  • Israel spends more per capita on defense than the US.

    Tbf Israel is surrounded by a few countries who would find great joy in annihilating her.

    America is bordered by a big happy face to the north, and in the south a large tortilla.

    Jump

  • The true total of officers in England and Wales under investigation for such offences will be far higher, because only 28 out of 43 forces responded to FoI requests.

  • I've added the previous paragraph.

    If you need more info please read the article.

    In one raid in Burton-upon-Trent, over £300 worth of banned confectionary was found in a local corner shop.

    They included Jolly Ranchers hard sweets containing mineral oil, which if contaminated with other compounds can initiate cancer formations.

  • The UK doesn't deem them safe for human consumption tho, because they err on the side of caution instead of allowing big oil and/or corps to do what they want.

  • Jolly Ranchers hard candy has mineral oil in them.

    Most often, mineral oil is a liquid obtained from refining crude oil to make gasoline and other petroleum products ... like a liquid version of petroleum jelly. Source

    And America allows companies to sell this shit.

  • Calgary traffic reporter goes viral after response to body shaming comment

    Jump

  • It is a quote from the sister of Giulia Cecchettin, an Italian woman who was murdered by her ex 3 weeks ago.

    “It is often said ‘not all men.’ “They are not all men, but they are always men” (she) wrote. “No man is good if he does nothing to dismantle the society that privileges him so much. It is the responsibility of men in this patriarchal society, given their privileges and power, to educate and call out friends and colleagues as soon as they hear the slightest hint of sexist violence. Tell it to that friend who controls his girlfriend, tell it to that colleague who engages in street harassment, harass those behaviors accepted by society, which are nothing more than the prelude to femicide.”

  • If you read the article it states that her husband was deported back to Mexico, so it's her and 6 kids.

    You also don't know if she lives in a food desert where a single grocery store could charge whatever prices it wants because there's no competition.

  • #DrugFraud could give a shit about Ontarians. He only cares about the rich people who donate big bucks, so he serves their interests.

  • Scientists issue warning against commercial tree-planting schemes: ‘We should shift focus’

    Jump

  • Because natural forests are never a monoculture. In replanted areas it is always a monoculture, and that leads to massive problems with infestations (ie: the mountain pine beetle in BC) that kills thousands of hectares of forests, that leads to the massive fire season Canada had last year.

    Adding to that is the fact deciduous trees act as a firebrake between pine/spruce, limiting forest fires.

  • You're right ofc. But almost every radical change in the world has come from revolution, because rich powerful people don't listen to, or even see, the struggles the people face.
