Such a disturbing incident, I lived in Edmonton for several years and definitely experienced Islamophobia and racism in that city. There needs to be answers for this incident. My thoughts are with the family but especially his little children who witnessed this after Eid salah.

Happy International Women's Day! Today (and everyday) we recognize the contributions of women in the environmental sector. Over 38% of the environmental workforce is female, and we can't wait to see it continue to grow. Please enjoy this video highlighting a few of our women EPs!

Women are the backbone of the #foodsystem, but receive little, if any, recognition & support. Here's to the women feeding the world. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2023

We fought for it – and you stood with us
Now, it’s confirmed. Grocery CEOs including Galen Weston of Loblaws have been summoned before Parliament to testify about food prices.
It's happening on March 8.
I won’t take it easy on them.

As important as souvlaki might be, it would be wonderful if the "reimagined" Taste of the Danforth was a Eco-Friendly event here in #TorontoDanforth

No living thing should be subjected to the dangers of PFAS chemicals. We need strong, enforceable regulations to keep these cancer-causing toxins out of our water resources!

I can't stop thinking about how so many folks who seem to be acting out are likely just hungry. It's a sharp cruelty that hunger exists this way in this place. But there's more, wholesome food comes with nourishment, love & kindness...the invisible bits on the plate, you know?
