Far from meeting the expectations of #disability organizations – along with any of the scenarios presented by the PBO – the #GovernmentOfCanada has instead created a #CDB with a maximum annual support level of $2,400/person.
And despite widespread warnings about accessing the CDB through #DTC eligibility alone, the #Trudeau government has retained this #tax measure as the only way to qualify for the benefit.
In statement of claim filed before #ManitobaCourt of King's Bench on Tues, #Peguis — largest #FirstNation in Manitoba, seeks compensation for financial losses & other damages that occurred during a series of #floods along the Fisher River.
Tonight, I light up 4 white candles for my brothers/sisters who passed away, after spending almost their whole lives - trying to fight back against multiple #BCgovernment & multiple #GovernmentOfCanada abuses & exploitation & ongoing divide/conquer evil #colonialism.
If things keep going the way they are now - I'll be joining my now deceased fellow family of lifelong activitists. We know odds are stacked against us. We just can't live without trying to change what we can, while we're alive.
I recall govt spent tons of money in the 90s on pretty much exact same studies. Why are we paying to do it - again? This freaking govt 🤡
#Canada federal government announced Wednesday funding of more than $300,000 to examine how #gaming communities can potentially create environments conducive to #radicalization and violent #extremism.
The #Trudeau government has been working for almost a decade to address #SystemicRacism and #discrimination within the justice system and the numbers remain alarming.
Crown #IndigenousRelations Minister Gary Anandasangaree & #Matsqui First Nation Chief Alice McKay jointly announced the settlement, compensating for the federal government's taking of land in 1908 for #Vancouver Power Company right-of-way.
According to government data, the #CanadaBorderServicesAgency removed 7,232 people from the country in the first six months of this year, at a rate averaging 39 people a day.
(To remedy this issue, Goetz says the city has applied for money through the federal government’s #Disaster#Mitigation and Adaptation $Fund (#DMAF). He says an application was sent on July 2 of 2022, shortly after the fund re-opened after a 13-month closure due to lack of money.
Since then, Goetz says the city has received radio #silence from #Ottawa on its 165-page application.)
They're the same #CorporateMercenaries that I faced with fellow activists at 2 different protection camps. Our governments have given them millions to abuse badge power & violate international laws.
Under #SkyriseGreeneryIncentive Scheme, #Singapore pays #PropertyOwners up to 50% of the cost of installing #green rooftops & facades. This amounts to up to $200 a square meter for roofs & $500 a square meter for vertical plantings, according to the government.
The #greenery also reduces buildings' #CarbonFootprint & saves property owners on air conditioning & other energy costs. And the green buildings can attract tourists looking to patronize #ecofriendly businesses.
Our #BCgovernment & #GovernmentOfCanada could learn to make better decisions if they looked at Singapore's style of win-win incentives for property owners.
Anyone with more #BritishColumbia#GovernmentofCanada#legalities on this private medical clinic in #VictoriaBC that I was alerted about today?
Alerted by a friend who was told by her family physician that if she wanted to remain a patient that she needs to pay $1500 first.
That sounds illegal & in violation of federal health act.
Can anyone in BC please tell me more about legalities of this??
#Water pumped from deep underground helps #alfalfa grow at the Saudi-owned Fondomonte farm in the Butler Valley, in western Arizona
Saudi Arabia bans industrial scale farming of alfalfa, to protect its limited water supplies.
So they grow it in a #US desert and ship it back home, using AZ’s scarce water.
Perspective: The prior republican admin even blocked efforts to track the amount of water being used. #Arizona get saudi the fuck out. #natsec
