Members of socially and economically marginalized groups in Montreal and Ottawa-Gatineau are at disproportionate risk in earthquakes, a new @mcgillu @McGill_Eng study has found. mcgill.ca/newsroom/channels/…

Over a thousand #CanadianHindus and allies united in front of Toronto City Hall showcasing our unity and resolve—we will not be silenced anymore. We demanded immediate and meaningful action from #CdnPoli to end the #HinduGenocideInBangladesh. CoHNA once again urges lawmakers to recognize the global #HinduPersecution and ensure the protection of #BangladeshiHindus.
WATCH: Massive crowds gather in NYC despite heavy rains, chanting “we want justice.” Calling for an end to violence and persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh and holding the perpetrators accountable immediately.
This has become a worldwide movement. Standing with Hindus in Bangladesh.

President of @CoHNACanada, Rishabh Sarswat, one of the organizers of today’s massive protest in Toronto against the religious violence against Hindus in Bangladesh.
He calls out the Ruling Liberal/NDP party for their failure to condemn the mobs of religious extremists r*ping & m*rdering Hindus in Bangladesh.

Thank you again @RepShriThanedar for continuing the engagement with @StateDept and @SecBlinken.
The key part of your letter below is relevant for @HouseForeignGOP @HouseForeign to follow up on urgently -
“When Congress returns from recess, we must hold hearings to learn more about the failures to protect the Hindus and other minority groups in Bangladesh, as well as how to prevent these horrific actions from taking place again in the future”.

Disasters discriminate! They disproportionately affect those most at risk.
#DRR policies and plans must consider the needs women, children, youth, persons with disabilities, poor people, migrants, indigenous peoples, and older persons. 👉 ow.ly/5gi550OJPeF

Canada needs its own emergency management agency like the US FEMA. It's ridiculous a province needs to formally request this support. Assistance should be ready on standby rather than wasting scarce resources and time begging for help.
