A Canada Council for the Arts survey goes horribly wrong…
Speaking only for myself as an indigenous, trans-female living in urban BC I found my experiences with the BC health services to be completely absent of discrimination racism. I don’t believe “anti-racism” or indigenous only training to be necessary. Not at all.

Update: My apologies, I didn’t realize you had to have a Twitter account to vote on this. I’ll leave it up for those who do.
The Migrant Workers Alliance for Change sent a letter last month to the federal government demanding permanent resident status for all international students currently in Canada.
Do you think PR status for international students is a good idea?

The Friends of the CBC want to hear from you. You’ll get an email and request for donation. Just flag it as junk.

Click on the image to go to the poll. The “less” vote is already leading by a wide margin, but in this there’s no such thing as too much going wrong. (h/t Other Stan)
Update — it appears the poll closed a few hours early. Funny, that.
A poll at the Lethbridge Herald that needs a little love: Do you agree with the call for Canada to cut its greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030?
Oops.
Do you want more Supreme Court justices like Ruth Bader Ginsburg or do you want more justices like Brett Kavanaugh?

Update…
But first, this message from the poll sponsors;
A large group of Canadian climate scientists, environment advocates, business owners and corporate executives want climate change to be the No. 1 issue for voters this fall, including problems and solutions beyond the federal carbon tax.
A hundred of them signed an open letter to Canadians this week, urging them to understand the impacts of climate change and the solutions each party offers before casting their ballots in October.
Those behind the letter fear important discussions about climate change are being lost in the sea of political rhetoric for or against a national carbon price.
“It’s a national emergency,” said Gavin Pitchford, the CEO of recruiting firm Delta Management and executive director of Clean50.

Update: Harmless. All of the devices carried a parody ISIS flag featuring comedian Larry the Cable Guy’s signature slogan, “git ‘er done,” NBC News reported late Wednesday.
Er.. yeah.
I’m not sure this event rises to the level of hoax, much less false flag. I’m leaning towards “prank”, myself.
CTV Toronto: Do you support a reduction in the number of Toronto councillors?
Politicians and media hardest hit.
Har,
Do you agree with Saskatchewan taking the federal government to court over the carbon tax?
At time of posting, just 12 votes… 9 in favour.
A slam-dunk, about to get slam-dunkier : Is the federal government doing enough to resolve the pipeline dispute between Alberta and B.C.?
