Petition to keep Alberta in Canada is really close to collecting enough signatures, but we need to have a “comfort margin” in case some signatures get rejected.

PLEASE, continue signing the #ForeverCanadian petition!!!

Haven't heard a whiff of the Alaska floods except independent media and now al Jazeera

Al Jazeera English @aljazeera.com · 9d

One woman was killed and two others remain missing after the remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska.

The storm displaced more than 1,000 people, destroying homes and causing record flooding in remote coastal villages.

The devastating floods in Western Alaska are a stark reminder that climate change disproportionately impacts Indigenous communities despite them contributing the least to the crisis.

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities?

If your media isn't covering this, it's bc these are Indigenous communities.

Not meaning to be rude sorry if I came across that way. Just seeing Machado awarded it just doesn't feel much better though

Nor did anyone who has promoted peace. She has spent decades fostering violence in her own country and was part of the attempted Venezuelan coup in 2002. She cares far more about liberating corporate profits and making sure the rich can maximize profits than she cares for the average citizen

According to Indigenous Watchdog, work on 16 calls to action hasn’t started, 22 have stalled, 42 are in progress and 14 are complete.

Are the TRC calls to action be answered?

Charles Churchill (1732 – 1764) English poet and satirist would agree with you. In his Epistle to Hogarth.@ Line 291 he wrote
When fiction rises pleasing to the eye,
Men will believe, because they love the lie;
But truth herself, if clouded with a frown,
Must have some solemn proof to pass her down

Denis Diderot.(1713 – 1784) pointed out this about truth.

On avale a pleine gorgée le mensonge qui nous flatte, et Ton boit goûte a goûte une vérité qui nous est amère—

We swallow at one draught the lie that flatters us, and drink drop by drop the truth which is bitter to us.
