The City of Winnipeg needs to look at areas like those surrounding Sturgeon Creek for re-wilding. Returning to native trees, grasses and plants will increase pollinator activity and natural pest controls. A local petition created by a long term resident of the Sturgeon Creek area chng.it/RGDjsGfGVC

What wonderful press we have in Canada. A search of all news outlets reporting Israel's interception of the 'Handala' carrying aid to Gaza as part of the Freedom Flotilla turned up the @thestar.com and @citynewstoronto.bsky.social . This happened over 15 hours ago and is reported around the world.

It's funny what we can and can't do when money is involved. The markets trump all, even life and death. And politicians wonder why they don't have moral legitimacy anymore.

Not so difficult that we have to stop sending arms to the perpetrators, that shit we can apparently handle just fine.

@mark-carney.bsky.social , Israel has again broken International Law and intercepted a foreign ship in international waters delivering needed aid to Gaza. When will this stop? Apparently your words carry no weight. Action might.
The 'Handala' has been intercepted by the israeli occupation forces (26 July - 2241 EEST).
Further details soon.

Here's an idea. Dem Governors & Mayors should be ordering their local law enforcement to arrest any & all unidentified and masked alleged ICE agents.
If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle, we'd call that a kidnapping.
Why not here?

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

Wow! Home of the Brave? Governed by laws? What law says it is legal to shoot an unarmed member if the press? How brave is this goon in shooting a female reporter?
Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen.
This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.
Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??
