Whenever somebody tells me I am occupying the unceded land belonging to this, that, or another group of Indigenous people, I confess, the information quickly recedes from my memory. Many other Canadians have likely experienced something similar. Despite the prevalence of Indigenous land acknowledgements these days, most people probably cannot say whose land they are allegedly occupying. According to a recent poll, only 25 per cent of Canadians believe they live on unceded Indigenous territory. Still, there is more agreement than disagreement that politicians should make regular land acknowledgements. But why? Do land acknowledgements impart any useful knowledge?

Co-host Joy Behar said, “I’m going to throw my question out and ask you, what about climate change? What are we doing about this?

Are you guys going to fix that or at least contribute to fixing it?”

The Senate Bill C-10 debate wrapped up yesterday with several speeches and a vote to send the bill to committee for further study. Given that the Senate declined to approve summer hearings for the bill, the earliest possible time for the study to begin is the week of September 20th. If there is a late summer/early fall election as most observers expect, Bill C-10 will die. Without an election, Bill C-10 will be back for Senate hearings in the fall with many Senators emphasizing the need for a comprehensive study that features the myriad of perspectives that were excluded from the failed House review.

In an appearance on CNN’s Don Lemon on Tuesday night, Dr Anthony Fauci said he is ‘very concerned about’ seeing the country split in two – one half where the majority of residents are vaccinated against COVID-19 and the other half where they are not immunized, leading to a rise in cases.
Radical academics want to handicap black students by foisting upon them an underclass patois that the professors themselves would never employ in public. The idiom the radicals used to make their case? Proper English.

Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said that by 2035, all new cars and light-duty trucks sold in the country will be zero-emission vehicles.

Five Asian countries account for 80% of new coal power investment
Five Asian countries are jeopardising global climate ambitions by investing in 80% of the world’s planned new coal plants, according to a report.
Carbon Tracker, a financial thinktank, has found that China, India, Indonesia, Japan and Vietnam plan to build more than 600 coal power units, even though renewable energy is cheaper than most new coal plants.
The investments in one of the most environmentally damaging sources of energy could generate a total of 300 gigawatts of energy – enough to power the UK more than three times over – despite calls from climate experts at the UN for all new coal plants to be cancelled.
