  1. Ann Widdecombe’s death should make Britain ask itself: what sort of political culture do we want? | Gaby Hinsliff
    By Gaby Hinsliff

    Dehumanising politicians is the first step towards justifying their elimination. It matters more than ever to keep putting the person back into the picture

    Petition to the Government of Canada
    Whereas:

    Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) plays a critical role in protecting Canadians through weather forecasting, severe weather warnings, climate monitoring and scientific research;

    Canada is experiencing increasingly frequent and severe weather and climate related events, including wildfires, floods, atmospheric rivers, hurricanes, heat waves, winter storms and derechos;

    Weather radar research, observation stations, Weatheradio services and frontline meteorological staff are essential public safety tools, particularly for rural, remote and Indigenous communities;

    Recent and proposed reductions to ECCC staffing, research capacity, and public weather services risk weakening Canada’s ability to predict, monitor, and respond to dangerous weather events;

    Reliable weather forecasting and climate science are vital to emergency preparedness, transportation safety, agriculture, marine operations and public confidence; and
    Canadians deserve a strong, modern and fully supported public weather service.

    We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to

    1. Reverse cuts to Environment and Climate Change Canada that impact weather forecasting, meteorological research and climate science;

    2. Restore and maintain Weatheradio and other accessible public alert systems;

    3. Protect and expand weather observation and climate monitoring stations across Canada;

    4. Ensure adequate staffing and long-term funding for ECCC programs, scientists, meteorologists and technical experts; and

    5. Recognize weather forecasting and climate monitoring as essential public safety infrastructure.

  8. #KeirStarmer #Starmer #UK #Politics #UKPol #Labour #English #England #British #Parliament #Democracy #HouseOfCommons #USA #Trump A video Trump and his followers might want to make note of. The political system in the UK isn’t perfect, and debates in the House of Commons can become pretty intense, but politicians clearly haven’t forgotten the meaning of the word “respect.” Unlike some of their counterparts in America.
    This is how British politicians say goodbye…
