“When you’re among young people, it’s hard for them to understand how long we’ve known all the basic facts about climate change,” said Rahmstorf, a scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research who has worked on the topic for 35 years. “Even when I started as a PhD student in the 1980s, it was very clear that our emissions were causing global warming and all the consequences it would have.”
The agency states that Canlab Research had been ‘selling unauthorized peptide drugs on various websites and promoting them with many unproven health claims.’
Under existing legislation, employers can terminate group benefit plans for employees aged 65 and older and those workers are shifted onto the province’s health-care plan.
Bold mine. Between her, Carney, and the CBC, she’s the only one making sense, representing Canadians, and speaking clearly. Don’t you love “Netflix tax?” There needs to be a study done on “carbon tax” and similar rhetorical terms. Framing something that only benefits everyday Canadians and asks billionaires to pay closer to their fair share as a silly tax that burdens everyday people is crazy-effective propaganda.
Even as fossil fuel corporations have record profits at their back, it is the federal government largely underwriting the expansion of oil and gas development, while removing barriers intended to protect the public interest and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Meanwhile, clean energy has landed as a viable, scalable alternative, suggesting Canada wants to become the wrong kind of energy superpower.
It’s disheartening to know that our provincial and federal governments are willing to prioritize finances and economic riches to develop the so-called Ring of Fire mining region and dedicate years of research, planning and organization to this development, yet spend little to no time in preparing for natural disasters that endanger the lives of the people who live in these same areas. Plenty of experts and spokespeople have pointed out that governments have not done enough over the past few years to prepare for forest fire emergencies or to properly address this danger.
Nearly a year after Air Canada flight attendants forced unpaid work in the airline industry onto the national agenda, the issue is once again at the centre of a brewing labour dispute.
Canada ranks near the bottom of OECD countries—28 out of 35—for its relatively low share of public health care spending compared to the private share of total health care spending
This legislation formalizes queue-jumping for those who can pay out of pocket or with private insurance for self-referred testing in order to jump to the front of the line for treatment. It is also a move designed to feed the for-profit health care industry and create a market for private health insurance products.
Ontario’s Progressive Conservative government insists it is improving communications with First Nations fleeing forest fires in the northwest, following heavy criticism last week. Chiefs, however, say little has changed.
I was interested in finding out why Ford signed such a good contract with Canadian autoworkers. What I found wasn’t what I expected. But I do think it we can have something like a win-win if the country brings in Chinese EVs. Look at the numbers in my article and tell me what you think—.
A US law enforcement officer made a typo when they noted a username involved in child luring. The incorrect username was traced to a Nova Scotia man, who was charged and found guilty, solely on the basis of the incorrect username.
No large political party has shown intention of electoral reform, and no large party ever will. The Liberals betrayed electoral reform. The BC NDP has abandoned efforts for PR. The Alberta NDP isn’t going to do shit.
Windscribe has told users its logging and privacy policies will not change under Canada’s Bill C-22, as the surveillance bill heads to the Senate this autumn.
A Canadian national interning at NATO’s strategic military headquarters in Belgium has been arrested on charges of spying for a foreign power and participating in a criminal organisation, Belgian authorities announced on Saturday.
To no one’s surprise, women and girls are disproportionately targeted, making image-based abuse not just a technology issue but a gendered form of violence rooted in misogyny and power. In fact, in Laura Bates’ book “The New Age of Sexism”, she cites research that says that of the 96% of deepfakes that are non-consensual sexually explicit images, 99% of those depict women. In fact, most of the apps, bots and websites that will create deepfake explicit images don’t even work on pictures of men.
The Assembly of First Nations Quebec-Labrador (AFNQL) has joined leaders of Indigenous communities in Alberta in defending treaty rights from a burgeoning separatism movement in that province.
Several Canadian organizations and civil society leaders have pushed back against Canada-Ecuador free trade talks and warn that a deal will threaten the environment and worsen a human rights crisis in the South American country.
