Mooniyaw@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•While Canadians Struggle, Energy Corporations Are Laughing All the Way to the Bank41·2 years agoAgreed, the level of concentration in grocery distribution is worse than the telecoms. At this point they need to be broken up and run as non-profits!
Mooniyaw@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•While Canadians Struggle, Energy Corporations Are Laughing All the Way to the Bank6·2 years agoSure, but do all Corporate sectors get dozens of billions in direct and indirect subsidies year after year?

Mooniyaw@lemmy.caOPto Green - An environmentalist community @lemmy.ml•Microplastic pollution: Plants could be the answer1·2 years agoOf course, we need government action! But do you know the micro plastic content coming from tap water? Do you have much of a choice as to what you are consuming? Wouldn’t you want to filter it out?
As far as technology, this isn’t pie in the sky, it seems fairly simple and I wouldn’t be surprised if home-made solar punk versions start appearing in zines and online forums.
Mooniyaw@lemmy.caOPto Green - An environmentalist community @lemmy.ml•Microplastic pollution: Plants could be the answer1·2 years agoOf course we need stop producing plastics, or at least the types that break down so easily.
But even then, the micro plastics will likely remain in the environment for some time, so efforts to filter them from water are important. Especially considering as some of the health effects are only starting to become apparent. See https://www.uri.edu/news/2023/08/microplastics-infiltrate-all-systems-of-body-cause-behavioral-changes/

Mooniyaw@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•CRTC reaches major milestone to make cellphone plans cheaper for Canadians3·2 years agoI tried to signup for Freedom but I could not retain my existing phone number since they didn’t offer services in my former area code. Hopefully this changes that, but yeah not holding my breath!
Mooniyaw@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•Government requests for Canadians’ Google data have jumped ten-fold in past five years1·2 years agoThey did the original reporting AFAICT, I seem to recall the whole article being free, but I understand they’re now paywalling :-(
I would go to the nearest CLSC, and ask to speak with a social worker (it’s usually by appointment). The SW should be able to direct you to appropriate resources for navigating the system. For example there is a Medicare program for lower income folks. Good luck!
