The
seven-page report by the Military Police Criminal Intelligence Section,
“White Supremacy, Hate Groups, and Racism in the Canadian Armed
Forces,” examined the years 2013 to 2018.
It linked regular armed
forces members and reservists to six “hate groups”: Proud Boys,
Atomwaffen Division, La Meute, Hammerskins Nation, III% and Soldiers of
Odin.
New study finds ‘strikingly high’ rates of cancer in some Ontario industrial cities
Overall, Sarnia had about 1.5 times more cases of AML than the national average, but the frequency of cases was even higher in the north side of the city and neighbouring Village of Point Edward.
The province of Prince Edward Island was also identified as a hot spot.
“People want to think that they’re being protected, that the government is properly regulating industrial emissions and what this study is showing is that they’re not,” MacDonald, an environmental engineer, told Global News in an interview.
Dear Journalists of Canada: Start Reporting Climate Change as an Emergency | The Tyee
On May 6, the United Nations released
a scientific report warning that around a million species are
threatened with extinction due to human activity, including climate
change. But, according to an analysis by Media Matters for America,
on the day of that release, the nightly newscasts of ABC and NBC felt
it was more important that their audiences learned about the birth of
the newest Royal baby — someone who will likely never have any say over
their day-to-day lives. And I’ve found most of Canada’s 15 most-read
English language daily broadsheets felt the same way.

Between May 6 and 7, 13 of those newspapers
failed to front stories about the United Nations’ devastating finding.
Instead, the National Post ran a story about the Duke and Duchess of
Sussex’s son, with 10 others teasing that birth on their front pages.
Eight of the teasers were placed above-the-fold, next to a photograph,
or both — drawing reader attention to pictures of Harry, Meghan and
their beaming well-wishers.
UCP labour bill cuts minimum wage for minors, brings back union secret ballots
Between the youth pay cut and changes to banked overtime agreements, Notlety said Bill 2 amounts to nothing more than “a pick-your-pockets bill.”
She also called changes to holiday pay “pure Grinch politics,” and accused Kenney of allowing those who have a lot of money earn off the backs of those who have very little.
