On #WorldWaterDay , we are reminded that the global water crisis does not affect everyone equally.
Water for equality means safety, dignity & opportunity. When water flows close to home, women & girls can live, learn & lead without fear.
Where water flows, equality grows.

Our new report shows global food trade redistributes water in favor of wealthier populations.
Hidden water inequities in trade demand urgent action.

It's been just under 48 hours since Moody's reaffirmed Canada's Aaa credit rating, with STABLE outlook, following #Budget2024
Funny how nobody covers this.
Not 1 article I can find.
Not even in biz press @BNNBloomberg
But we get a daily diet of polls and punditry.

In a nutshell this is why a demagogue's message requires serious/sober reflection. There is a reason why constitutional traditions need protection. Equal rights are not toys that can be taken away by some squalid pol plundering our constitution. This is Canada. Equal means equal.

Public opinion in Canada supports an immediate ceasefire and the @CanadianPM says a military operation in Rafah would be "catastrophic" yet Canada continues to export "military goods" and Israel says an offensive in Rafah "will happen". More: pbicanada.org/2024/02/17/can… #CeasefireNow
