Canada could use the money to fund public services and support the most vulnerable.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

What’s happening in Gaza is profoundly heartbreaking. It is unconscionable to deny aid to starving families. I thank @MarkJCarney for adding our voice to the international call for a two-state solution. We support Canada’s efforts to get aid flowing and a lasting peace.

Experts say the new Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) standard for banks helps “make clear that fossil fuel expansion is not compatible with transition-readiness”.

Both bills #BillC5 and Ford’s #Bill5 are egregious, and PM #MarkCarney is trying to ram through because he wants to appease right of centre voters. He is “right of centre.” When he states he’s nothing like PM Trudeau, believe him. Hopefully, my people shut this crap down & The Senate.🪶😡 #cdnpoli

Scientists warn against attempts to change definition of ‘forever chemicals’

Move to narrow classification of Pfas and weaken regulation is ‘politically and/or economically motivated’ A group of 20 internationally renowned scientists have issued a strong warning against attempts to narrow the definition of “forever chemicals” in what they describe as a politically or economically motivated effort to weaken regulation of the potentially harmful chemicals. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (Pfas) are a large group of synthetic chemicals used for their oil-, water- and stain-resistant properties in a range of consumer and industrial products from waterproof clothing and non-stick cookware to firefighting foams and electronics.
