42% of wildfire evacuations occur in Indigenous communities, researcher

While wildfire season and evacuation alerts have become par for the course for many communities across Canada, for Indigenous people its far too frequent.

“It’s a really disproportionate impact when Indigenous people only make up 5 per cent of the population in Canada but 42 per cent of wildfire evacuation events occur in their communities,” said Amy Cardinal Christianson, a Métis fire research scientist. “A lot of that is because of where Indigenous communities are located.”

If paper straws are bad for the planet, what else aren’t they telling us?

Last weekend I hoped to give my daughter one of the formative experiences of any British childhood: her first Capri Sun. The orange squash, packed in a space-age foil pouch, has been a feature of lunch boxes for more than 50 years. As she looked on expectantly, I took the straw from the side of the packet and went to pierce the hole with the sharp end.

Media giant Gannett sued by workers over ‘reverse racism’ policy that boosts women and minorities over others

A group of current and former employees of Gannet is suing the media giant, saying they were fired or lost out on promotions to make room for less-qualified women and minorities.

The five staffers say they suffered from the firm’s diversity hiring policy, which was introduced in 2020 to get newsrooms looking more like the communities they served within five years.

It’s the latest in a series of lawsuits and actions to take aim at ‘reverse racism’ in corporate America.

Guilbeault heeds call to kiss Xi Jinping’s ass brushes off opposition calls to cancel China climate trip

Steven Guilbeault Enjoys Kissing Xi Jinpings Ass

Canada’s environment minister travels to China today to attend diplomatic meetings with an international group that advises Beijing on climate change — and he’s ignoring opposition calls for him to quit the group and call out China over human rights abuses and alleged interference in Canadian elections.

Steven Guilbeault is attending the annual general meeting of the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED), along with representatives of the United Nations, from Aug. 28 to 30 in Beijing.

In an interview with CBC News before his departure, Guilbeault stopped short of committing to bringing up China’s interference in Canadian democracy and its human rights record during his trip.

Give credit to to the ChiComs they own the Liberal Party. No other nation runs cover for China’s greenscam better than Canada thanks to the Liberal party.

The housing crisis in Canada is getting desperate. Prices for purchases and rentals are skyrocketing across the country and it’s becoming a hot political issue.
