Last year, 1.4 million people visited the CNE. The garbage they left behind would normally take more than 1,000 years to break down in a landfill. Instead, 40 tonnes of it was transformed into soil and donated to an urban farm in Scarborough. 🌻 Marco Chown Oved has the dirt: trib.al/t7mkkaT

Something is wrong when tech companies are better at protecting our privacy than the government whose very job that is.

Another major online service provider says they may have to block Canadians from using VPN services if the federal Liberal majority government rams through the proposed Bill C-22 surveillance legislation. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/national/maj...

A new study found that adding animal images to menus increased the odds of choosing the vegetarian dish by 22%.

Since the Liberals promised a ban in 2021, 11,000 horses have been shipped to their deaths 💔 It's time to end this! Take action:

MPs @elizabethemay.bsky.social, John Nater, & @bencarrwpg.bsky.social have tabled petitions on behalf of their constituents demanding a ban on live horse exports for slaughter 🐴 Every day the Liberal government fails to keep its promise to end this practice, more horses suffer 💔 #CdnPoli

Children sing out at rally to save waterfront park threatened by Billy Bishop airport expansion

"The octopus on your plate can feel pain, delay gratification, and probably outthink a toddler. Just something to consider before you order."

Liberal MPs have been playing playing passive, coy & cagey w their real island airport feelings, but they’re deeply implicated - even making concrete expansion plans! I go thru some of them in my @thestar.com column today & why they owe Torontonians some honest loyalty. They could stop it today.

Diana would be an incredible representative of Parkdale—High Park, and an absolute FORCE on city council. i have looked to her personally and professionally for years on the issues that matter most to our city, and have the utmost faith she would bring that much needed POV to the role.

In an underground parking lot at Yonge and Davisville, a subterranean farm grows 12,000 heads of lettuce every month — all destined for high-end restaurants, food banks and soon a local farmer’s market.

💸 Money talks — so let’s talk about it! This week, we launched Who Pays?, a series about the links between the economy and environment in Canada. Read all about it in our latest newsletter: thenarwhal.ca/newsletter-i...

Fire in Seaton House men’s #shelter in #Toronto One with serious injuries and 95 ppl displaced. No media release or statement from the city that I can find. #homelessness #urban @oliviachow.bsky.social

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

A lobster hatchery for marine conservation. To be released ..and to be caught and consumed later? It is nearly as bad as breeding pheasants release them and shoot them. #StopFishing #BanLobsterFishing #StopEatingFish #StopEatingLobster #LiveVegan conserve all life 🙏

SHOCKING: Canada is now a top importer of endangered long-tailed macaques for lab experiments 🐒 In 2 years, we imported over 10,000—many suspected to be trafficked from the wild. This cruel industry is also a public health risk. Urge gov. action 👉 animaljustice.ca/monkey-trafficking #CdnPoli

#Opinion: Doug Ford’s latest power grab is another attack on democracy

President Trump directed the Department of Justice to investigate the nation’s largest meatpackers. But an @investigatemidwest.bsky.social analysis found that his administration had already slashed budgets and staffing for the offices responsible for protecting farmers and consumers.

Meat comes from suffering animals.

In case you missed it before the long weekend, on Thursday we published this piece by @fatimabsyed.bsky.social delving into the Ford government's plans to speed up mining development, and how different groups affected by that plan are feeling about it. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-1p1p...

Baby calf victims in wooden crates 😱Thousands of them all waste calves from the #dairy industry. Marginalized migrant workers are there only for the money. They don’t give a shit. Their bosses are the real criminals. #DairyIsScary #DitchDairy #GoPlantbased 🙏

1/2 The chickens ‘harvester’ 😱👺 From birth till death chickens are on and off conveyor belts. This ‘method’ is if compared with traditional loading chicken from a shed called more ‘animal friendly’. #EndAnimalExploitation #LiveVegan animal welfare will not save them ✌️

In Morris, Minnesota, Riverview hopes to build the biggest dairy and feedlot in state history. Residents and environmental groups say it could strain regional water resources and worsen pollution. @epayne.bsky.social reports:

State troopers cited concerns about animal rights activists as justification for blocking journalists from livestock crash sites.

BREAKING: The Canada Pension Plan, other Canadian public pensions, and banks attempt to profit from sinking $35 billion into ICE contractors ‼️ 🧵 #GreenSky

"Spending on the welfare state is spending on a promise to take care of one another, the sort of thing many Canadians believe a country exists for in the first place." Yes. A society progresses only when its' lowest members are lifted up.

Canada is complicit in #Iditarod cruelty 🐶 It's estimated that more than 150 dogs have died in this cruel race. Off-season, in Canada & abroad, most of these dogs suffer chained outside in poor conditions. This deadly event must be shut down. #Iditarod2026 #EndTheIditarod

It’s been 8 years since award-winning filmmaker Fern Levitt stood at the #Iditarod start line in protest of "The Last Great Race." Now, as the 54th annual race kicks off, her insights into the industry’s dark side are more relevant than ever 👇 #Iditarod2026

Are you avoiding tofu and soy milk over false fears these foods can mess up your hormones? You might already be eating more soy than you think, but here’s why there’s nothing wrong with that.

By this kind of ‘training’ these young animals probably turn into horrible fighting machines and not into social companions. #LiveVegan don’t use and abuse animals 🙏📍 #USA k9_patterdale on TikTok

It’s been an emotional morning. Jesse Jackson died today. This poem he recited to these children on Sesame Street in 1973 was what America was striving towards. We can get there again. We are all somebody. #JesseJackson #ProudBlue

Good children’s book to read out or for first readers 4-10 years old. It gives an honest look at the dairy industry. No happy cows. Just how it is. #LiveVegan 💚
