"... the Court of Appeal has ruled unfavorably in the lawsuit concerning the use of calves and steers for entertainment purposes at the St-Tite Western Festival. This decision represents a setback for the protection of animals in Quebec..."

Press release, August 22, 2024 - DAQ is exploring all available options to combat animal abuse at the St-Tite Western Festival

It is with deep disappointment that DAQ announces that the Court of Appeal has ruled unfavorably in the lawsuit concerning the use of calves and steers for entertainment purposes at the St-Tite Western Festival. This decision represents a setback for the protection of animals in Quebec, but we remain committed to continuing our fight for their protection.

Many citizens have expressed serious concerns about the new legal status of animal beings, which prohibits mistreatment that could cause injury or death. We remind you that many serious injuries and deaths (in 2008, 2017 and 2024) have already occurred at the St-Tite Western Festival, all for entertainment purposes.

The DAQ is looking at all available options, including alternative ways to advance this cause. We also call for continued community and stakeholder support to help us overcome this challenge.

We thank our lawyers, Trudel Johnston & Lespérance, partners, professionals, citizens, volunteers and all those who have supported us throughout this process. Their commitment and support are essential to our mission.

MVPE position on affordable housing everyone finds Airbnb a hinderance.

Rents have reached unaffordable levels and as a result homelessness in cities like Ville de Montréal has risen to alarming levels.
What role does Airbnb play?
Asking Bing AI:
There are several arguments that people make in favor of banning Airbnb. Here are some of the most common ones:

1. **Rising Housing Costs**: One of the primary arguments is that Airbnb and other short-term rental platforms contribute to rising housing costs. By converting long-term rental properties into short-term rentals, the supply of available housing decreases, leading to higher rents and property prices¹².

2. **Impact on Local Communities**: Short-term rentals can disrupt local communities. They can lead to increased noise, traffic, and other nuisances, which can negatively impact the quality of life for permanent residents².

3. **Unfair Competition with Hotels**: Airbnb is often seen as unfair competition for traditional hotels. Hotels are subject to strict regulations and taxes, while many Airbnb hosts operate without the same level of oversight, giving them an unfair advantage²⁴.

4. **Loss of Tax Revenue**: Cities may lose significant tax revenue due to the proliferation of short-term rentals. Traditional hotels contribute to local economies through taxes, while many short-term rentals do not³.

5. **Reduced Residential Development**: Restricting Airbnb rentals can lead to less investment in residential development. When demand for Airbnbs increases, people invest more in developing residential properties. Restricting Airbnbs can lead to less growth in home prices and less tax revenue for cities³.

These arguments highlight the potential negative impacts of Airbnb on housing markets, local communities, and traditional businesses. What are your thoughts on this issue?

VICTOIRE! 👏💚 Les Aînées pour le climat Suisse ont intenté une action contre la Suisse pour violation des droits de l'homme en raison de l'absence d'objectifs climatiques suffisants. Elles ont remporté hier une victoire historique devant la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme 👵🧓👩‍🦳

La coprésidente des Aînées pour le climat Suisse, Rosmarie Wydler-Wälti, a déclaré : "Ce jugement n'est pas seulement une victoire pour les Aînées pour le climat. Notre victoire est celle de toutes les générations. […] La présence des jeunes dans la salle d'audience a montré aux juges les visages des droits humains de demain."

C'est un moment historique pour la protection du climat et les droits humains!

"Trans Kids Belong

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith recently outlined a series of policies that target the safety, health and human rights of trans and gender-diverse individuals and their families. These policies attack access to healthcare, education and sports.

This is a critical moment to speak out against these proposed policies that pose a dire threat to the health and wellbeing of trans and gender-diverse youth in Alberta.

At Lush, we stand against any attempts to silence or erase the trans and gender-diverse community, working alongside Trans Action Alberta and ensuring all our shops across Canada proudly state that Trans Kids Belong.

Join us to stand with trans youth everywhere and send a message to Premier Danielle Smith, demanding that these policies be retracted, by clicking here:

“Après des décennies de suprématie dans le cœur des consommateurs, le yaourt au lait de vache devient "has been". Les ménagères du monde entier se tournent désormais de plus en plus vers le lait végétal.

Le groupe Danone a bien analysé cette tendance. Pour suivre ces nouvelles habitudes de consommation, il a investi 43 millions d'euros dans son usine de Villecomtal-sur-Arros (Gers). Ici, deux ans de travaux ont été nécessaires pour transformer la chaîne de production de yaourts en usine de fabrication de lait d'avoine.”

"Ce jour-là, en 1995, Jill Phipps, ancienne défenseure des droits des animaux, a été tuée violemment par un camion transportant des veaux destinés à l’exportation.

Aujourd’hui, à l’occasion du Jour commémoratif de Jill Phipps, nous rendons hommage à une âme courageuse qui "est morte comme elle a vécu, luttant sans peur pour les animaux."

Assurons-nous que son héritage perdure en chacun de nous alors que nous travaillons à un monde plus compatissant pour les humains et les non-humains.

Repose en paix Jill. Jamais oublié " - Animal Save Movement
