Hey, I'm glad to hear you're concerned about the welfare of the Uyghur populations living in the Chinese Government's concentration camps. So am I. The difference between the apartheids/genocides being inflicted on the Uyghurs and the Palestinians though is that the last 3.5 months have seen most traditional Western media outlets (implicitly) condone the apartheid/genocide of Palestinians. That whitewashing and propaganda is a call to action for anyone concerned about truth, human rights, democracy, international law, etc.
May I suggest that instead of investing time nitpicking those fighting for human rights in Gaza, you join the fight for human rights in Northwest China. May your compassion and interest in world events be a source of positivity
You may be right, but things have changed a lot in 3.5 months, and I hope there's more change to come. The West was blindly supportive of Israel in October (and blindly intolerant of anyone who criticized Israel). Biden's tone with Netanyahu has changed. I don't know what's to come, but I'm hoping for some justice. Let's get it started in the International Court of Justice!
And this is the most disgusting thing I've read today. The world's moving in a great direction /s
I hope as a country we're better prepared next year than we were this year passed with record Canadian wildfires. Based on weather patterns (e.g., mild winter, many fires still blazing), I think we'll have just as bad of a year of forest fires this summer unfortunately. I think we need to a culture change to act as if we're in drought conditions going forward. There needs to be more public education about fire safety, there might be a way to improve reporting (like a hotline the person in this news story could have called if/when they realized things were out of control), and I think we need a lot more actual firefighting assets. I think it might make sense to proactively re-allocate military resources to forest firefighting, perhaps as a pilot project this spring
Mature and old-growth forests, with larger trees than younger forests, play an outsized role in accumulating carbon and keeping it out of the atmosphere. These forests are especially resistant to wildfires and other natural disturbances as the climate warms.
Clearly you're not familiar with the term moral imperative
YW! BTW, the report does a good job showing how actual and potential work-from-home rates vary a lot by industry, education, earnings, and urban/rural
Must every discussion about housing availability in Canada be centred (exclusively) on immigration as if it's the only factor driving inaccessibility? Such reductionism is not helping those on the brink of poverty or losing their homes here in Canada. However, it does help shift attention away from corporate landlords, their accomplices, and anyone else profiting off of the current situation
I respectfully disagree. It should not matter whether or not he is Arab
