Urge Ottawa to support a green recovery - David Suzuki Foundation

Urge Ottawa to support a green recovery - David Suzuki Foundation:
We are facing a crisis unparalleled in recent history. Strangely, in a period when we are stressed, concerned and physically isolated, we also feel united and connected as never before. Let there be no doubt: we will get through this pandemic together. And, we will come out of it with more confidence in our capacity to meet the most daunting challenges together. The federal government’s response to the crisis has focused, necessarily, on limiting the virus’s spread and emergency economic measures. The government will also likely announce a package to jump-start economic recovery once the public health threat is under control.
We identified some great near-term projects to include in this package that can put people back to work, build our collective resilience and position us to respond to the biodiversity and climate crises. We have shared our recommendations with government.
Now we need your help to demonstrate public support for a green recovery by signing this petition now.  They say the darkest hour is just before the dawn. Let’s make sure the new day that follows is a greener one.

ACT NOW: Stop Site-C Dam Construction Amidst COVID-19 | Amnesty International Canada

ACT NOW: Stop Site-C Dam Construction Amidst COVID-19 | Amnesty International Canada

Call on BC authorities to take immediate action to close the construction on the Site C dam in response to government guidelines on COVID-19. 

Construction has been designated an essential service by provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry as of March 26, as part of a lengthy list of activities ordered to continue by Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth. 

Last week, both the community of Fort St. John and the Union of BC Indian Chiefs called for a stop to the ongoing construction of the Site C dam citing the threat to public safety and health caused by the 1,600-worker site.

Chief Roland Willson of West Moberly First Nation has told Amnesty, “we find it very irresponsible/unconscionable for them not to shut down." He highlights that continued work puts the whole of North East BC at extreme risk.

Dollarama respect pandemic rules and give workers protective gear

Dollarama respect pandemic rules and give workers protective gear
Hey, it's a Montreal company.  Shame.

DOLLARAMA has been deemed an essential service during this COVID-19 pandemic. 

But the multi-billion dollar company is refusing to provide workers with gloves and masks and many of the cashiers don’t even have a glass partition separating them from customers. 

Workers are endangering their lives for minimum wage.

Walmart, Loblaws and most major retailers equipped their workers with appropriate protective equipment weeks ago and provided them with an increased danger pay, to try to make up for the risks involved in showing up day-in and day-out for work. 

No worker should have to put their life on the line to put a roof over their head and DOLLARAMA stands alone in its industry in its complete disregard for its workers. Now is the perfect time to support frontline workers at DOLLARAMA who deserve danger pay and safe working conditions.

Here's a petition.
