Changes to the tax system proposed by the Liberal government on July 18 are expected to be hotly debated when Parliament resumes sitting this week.
In late-2016, Reuters reported on "the systematic confiscation of land [in Myanmar] from farmers by the army and the placing... of that land in the hands of crony companies close to the military junta that ruled Myanmar for half a century."
The community group 'Friends of Waverly Uplands' says, "There will be a public meeting held by Dufferin Aggregates on Tuesday September 19 [at the Wyebridge Community Centre at 6:00 pm] in regards to protecting French's Hill, the recharge area for the Alliston Aquifer which supplies gold standard water to [the communities of Tiny, Springwater and Tay Township in southern Ontario]."
Council of Canadians chapters take action for social, economic and environmental justice.
The Council of Canadians has been opposing the tripling of the existing 63,000 barrel per day Enbridge Line 10 heavy crude pipeline since November 2015.
