam going is capitalists convincing everyone else we exist at their pleasure -- that if we piss them off even the tiniest bit our country, our world, will fall to pieces.

Joint Statement from National Disability Network’s Response to Budget 2024 myemail-api.constantcontact.com/Joint-Statemen…

Effective immediately, I have resigned from Minister Kamal Khera Disability Advisory Group. I am deeply disappointed in what #Budget2024 provided for the Canada Disability Benefit.

Read my full letter here.

Four years ago, twenty two people were killed and three others injured in a preventable tragedy largely due to the incompetence, sexism and racism within the RCMP. This devastating mass shooting, the worst in Canadian history, horrified Nova Scotians and all Canadians. 🧵

Je me demande ce que diront les conservateurs de Pierre Poilievre à propos des pétrolières qui viennent d’augmenter de 20 cents le litre d’essence cette nuit. Sachant que c’est 7 fois plus que la dernière hausse engendrée par la taxe carbone qu’ils critiquent depuis des semaines.

By the way, not that the new capital gains inclusion rate will lead to capital flight, but if it did it wouldn’t make the point its opponents think. It would reinforce the need to resist capitalists holding the us hostage and pulling up stakes when they don’t get their way.

Parfois, y a de belles nouvelles qui font sourire.

#Budget2024 misses the opportunity to deliver the serious climate & affordability investments we need.

Canada's budget falls far short of spending what it takes to address the climate crisis & lets big polluters off the hook. #cdnpoli

Our statement ➡️ climateactionnetwork.ca/civil-society-…

Actually, I can: this is worse than my worst case scenario.

Not only is it not enough, using the DTC will gatekeep the benefit from SOOOO many people.

My heart goes to the people living in poverty who will have to keep fighting everyday to survive.

Half of Canadians live paycheque-to-paycheque.

Half.

We're never going to reach housing (or any other sort of) affordability while that is true.
