According to Gaza's Government Media Office, more than 21,500 children, including 1,022 infants, have been killed since the war began on 7 October 2023, as the genocide reached its 1,000th day.

The office said the total Palestinian death toll has risen to 73,066, with 173,514 people injured and around 9,500 still missing under the rubble.

It also reported that over 90% of Gaza's buildings have been damaged or destroyed and that about 80% of the territory is under Israeli occupation.

Separately, UNICEF said more than 11,000 children have sustained life-changing injuries, including up to 4,000 amputations, many performed under extremely challenging medical conditions.

"When I left my home and my family
My mother said to me
'Son, it's not how many Germans you kill that counts
It's how many people you set free!'

So I packed my bags
Brushed my cap
Walked out into the world
Seventeen years old
Never kissed a girl

[...]

We never came back home
Train went north to the Taiga
We were stripped and marched in file
Up the great siberian road
For miles and miles and miles and miles
Dressed in stripes and tatters
In a gulag left to die
All because Comrade Stalin was scared that
We'd become too westernized!"

Onion ads are killing it rn

Remember when you vote for parties that support fossil fuels, you vote to kill other human beings who are just as smart, just as loving, just as loved, and just as important as you are.

Be the change you want to see and maybe other people won't vote to kill you one day.

"Prime Minister Carney’s plan to sell more oil overseas won’t make life more affordable at home. Instead of tackling the climate crisis and investing in the solutions of the future that Canadians need, he is doubling down on costly fossil fuel infrastructure that will only make life harder for Canadians."

Wow. Scott Burrows, CEO of Pembina Pipeline has sure been busy lobbying the federal government...

Throughout March, he was meeting with the feds on average two times per week.

His most recent report:

"...discussions regarding the government’s approach towards streamlining regulatory process as they related to large energy infrastructure projects and pipelines."

Getting elected because people hate the right-wing party, and immediately adopting the policies of the right-wing party, is a winning strategy! Just ask Keir Starmer!

I know it's so depressing to fight another pipeline, but if there's a loud enough movement we can force the federal government to pause this plan, like we did for planned changes to environmental assessment legislation.

MPs are aware there's a very unfavourable narrative about this government's record on environmental issues, and we need to make sure we keep up the pressure, including reminding them how voters in swing ridings feel.

Reminder: Even setting aside the huge negative impacts on our climate, pipelines are terrible economic policy. The last one the Liberal Party built, #TransMountain, will lose Canada billions; 20 years from now, it will still be billions in the red.

"The agreement with Alberta for governments to own the pipeline and to use taxpayer funds repeats the costly error of the TMX pipeline, which went massively over budget. People in Canada want Carney to come to his senses, to outright reject this fossil fuel agenda and to focus on renewables, affordable electricity and electrification"

1/ Today’s announcement shows what this federal government will protect above all else: the profits of Big Oil.

As we mark the five-year anniversary of a heat dome that killed 619 people in British Columbia – and as many communities across the country are facing extreme weather right now – Canadians deserve leadership that protects us. Instead, this government is doubling down on yesterday’s failed solutions and dragging us into further danger, risk and insecurity.

The opaque and confusing public-private partnership ownership structure means it's very likely that we, the public, will not only bear the risks and the damages, but also the lion's share of the costs.

This pipeline isn’t nation building.

It’s nation burning.

Today’s announcement breaks two promises that the federal and Alberta governments have repeatedly made to Canadians—that a pipeline would be privately financed, and would be contingent on oil sands companies reducing their emissions,” https://www.theenergymix.com/90-public-ownership-as-carney-smith-announce-new-pipeline-into-declining-global-oil-market/

"The #fossilfuel industry only wants this pipeline if it comes as a handout from our governments. But #Canadians, including #Albertans, do not want to pay for another pipeline – especially when the cost estimates range from $35 to $100 billion dollars. There are better things for our governments to do with that money." Time for all #Canadians to speak up. Lean on your MPs to rein in the banker and his #BigOil pals. https://environmentaldefence.ca/2026/07/03/statement-alberta-pipeline-proposal-will-be-a-failure/
