Fashion brands need to stop relying on coal to produce clothes
r33
Hi friend,
You wouldn’t think that health-conscious brands like The North Face, Lululemon, and Columbia would pollute the air with coal fumes, right? Unfortunately, these household names are doing exactly that because their supply chains are heavily reliant on coal power. So, as our beloved Lulu yoga pants, durable North Face jacket, and favourite Columbia windbreaker are produced, the stacks are spewing more and more deadly pollution into the air.

Action Dispatch
Paov --
The BC government released the sixth update to its Surgical Renewal
Plan last month, and we are concerned by what we see. We need your
help to respond!
Last June, with the release of the Surgical Renewal Plan, over 4000
of you wrote a letter to Minister of Health Adrian Dix. Together we
asked the government to be bold and implement already proven public
solutions that build the public capacity of our surgical system, now
and far into the future. Today, we are asking you to follow-up with
another letter telling Minister Dix you are still waiting for
investments in public, long-term solutions to reduce surgical wait
times. With your support, we can pressure the government to invest in
our public health care system.

Ontario’s Care Crisis /w Pat Armstrong
In this episode we continue our discussion of the crisis in long-term care homes in Ontario. This time we are joined by Dr. Pat Armstrong, Distinguished Research Professor in the Department of Sociology at York University. Dr. Armstrong’s career has focused on feminist political economy, healthcare and care work, and comparative social policy. She helps us unpack how commodification and privatization have led to Ontario’s current long-term care crisis, as well as provides illuminating examples of how these same politico-economic trends have been dealt with abroad.
