This is a BIG deal. I've emailed to ask for any info pertaining to where the standards might be housed, but not holding my breath.

The standards include items such as the design of containers that pull dangerous goods on railroads, and the testing for lead in gasoline. Flammibility of mattresses..

Just to clarify- the Caring Society has called on Canada to release funds for Ontario notwithstanding the terms of the Ontario Agreement which makes implementation conditional on Tribunal approval (without any changes). Fortunately, it is open to COO, NAN and Canada to amend those terms

when you take money out of your savings account to buy a car, that’s not your bank helping you. The same principle applies with any form of "government assistance", which is something we all pay into.

Does everybody remember the $6.2 billion wind farm project off of Connecticut? Remember when Trump said he would not approve a single wind turbine in the United States?

The judge said no. Project goes ahead.

This is really cool. Researchers used sound to ID several species of marine fish off the coast of BC.

This means that we might be able to use similar techniques for monitoring fish populations and communities, without needing to capture fish in the process. 🐠🐟🐡

"Won't you be my neighbor?"

We're learning what that means all over again.

And, as my people keep assuring you, rightly, this country will keep receiving the lesson until it is learned.
