Sexual orientation question to appear on census for first time in 2026

  • I wish more people were mature enough to look at truth straight in the face.

  • Ah so stepping on kittens is the same thing as stepping on grass. Great logic…

  • This isn’t a zero-sum game you can help people and the animals at the same time. You wouldn’t be trying to divert attention from dog abuse so don’t do it with the fish.

    Please leave this thread and post articles about human suffering rather than attacking articles that advocate for the better treatment of the animals.

  • Apple every year with Intel Macs.

  • Some fishing magazines downplay what the fish experience before being murdered.

  • Hopefully they go straight into RISC-V!

  • He totally won’t mess up your settings. Pinky swear!

  • Looks like we have a new record!

  • The second most developed country in North America behind Denmark says otherwise.

  • Sonia was born in Edmonton in 1970, and raised in a family who believed democracy represented hope for a better world. Her father escaped from East Germany as a refugee in the 1950s. Her mother was a steadfast women’s rights activist and organizer in her community.

    As a single mom at university, Sonia ran a bookkeeping business to support her family. It wasn’t easy to balance being a mom, businesswoman, and student all at the same time, but public investments in childcare and other programs made all the difference. After graduation, she decided that teaching was the best way to support positive change in her community.

    In 2011, the BC government OKed a plan to dump toxic soil uphill from the source of drinking water in Sonia’s community of Shawnigan Lake. She brought her community together to protect their drinking water, and was elected as a Director for the Cowichan Valley Regional District. By 2017, they got the permit revoked. But Sonia wanted to do more for her community. She decided to run for MLA.

    Sonia was elected MLA for Cowichan Valley in 2017. That Spring, she helped negotiate the historic power-sharing agreement between the BC Greens and NDP that led to a cooperative government for three years. Over those three years, Sonia worked on early-childhood education and daycare, while creating stronger environmental protections, and addressing systemic racism and colonialism in government.

    In 2020, Sonia was elected leader of the BC Greens, just as overlapping crises like lack of affordable housing, a collapsing healthcare system, and extreme weather events were taking a particularly devastating toll on British Columbians.

    Sonia never planned to be a politician – just to be a force for good in the world. But in doing that, she was recognized as a leader who doesn’t give up until she delivers what she set out to do. After years of dedicated service and a groundbreaking win for the B.C. Greens in Cowichan Valley, Furstenau is returning to the place that shaped her early life and values and running for re-election in the 2024 election in Victoria-Beacon Hill.

    As MLA and leader of the BC Greens, Sonia is here for BC.

  • I’m glad we got Qubuz instead!

  • Watch Trump Cherry-pick this and say Canada is “full of drugs”

  • We need to shut down all the oil pumps in Fort St. John.

  • People in the Amazon rainforest belong in the bottom too!

  • Trump is putting America behind on every metric possible don’t follow him off the cliff.

  • No, most Ontarions did not vote for this, as 42.97% of the province voted for Doug Ford’s party, however the majority’s votes were trashed because of first-past-the-post being intentionally designed for only 2 players on the ballot.

    We need proportional representation now to avoid minority rule!
