Posting this so I can pin it. I'm finding it helpful to share to help people understand the story of Palestine and why Israel wants that tiny strip of land they live on. Please watch, listen and share 🙏

Who knew? Dammed water is subject to NAFTA regulations
@avilewis
Under #NAFTA, when a river is dammed the water behind becomes a commodity subject to #NAFTA regulations, ie: no longer a sovereign resource.
@BCNDPCaucus was aware of this, yet proceeded with #SiteC regardless of criticism by @Harold_Steves @wendyholm @DavidSuzukiFDN

@ianhanomansing I know you understand the importance of language, nuance, framing, etc which is why I am so surprised at the topic for todays CCC
As a long time supporter of CBC, and regular listener to Cross Country Checkup, I am dismayed by this week's topic:

"51st State: A Cross-Border Conversation" with the question, "What do you think of Trump's comments about Canada becoming the 51st State?".
Anything that continues the conversation about Canada as the U.S ' 51st State is using language that accepts the concept as a possibility

Speaking as a woman, an elder, a teacher, someone with religious and spiritual responsibility, I urge you to consider the gravity of this upcoming election: consider character, integrity, a just economy, reproductive freedom, care in relation to climate and immigration issues.
the @BCGreens function very well as the conscience of parliament; watch the push back from those who object to being held accountable.
WTG Sonia!
Interesting article that barely touches the surface of what it was like having to deal with her behaviour. I expect many more stories will emerge in the weeks ahead. Sonia Furstenau's outburst at John Rustad guts her clout in negotiations with NDP vancouversun.com/opinion/col…

No crime in history has been so confessed to as it happened by its perpetrators.
This investigation into one Israeli battalion is a must-read exposé of a genocide.
Incredible work, as ever, at @DropSiteNews 👇

Japanese researchers discovered that SARS-CoV-2, carries an enzyme that can act against a cell’s innate defence mechanism against viruses making it more infectious than previous SARS and MERS causing viruses.
Good luck chasing that natural immunity y’all.

sigh
we're stuck in perpetual groundhog day
Dr. Bonnie Henry just now:
"If you've had covid recently, you've had a boost to your immunity. So that's a good thing."
No, Dr. Henry, getting covid is NEVER a good thing. It won't help or improve your immune system. Your immune system isn't a muscle, and covid isn't the flu.

🚨NEW: Pagers and walkie talkies expIoded across Lebanon in an attack widespread reporting has attributed to lsraeI.
Four children were kiIIed. Despite that, several prominent voices think it’s cool to laugh about it.
So it’s time to have a talk about dehumanization:

From "jokes" about white nationalism to linking to a far-right German politician to suggesting immigration should be cut by 95%: my story today is a look at the far-right content that keeps popping up in BC Conservatives' social media history. #bcpoli thetyee.ca/News/2024/09/25/T…
love the German response to #debatetrumpharris Germany is the one to follow for their success in converting to greener energy & they make that clear in their post below.
They also have a great sense of humor WRT 'THEY"RE EATING THE DOGS' lol
Like it or not: Germany’s energy system is fully operational, with more than 50% renewables. And we are shutting down – not building – coal & nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest. PS: We also don’t eat cats and dogs. #Debate2024
