Where do I even begin? I'm appalled. The Canadian government living up to its roots in colonial-settler violence... this is beyond criminal. Contact your MP's. This erasure and anti-Palestinian racism is unacceptable.

🇵🇸🇨🇦 The vandalism of a landmark Palestinian flag street art in Montreal by Zionists is a despicable act. However, the resilience of Palestinian youth, who are restoring it to its former glory, is inspiring. This reaffirms the unwavering commitment to the cause of a Free Palestine.

yo Canadians!

Do you think the price of shit is too damn expensive? Do you think that disabled people should get better help with the cost of living?

Behold: This petition

This petition is calling for a CERB-type payment for disabled people ("DERB") to help them bridge the gap while the govt works on creating a better disability assistance system - currently planned for 2025 (but it has been delayed before, so we shall see...)

Disability income ranges greatly from province to province, but it's always WELL below the poverty line. The way things are, disability payments are so pathetic that none are sufficient enough to cover even the cost of rent. This year, barely any are sufficient enough to cover even HALF the rent... so, roommates? Not a solution anymore.

Where I live, the assistance my partner got was $850 a month in 2017. This year, had they still been on it, they would have gotten $950.

The average rent here in 2017 - $900/mo

The average rent here in 2023 - $1800/mo

It's rough out there.

Anyway, thanks for reading this, here's a pic of my cat Bean :) Hreef.

Non-Canadians feel free to reblog for traction.

Premier David Eby says in a joint statement with representatives of the firms Meta, TikTok, X and Snap that they will form an online safety action table, where they’ll discuss “tangible steps” towards protecting people from online harms.

Eby says the social media companies have “agreed to work collaboratively” with the province on preventing harm, while Meta will also commit to working with B.C’s emergency management officials to help amplify official information during natural disasters and other events.

“We have had assurance from Facebook on a couple of things. First, that they will work with us to deliver emergency information to British Columbia in this wildfire season that (people) can rely on, they can find easily, and that will link into official government channels to distribute information quickly and effectively,” Eby said at a Tuesday press conference.

“This is a major step and I’m very appreciative that we are in this place now.” [...]
