Hello Canadians! I’m Emily, and I am participating in a scholarship competition run by Canadian Blood Services. I’m an active blood donor and advocate (currently the club president at my university!). I would love your help. I’m looking to recruit and have current donors join my team through the link. I would be more then happy to explain the process for registering to be a blood donor as well! Your donations save lives across Canada, and even if you aren’t interested in joining my team specifically I would still love it if you could look into becoming a blood or plasma donor. It’s only a bit of your time and will completely change another’s. The donation count on my team is from members across Canada, and currently you have all had over 100 donations completed during the summer which is absolutely incredible! Feel free to remove this as well, absolutely no hard feelings.

Camping Homesteading living redefined? @canada @canadaehx

more about what is a primary residence, thoughts on solutions for homelessness @canada

What is shelter? @canada@lemmy.ml is having an housing homeless crisis, real solutions as #Homelessness is an primal fear, the top three human fears that motivates much of our actions, the things we do just to retain our space primary residence is paramount. Yet, people been chucked on to the street in @Canada due to bad Government, failure of access to Justice. A good time to redefine shelter, living like @SittingBull in a Teepee, living indigenous is better for the planet?Primal Rights? @Neoliberal

Hi, I wanted to ask if somebody knew which exam is necessary in order for a foreign person to work in Canada. Specifically a software developer.

I've seen there are two kind of exams:

1. General IELTS exam
2. Academic IELTS exam

Do you know which one is needed?

This is about the weekly flyers. Canadian Tire has been close at hand all of my life, a reliable source for things we all need now and then. Today's CTC flyer set my teeth on edge and I resolved to immediately bin this bit of advertising noise from now on. On every page, every item has a big red number proclaiming how much I could save by purchasing the item now. I hate that. When I look at flyers, I want to see what the price is! But because there are hundreds of items in the flyer, it is takes considerable effort to focus and concentrate to find the ACTUAL price. To make it worse,the "Reg Price" is printed in a different, low contrast, colour, and much smaller size than the "SAVE" starburst. I can't help thinking that by emphasizing the (supposed) savings. Canadian Tire is trying to fool me. Well I won't be fooled, because I won't be reading it ever again. I must admit I will miss it for awhile. Probably a very short while.

NOT THE TREATS!!! Mayor Jeremy Levi says: "This isn't a movie scene. It's downtown Montreal, where the pro-Hamas group disrupts commerce for everyone, not just Jews."

"Val Plante, where's your courage to stop this madness?"

is this man on-par, or is he misinformed?

Israeli officials have reportedly refused to cooperate with a UN investigation into the allegations against UNRWA.

Canadian officials have still not seen any evidence backing up Israel’s allegations against Palestinians’ foremost aid agency despite being one of the first countries to suspend their funding to the group amid one of the most dire humanitarian crises in modern times.

Sources within the Canadian government say that Israel has not provided any evidence backing up claims made in an Israeli intelligence document which accused a dozen employees of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) of having an affiliation with Hamas forces, CBC reported Wednesday.

Recent reports have found that a six-page dossier that many countries have used as the basis for cutting off funding to the crucial agency does not back up the allegations, with multiple outlets across different countries reporting as such; Channel 4, in the U.K., reported that there is “no evidence to support” the claims. Sky News reported that even if the claims were true, they “do not directly implicate UNRWA.”

The agency swiftly fired several of the employees facing accusations last month, a decision that the agency made in reaction to the severity of the claims and not due to evidence of the allegations themselves.

Despite the lack of evidence, however, 16 countries have cut off funding to the agency, including its top two donors, the U.S. and Germany. Like U.S. officials, the Canadian government announced that it was suspending funding to the UNRWA just after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel to curtail its merciless military campaign in Gaza, which was already “plausibly” a genocide, the court said.
