Today, I am reflecting on the bravery of the officers who heroically defended our Capitol on January 6, 2021, from violent insurrectionists sent by Trump. We must never forget the five officers, all Virginians, who lost their lives due to the attack. https://youtube.com/shorts/0PLaJH1SkuA?feature=share

Energy crisis coal switch increased emissions, illnesses and deaths across 6 countries #environment

Energy crisis coal switch increased emissions, illnesses and deaths across 6 countries
In addition to serious economic damage, the energy crisis of 2021/22 also had dramatic consequences for the environment and people's health. This is the conclusion reached by two researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) in a new study. Although the temporary switch from gas to coal for producing electricity was cheaper and contributed to securing the energy supply, in the six European countries featured in the study, it caused additional costs of around one billi…

Good Morning #Canada
2026 has been designated as the International Year of the Woman Farmer by the United Nations, in an effort to increase and improve food security across the planet. Once again we call upon the fairer sex to save humanity.
Women led farms are on the rise in Canada. From the 2021 #StatsCan report, there were 80,000 female farm operators, representing 30% of total farm operators, up from 25% in 1991. In general female participation is increasing while men are decreasing. Farming is an industry where women operators can achieve wage parity with male counterparts because compensation is based on market conditions, but currently most women led farms are smaller with less annual revenues.
A helpful #AI tells me a female farmer could could be called a farmerette, a farmeress, or farmHER. So helpful...
Two articles are linked - a feel good news piece from the CBC, and more solid demographic info from FCC-FAC.ca.
