ON SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 3... VOTE FOR EXPERIENCE..

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled the strategy, dubbed ``Canada's first federal 2SLGBTQI+ Action Plan,'' at a news conference ahead of the pride parade in Ottawa — the first in-person march after a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19. Trudeau said the plan is the first such federal initiative of its kind and said it demonstrates the government's commitment to fighting discrimination and supporting diversity.

DR GREG FRAZER FOR COUNCIL

Dr Greg Frazer, son of Cyril and Janet Frazer, is seeking a seat on SN Council. He is a graduate of McGill and Harvard Universities. He recently retired after 32 years in private clinical practice, having treated patients in Canada, United States, and Bermuda. His clinical practice included Indigenous patients in Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec. He was an Advisor for Health Canada in the NIHB program, and presently is on the Board of Directors for a major hospital in Toronto.

Dr Frazer fully understands the plight of First Nations communities seeking adequate health care and the funding issues that affect their treatment. His background in healthcare, education, and government will bring added value to Council. His business experience will also be an asset. His motto has always been to ... LISTEN, CONSOLIDATE and ACT.

``This will guide our ongoing work to fight discrimination, break down barriers, to advance rights, and to build a future where everyone in Canada is truly free to be who they are and love whom they love,'' Trudeau said on Sunday. Trudeau said 75 per cent of the funding will go toward community organi zations focused on diver sity and inclusion because that's ``where the real work of support comes from.'' ``The strength and resil ience of your communities should inspire everyone,'' he said. The government pre viously announced in this year's budget that it would earmark $100 million to benefit LGBTQI+ people. The action plan included details of where the money wouldMorego.than $5 million of the funding will go toward the launch of a public awareness campaign, while $7.7 million has been ear marked for data collection and community-led policy research to support federal action on LGBTQ issues. Debbie Owusu-Akyeeah, executive director of the Canadian Centre for gender and sexual diversity, said the strategy was ``long awaited and overdue,'' adding more supports are needed including in schools.Shesaid Canada has lagged behind many other countries, such as the U.K., Ireland and the Nether lands which already have government action plans. She said figures from Statistics Canada have shown a sharp rise in hate crimes towards people from the 2SLGBTQI+ com munities. The Prime Minister signaled the government would look at ``further pro tections and support'' for people who survived ``con version therapy'', which he called ``a cruel and danger ous practice'' and which was criminalized earlier this year in Canada. The government is facing calls to tighten the ban to cover practices designed to try to change someone's sexual orientation or gen der identity offered online from abroad, including the U.S.Wisdom2Action Execu tive Director Fae Johnstone, who attended the launch, said there was a need to invest in counsellingmental-healthforpeopletrau matized by the discredited practice.``Tens of thousands of people were subjected to it and it's still happening today,'' she said.

I started out coaching Tyke with the Six Nations Softball Association in 1997 and went up in the age groups until 2011. I was also President for a term with the Six Nations Softball Association. In addition to this, I volunteered with the Six Nations Minor Hockey Association and Six Nations Agricultural Society for 14 years.

I have been in the public eye for many years and enjoy my time working with the public.

While employed with Six Nations Parks and Recreation, I have been involved in all events sponsored by them as well as events sponsored by Six Nations Council when asked. I have coordinated the parking in most large events such as Bread and Cheese and the annual Easter Egg Hunt and also helped with the management of Chiefswood Park when it was under Six Nations Parks and Recreation umbrella. I also assisted the Solidarity Day Committee with food, supplies, volunteers, parking and met with stage and carnival people for set up.

I am a problem solver and a team player and strive to make the best decision that’s fair to all. I have sat quietly in the background for many years and have often disagreed with many decisions that were made. If elected, I would take the people’s voice to the table to help with any decision making.

I believe that my knowledge and experience that I have gained throughout the years will help me in establishing a greater understanding of Councilor situations in order to achieve the best outcome for all.

I started working in the Concession Booth for Six Nations Sports and Memorial Cultural Centre in 1974 until 1990. I was hired on with Six Nations Parks and Recreation in 1992 as a Recreation Programmer and then in 1995 I was hired on as Admission/Concession/Marketing Team leader until present.

My passion is for the people of Six Nations, young and old alike. I would like to see improvements to Housing, Education, Health, History, Farming, Seniors and Youth.

My name Vernice Gladys Hill, known to many as Pixie. I was born on the Six Nations Reserve and lived on the reserve for most of my life. I am a Mohawk, Turtle Clan. My parents were Stanley and Vernice Jonathan and I am the fourth youngest with 6 brothers and 9 sisters. In 1978 I married Ollie J.J. Hill. We have four children Chad, Charity, Charie and Chandon, twenty grandchildren and two great grandchildren at present.

Vote for Pixie!!

I attended elementary school from grade 1 until grade 8 on the Reserve and graduated from Caledonia Secondary School In 1980. I then attended Seneca College in North York for Recreation Facilities Management where I graduated with Honors. I have also obtained several certificate courses such as Customer Service, Time Management and Accounting throughout the years.

Vernice Gladys Hill, known mostly by her nickname Pixie, is looking to fill the vacant spot in the upcom ing by-election with a fo cus on education, housing, land issues, and tweaking the election code.

Pixie, a long-time employee of Six Nations Parks and Recreation, is a Mohawk, Turtle Clan, and one of four people run ning in the by-election on Sept. 3. The seat was left vacant by former elected Councillor Wendy Johnson who suddenly resigned in July to focus on a career opportunity.Pixiesays, “I know the government won’t give us any (money) for the land because they know it will break them. We’ll own Canada if they did settle.” Instead of money, she said she wants to push for the return of land because she knows the government can’t possibly pay Six Nations what it’s owed.Pixie also says election terms should be short ened back to three years, like they used to be. Terms were extended to four years after an election code overhaul in 2019. “It’s too long,” she says. Pixie also believes there needs to be more council lors. There used to be 12 councillors but that was reduced to nine council lors in Clean2019.water and and food sovereignty are also big concerns for Pixie. “I am a problem solver and a team player and strive to make the best decision that’s fair to all. I have sat quietly in the background for many years and have often disagreed with many decisions that were made. If elected, I would take the people’s voice to the table to help with any decision making. I believe that my knowledge and experi ence that I have gained throughout the years will help me in establishing a greater understanding of Councillor situations in order to achieve the best outcome for all.” She continued, “My pas sion is for the people of Six Nations, young and old alike.

Demythologizing the Indian Act tax exemption

This was accomplished by controlling the regis tration of ``status Indians,'' which encouraged the renouncement of status by Indigenous people. Even though the legal term ``Indian'' is supposed to apply to all Indigenous Peoples in Canada, the term ``Indian'' in the Indian Act has been applied by administrative bodies and courts to exclude not only Metis and Inuit peoples, but many other Indigenous peoples as well.

Flag raised to survivorshonour

OTTAWA — The federal government raised the Survivors' Flag on Parlia ment Hill today as a way to honour Indigenous Peoples forced to attend residential schools. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was joined by Stephanie Scott, executive director of the National Centre for Truth and Rec onciliation, Crown-Indig enous Relations Minister Marc Miller, Northern Affairs Minister Dan Vandal and survivors of residential schools from across the country.Several residential school survivors spoke about the significance of the flag, including Jimmy Durocher, a Metis survivor who attended St. Bruno's boarding school in Ile-a-laCrosse,``TodaySask.we raise the Survivors' Flag high over these colonial buildings, where lawmakers are now listening to our truths and seeking to work together towards askedDurocherreconciliation,''said.Inherremarks,Scottelectedofficialsto take moment while going about their work to pause when they see the flag. ``Pause and reflect about the truth that still remains to be told and about the hard work that still must be done,'' Scott said. Trudeau called residen tial schools a ``shameful'' part of Canadian history and said the Survivors' Flag would serve as a way for Canadians to remem ber what happened at the government-funded, church-operated institu tions over more than a century.``This flag is an expres sion of Trudeauremembrance,''said.``Itismeant to honour all survivors and all the lives through the generations that have been, are being, and will continue to be impacted by the resi dential school system.'' The flag was designed in consultation and collabo ration with survivors, with each element of the design approved by the group that was consulted. The elements include a depiction of a family with seeds beneath them meant to represent the spirits of children who never returnedEugenehome.Arcand, a Cree survivor who attended St. Michael's Indian Residen tial School in Duck Lake, Sask., spoke about Canadi ans' shared responsibility to further reconciliation efforts and urged people to get to know survivors. ``There aren't many of us left,'' Arcand said. ``Take an opportunity to meet us. Know who we are.'' Last year, ground-pene trating radar located what are believed to be hundreds of unmarked graves on the grounds of former resi dential schools, sparking efforts to remember survi vors.The flag will remain raised on Parliament Hill until 2024, when a decision will be made on its perma nentThehome.National Residential School Crisis Line, which of fers emotional support and crisis referral services for residential school survivors and their families, can be reached toll-free at 1-866925-4419.

To date, Indigenous peo ple have not been provided the taxation and spending authority consistent with self-government. This means Indigenous peo ple have not received the same level of services that non-Indigenous Canadians enjoy.Even though nearly all Indigenous people in Cana da pay tax on their income, Canadian governments have not spent nearly as much on services for them.

The term ``Indian'' is an outdated, pejorative term that is no longer used to refer to Indigenous people in Canada, but it is the legal term used under the Indian Act to designate persons and ``bands'' to which the Act applies, which is why we are using it here.

OPINION

The first consolidation of the Indian Act was passed by Alexander Mackenzie's Liberal government in 1876. The legislation was designed to ``civilize'' In digenous peoples through ``enfranchisement.''

The statistics don't lie While a status Indian doesn't need to live on reserve to be subject to the exemption, it's easier for them to get the exemp tion if they do. As of 2016, there were 1.7 million First Nations, Inuit and Metis people living in Canada, 745,000 of which were ``status'' or ``registered Indians.''Ofthat number, 44 per cent lived on reserve and about 200,000 were of working age (between the ages of 14 and 65). Of the working population, about 75,000 earned under $10,000 in annual income or less, meaning they would not have paid tax, regardless of their identity or place of residence. This left around 130,000 people — just 8 per cent of Canada's Indigenous popu lation — who could poten tially qualify for the section 87 exemption. However, this number is likely lower because status Indians only qualify for the exemption if their income is connected to aThisreserve.doesn't just require a status Indian's employer to be located on reserve, but also that the connec tion be supported by a real relationship and be more than a head office or place to pick up cheques. While it is possible for a status Indian who resides off-reserve to claim the tax exemption, it's more diffi cult for them to satisfy the necessary criteria. Courts must determine how much of a status Indian's income is connected to a reserve by looking at several factors, including:-Where a status Indian lives - Where a status Indian's employer residence is - Whether an employer is a status Indian or a busi ness is owned by a status Indian or Indian band - If the activities per formed on a reserve contribute to the reserve's income Self-determination and taxes

ises or legal overtures to make room for Indigenous governments to assume authority over their own taxes.Inrecent years, there has been movement in this direction by the feder al government. And as Canada has committed to aligning Canadian law with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peo ples, there is good reason to hope that the way the colonization of Indigenous peoples has financed Cana dian prosperity can finally be brought into the open. If Canadians wish to take reconciliation and the self-determination of In digenous Peoples seriously, it is time to stop allowing mythologies of ``who pays for Canada'' to be laid at the door of Indigenous Peoples.

The Indian Act

The Indian Act is an evolving piece of colonial legislation that has contin ually governed the affairs of Indigenous Peoples since before Confederation. In 1867, the federal govern ment assumed full juris diction over ``Indians and lands reserved for Indians'' under subsection 91(24) of the Constitution Act.

The tax exemption The taxation exemption is housed in paragraph 87(1)(b) of the Indian Act. It exempts ``the personal property of an Indian or a band situated on a re serve.'' This provision has been interpreted to mean the income of someone registered, or eligible to be registered, as a status Indian will be exempt if that income is located on a reserve. However, because income is not tangible personal property, the courts have criteria for de termining whether a status Indian's income can be said to be located on reserve. Since not all Indigenous people are Indians under the Indian Act, and because not all Indians earn income that could be said to be located on reserve, the exemption is very narrow.

There is a common miscon ception among Canadians that Indigenous people do not pay any taxes. It perpetuates harmful stereotypes and hinders non-Indigenous Canadians from reconciling with the truths of Canada's colonial history and present. In reality, Indigenous Peoples are subject to the same tax rules as any other Canadian, unless they are eligible for tax exemption under section 87 of the Indian Act. However, there is still considerable misun derstanding about how this exemption is applied.

Volume 10, Issue 3

Six Nations is home to innovative thinkers with great ideas that want to work together to make sure the cannabis industry brings economic growth to everyone, and not just a few. Unfortunately, few people were willing to car ry on with that work long term because at the end of the day, the onslaught of negative and untrue tales being told about the Com mission weren’t worth the cost to people’s personal well-being.

The community must occupy the regulation of cannabis on Six Nations

My term as Chief Commis sioner of the Six Nations Cannabis Commission ended on May 31, 2022. I was originally ap pointed under the first version of the cannabis law which put me on the commission for a maxi mum of three years. I was appointed on May 31, 2019. There was an option for me to extend my term to the full 4 year term of Chief Commissioner under the 2021 version of the law but I decided not to do that. I felt that it was fair and better for me to stay for my original term length and no longer so that others in the community who want to see cannabis regulated on the territory could participate in that work. I stayed on as Chief Commissioner until July 6, 2022.During my time as Chief Commissioner, I was given the opportunity to work with 13 Haudenosaunee people from Six Nations who invested hundreds of hours to build the current Six Nations Cannabis Control Law and its ac companying Regulations. It was very hard work and they all walked into the project dedicated to it, often sacrificing their personal time and taking a jab or two from some (at time unfair) criticism coming from the commu nity. They were all dedi cated professionals who brought experience in the areas of law, gaming, social work, on-reserve industry, science, cannabis and knowledge about Six Nations and it’s history to the table. This crew of individuals all contributed their wisdom to build the system that is currently in place and their efforts to protect the health and safety of Six Nations are their efforts are worthy of being acknowledged and celebrated. Misinformation has recently been circulated about the nature of the end of my term with the Commission. It is really disappointing to read claims that some kind of nefarious inner workings were going on with the team that I was a part of for three years. These are out of touch with reality and only serve to try to de-legitimize the efforts of those from the community who helped the Commis sion to build a system that would protect cannabis consumers, dispensary owners and producers on theDespiteTerritory.those untrue claims being made, I will not disclose the details of someone’s license or any issues surrounding their business. However I will share that during my time as Chief Commissioner, my team and I regular ly briefed the Elected Council on all matters of concern — includ ing claims by industry participants if they were unhappy with the choices of the Commission. Some people may view that as the Commission not being transparent enough with the community. From a regulatory perspective, there is no benefit to mak ing regulatory matters with individual businesses an open book for anyone on the territory to read. And pressuring the Com mission to release details about regulatory matters by claiming there is no transparency is a weak rhetorical argument that will not make Six Nations any safer. In fact, it would do the Thereopposite.aremany people on Six Nations who don't want there to be a can nabis monopoly. No one wants to see non-indige nous people coming onto the territory to set up shop here and to domi nate the space because it’s in some kind of regulatory grey area. Everyone that I spoke to who is already in, or wants to be in the can nabis business on the re serve feels that way. There should only be cannabis businesses on Six Nations that are owned and man aged by the people of Six Nations. Hard stop. However, when the government passed the Cannabis Act in 2018 — that kind of slow creep in of apeoplenon-indigenouslookingtomakebuckontherezstarted to happen. I followed my instincts when I joined the Commission, to do some thing good to work with community organizations to stand up and help build something that would protect our territory from non-indigenous people and other bad actors look ing to taking advantage of those on-reserve grey areas when it comes to cannabis.Idon’tbelieve that everyone involved in unregulated cannabis is involved in organized crime. But I do know that there is a direct co-re lation between the bad actors using the unregu lated cannabis space on our territory to import guns or other drugs — and the increase of human trafficking, addictions and violence against our peo ple that comes with that. This is why the com munity absolutely must occupy the regulation of cannabis on Six Nations. The province isn’t offering any resources to protect our people. Neither is the federal government. The whole onus falls on Six Nations. I saw that, and pitched in to help. It is unfortunate that other people believe my participation was for any other reason than to lift up what I thought and still think is the right thing to do.I am a Haudenosaunee auntie and mom. I am also that type of mom who is second mom to many of my children’s friends. And I grew up as a child on Six Nations. As such the protection of children is always the thing that I think about first. What I think about second, is the differences that I see between the community I grew up in and the com munity my children are growing up in — and what that huge difference will mean for the type of com munity Six Nations will be when my grandchildren grow up here. That is why I helped the council build a cannabis regulatory structure and build the cannabis law, and I know I made a good choice. It was tough, and challenging. Some people came straight up to me and told me that I failed. I do not agree with that and I don't see it that way. I am not afraid of a challenge. I am not afraid to attempt to work on anything that has a degree of difficulty to it and see that work through to the end. I am not afraid of be ing on the opposite end of what others believe in and I am not afraid to be the only person holding the perspective that I might on any given subject. I am also not afraid to take action on something that I believe in, even if other people are collec tively working on some thing contrary to what I believe in. It's never been about knocking anyone else down - but building what I believe in. What has been difficult, and where I continue to struggle, is walking through the mean things that people have said, armed with misinforma tion, and maybe even with bad intentions — to invent a tall tale about what was going on. I had friends and family getting bullied for their relationships with me. People I loved were being isolated and excluded from jobs, conversations and opportunities because of their connection to me.

I recognize that lateral violence is a problem in our community. And I am disappointed that lateral violence clouded the work that the Cannabis Com mission did because it has been good work.

I was called a traitor and a secret millionaire, only in this for the money.

Over the course of the last three years I have had people who disagreed with my involvement in the Commission threaten my husband and children with violence.

There is enough room in the community for disagreement and diverse thought on absolutely ev ery issue that we have in our community. Diversity is our strength. But the intentional work being done to disempower or harm people on a person al level because they have a different perspective on political issues is only preventing things from getting done and stopping Six Nations from advanc ing.While I do still be lieve that the work of the Commission is good, I think there should be some changes to the way cannabis is regulated on the territory. On numer ous occasions I told the Elected Council that put ting individual community members in charge of regulating the industry is putting people at risk of real harm and isn’t fair to anyone. The issuing of cannabis licenses, now that the Cannabis Law is finished, can continue but does not require the work of a Commission to operate. It can operate as an administrative function of the council. And that is how it should be. The Cannabis Law will only serve to protect the people of Six Nations and empower industry partici pants if the council can ad vance it politically so the cannabis industry on the reserve isn’t viewed by the world outside the rez as operating in a quasi-le gal bubble or grey market — and if law enforcement are empowered to take action against the type of bad actors I mentioned before looking to make a buck off of Indian land. In addition, the council needs the community’s support to advance the conversation about can nabis on Six Nations both on the territory and with provincial and federal leaders. On reserve cannabis businesses should have equal access to safe can nabis products produced by licensed operators in Canada as well as safe cannabis products produced by indigenous cannabis producers on First Nations. As it stands right now — they don’t, which is Prohibitingdiscrimination.SixNations dispensaries from access ing those safe products only puts the health and safety of the community at risk because it drives the illegal industry here to our home. On reserve cannabis producers on Six Nations also deserve equal access to using the services of testing facilities in Canada and acquiring testing equipment from Cana dian suppliers — but on Six Nations own terms, without the overreach of Health Canada asserting jurisdiction over on-re serve cannabis spaces. Those conversations need to be steered by the elected leaders of all reserve communities and the provincial and federal governments need to man up and be brave enough to come into those discus sions prepared to do their part in the work toward First Nations self-deter mination and economic sovereignty. Being afraid to talk about cannabis because it’s too dicey on social media or because its labelled as too “controver sial” by people who are against regulations in the first place — or because its being framed as too political — is only doing a disservice to the faces yet to Sixcome.Nations needs to be protected for their sake, and having a good community conversa tion about where things should go from here when it comes to cannabis is critical to their future.

One person shared that the rhetoric they were hearing combined with the bullying they were experiencing for our rela tionship was so bad that they eventually became too afraid to talk to me at all in a public space.

It was painful to see people I trusted reveal that they didn't trust me enough to come and have a conversation with me to find the facts.

Advanced degrees growing in popularity ROW TIMES

Many college grads are continuing their educa tions after earning bache lor’s degrees. As of 2016, 28.5 per cent of Canadians had a bachelor’s degree or higher, says Statistics Canada.TheNational Student Clearinghouse Research Center says enrolment in graduate programs con tinues to grow. It rose 3.6 per cent in fall 2020 from a year earlier, and 4.4 per cent during the spring 2021 semester, perhaps spurred on by the global pandemic and schools’ more flexible course offer ings that cater to remote students.Despite their growing popularity, advanced degrees do not always translate into higher sala ries or improved job pros pects. The research site Educationdata.org says about nine per cent of Americans have master’s degrees, but the degrees increased employability by less than three per cent. Furthermore, the cost of a master’s degree nearly doubles the aver age debt held by people with bachelor’s degrees, according to the person al finance marketplace Credible.Inaddition, certain business owners may even pass up on applicants with advanced degrees because the students had been in school too long or tended to assume their degrees make them worth more, according to a report by Fox Business. That report indicates less than 10 per cent of employers believe colleges do a good job of preparing students for the working world, and many employers value applicants who prioritize real-world experience over schooling. This is information students need to consider when thinking about pursuing advanced degrees.

Assessments such as quizzes and exams help educators recognize areas where students are excel ling and where they might need a little extra help. In addition to tests in the classroom, high schoolers generally take standard ized testing for provincial assessment purposes. Testing may come easier to some students than others, but having solid study techniques can improve students’ perfor mance on a wide range of exams.

The pursuit of a career in the arts often requires enrolling in an under graduate art program in either a standalone arts facility or an arts program embedded within a larger university. Consulting the various published lists of top-ranking schools is a great way for students in terested in the arts to find schools where they can continue their academic careers. These lists take into account feedback from faculty and alumni, tuition and fees, admission rates, and much more. The following are some highly rated arts schools that students may want to consider as they think about their academic futures.George Brown College: This Toronto-based col lege is divided into three schools, which include the School of Design, the School of Fashion Studies and the School of Perform ing Arts. All three offer un dergraduate and graduate degree programs. Yale University: This Connecticut school is well known for many of its excellent programs. The Ivy League school also has topped nearly every listing of the best MFA programs in the nation.

1. Find value in the lessons. Many students lament that what they learn in school just isn’t relevant in daily life. That can make the subject matter feel less important and unin teresting. Finding value in what one is learning and seeing how it can be ap plied outside of the class room may make a student more inclined to learn and retain information. 2. Avoid distractions. Study time is time to take a break from social media, video games and any other distractions that can pull a student away from studying. Constantly checking notifications can interrupt thoughts and make it hard to learn the material. 3. Establish a study schedule. Develop a system and a schedule for studying. Students should establish a fixed habit of studying each day or week — what ever is best for him or her. Over time, studying will become routine. 4. Establish dedicated study spots. Students should locate places that work best for them as study and home work stations. Certain individuals may need the quiet of a library or a bookstore. Others may do best with the hum of conversation around them or in a group. There’s no right or wrong study spot. Maintaining consistency will help the mind associ ate a place with studying.

Racialized people had higher mortality rates from COVID 19: Statistics Canada

CANADIAN PRESS editor@tworowtimes.com TWO ROW TIMES

A Statistics Canada study has found that some racialized populations in Canada had significantly higher mortality rates from COVID-19.Theanalysis says the COVID-19 death rate was much higher for racial ized people compared to non-racialized people. It found 31 deaths per 100,000 for racialized people and 22 deaths per 100,000 for the non-racial ized`Ìtpopulation.confirmswhat a lot of us had believed, how COVID has basically targeted racialized people,'' said Dr. Anna Banerji, an infectious disease special ist and a professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. Black people had the highest mortality rate _ more than two times higher than non-racialized resi dents. That was followed by those who identify as South Asians and comparedinCOVID-19izedmortalitywereHowever,Chinese.thosewhoChinesehadasimilarratetonon-racialpeople.ThestudyestimatedmortalityratesCanadain2020andthemwithnewly released census data from 2016. Only South Asian, Chinese and Black peo ple were analyzed due to sample size restrictions, the studyNicolesaid.Aitken, an analyst with Statistics Canada in Ottawa, said the findings were limited because re searchers did not have data on people living in care homes or other institution al living arrangements. In the early stage of the pan demic, there were deadly outbreaks in care homes across the country. The study also did not include the effect of COVID-19 vaccines, which were widely distributed starting in 2021. The study found that across the Canadian pop ulation, men had higher mortality rates, but Black men were the highest at 62 deaths per 100,000 people. Black women also had a much higher mortality than their non-racialized counterparts.Chinesewomen had the lowest mortality rate at 16 deaths per 100,000 people. The study also explored the effects of being low in come on the mortality rate for racialized people after accounting for other risk factors such as age, sex and housing type. The study found a person's socioeconomic situation played a role in COVID-19 deaths for all populations, except Chinese people.``The rate for the Black people who were living in low income were almost three times higher com pared to the Black people not living in low income,'' Aitken said. ``So this group ? seems to be in a lot more vulner able situation than some of the other populations in Canada.''People in low income, overcrowded housing and apartments had higher odds of dying from COVID-19.Banerjisaid it's clear that a lot of racialized people are at increased risk due to poverty and under lying disease. She added that a lot of them were also in front-line, low-paying jobs where they were un able to stay at home or take sick``Thisdays.kind of data helps us with public health policy that recognizes the dispar ity and tries to address it,'' sheDavidsaid. Fisman, a profes sor of epidemiology at the University of Toronto, said it is important race and eth nicity are taken seriously as factors in people's health. He said that data hasn't been available in Canada until``There'srecently.this interaction between Black race-eth nicity in Canada and low income that is just deadly to people,'' Fisman said. ``When you have Black race-ethnicity and you are also impoverished, that seems to confer a tremen dously high risk.'' The study said its find ings were consistent with others conducted in the United States and else where which found more severe outcomes among racialized populations. A study commissioned by the Black Coalition Against COVID in the U.S. found rates of infection, hospitalization and death were highest among Black Americans. That study said it was a result of structural and societal realities, in cluding working front-line jobs, living in multi-gener ational homes and in more populated areas. Health inequalities, including higher rates of diabetes and chronic kidney disease, as well as racism and bias within the health-care system also play a role, that studyThesaid.Statistics Canada study said the relation ship between low income, racialized populations and COVID-19 mortality could be explained by ``multiple pathways.'' Low income, unsuitable housing and less access to preventive health care can increase risk. Fisman said the results may not be surprising for people who saw mass spreading of the virus in low-income neighbour hoods or at work places that are poorly ventilated. He said it shows how clean indoor air is an im portant health equity issue. `Ìt's getting easier and easier to see what the mechanisms are that are driving these disparities,'' he said. `À lot of it simply relates to where people live and work and spend time indoors.''Thestudy did not ana lyze the effect of COVID-19 on Indigenous people due to data Race-basedlimitations.COVID-19 data released in Manitoba last year showed Indige nous people made up 17 per cent of COVID-19 infec tions, despite making up 13 per cent of the provincial population.

Get back to a watering schedule: Despite your plants being inside, most houseplants undergo dormancy in the fall, which is why you might notice there are fewer new leaves on your plants. With fall comes less light and less light translates to less growth. Less growth means your plants do not need as much water and fertilizer. If you were watering your plants every few days in the summer, try to fall back to only watering when the soil has dried out a lot more than you are used to. Remember it is always worse to overwater than underwater.Bringthem indoors: If your plants have been vacationing outside in your yard, steps or patio, it’s time to bring them inside before overnight temperatures get too low. Take a good look on and around the stem, soil and leaves to ensure your plant hasn’t picked up any bugs that could damage or spread to your plants that stay inside all season. Also, keep in mind some plants are toxic to pets and children. Keep them out of Snipreach.snip: treehugger. com says a season change is a good time to give your houseplants a much-need ed trim if you haven’t been doing so all sum mer.

The spray of the shower head can also knock loose any dust or debris on the leaves. Plants absorb light through their leaves and since there is less light in the fall already, why not give your plants the best shot they can get at extra light?Keep plants away from windows: bioadvanced. com says you shouldn’t keep plants near cold drafts and in the fall it’s important to keep them several inches away from exterior windows.

Researchers urge more limits on edibles after finding jump in kid cannabis poisonings

limits would ultimately undermine regulated products by pushing some consumers to seek illegal edibles with higher con centrations.``You'rejust going to drive people into the hands of the illicit market even more. And they're not selling regulated prod ucts, they're not checking people's IDs. They're sell ing 10, 20 units in a pack age, whereas under Health Canada regulations, we're only allowed to sell one unit at a maximum of 10 milligrams per package,'' saidFinkelsteinKhan. insisted that various government efforts to mitigate poten tial harm have proven ineffective at unintentionaladdressingpoisonings among``Despitekids.all those mea sures, we see this large increase in provinces that allowed it. So we think that the right way would be to prohibit cannabis edibles,'' said Finkelstein, whose study was funded by the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction.Myran,also a preven tive medicine specialist at the University of Ottawa and The Ottawa Hospital, said society can still get the social and health ben efits of decriminalizing dried cannabis without permitting colourful, candy-like products that attract``We'rechildren.increasing the risk of health harms with very little public health or health gain,'' Myran said of legalized``Canada'sedibles.pub approachlic-health-orientedtocannabis was meant to avoid a poorly regulated industry or a commercialized industry. And I think it's a real open question of whether we've hit that balance or not. Data like this, to me, sug gests that we don't have strict enough regulations.'' Myran acknowledges there are substantial public health, social and equity gains from the decriminalization of can nabis but said a tightened rein on edibles would not lessen``Youthem.canget those ben efits by decriminalizing cannabis or other sub stances, or by legalizing it with very tight regulation. You do not need to sell fruity, very visually ap pealing cannabis products in order to get rid of those criminal justice harms.''

The data did not specify whether or how many of the poisonings were due to edibles versus dried flower, but Myran said he's confident that legal edibles have increased child risks because of the timing of the cases, and the fact that Quebec effec tively serves as a control for the study. In its packaging and labelling guide, Health Canada cites the need to ``reduce the attractiveness and appeal of cannabis products, particularly to young persons,'' placing requirements for child-re sistant packaging, limited colours and warning labels. Other rules under the Cannabis Act restrict the amount of THC per package to 10 milligrams — one-tenth of what's al lowed in many U.S. states. If anything, many in the cannabis industry would like to see fewer restric tions, said Omar Khan, a senior vice-president at High Tide Inc., which runs 139 Canna Cabana stores in B.C., andSaskatchewan,Alberta,ManitobaOntario.HesaidtighterTHC

The Ottawa-based fam ily physician said that sug gests the move to legalize edibles has increased the health risks to children, even though federal and provincial rules limit the potency, packaging and access to the products.

The iconic North American monarch butterfly Danaus plexippus plexippus was recently listed in the IUCN's Red List of Threatened Species, signalling that its ongoing decline could lead to extinction. The com pounding effects of habitat degradation, insufficient food and water and climate change have led to these dwindlingNationalnumbers.parksthat pro tect monarchs removed _ sometimes forcefully _ local people, including Indige nous groups who have long lived sustainably with these insects. This separation caused the monarchs to suffer from that disconnec tion from the communities which followed agricultural practices that protected them.InMexico, forest extensions that used to be community commons (later a Biosphere Reserve to protect monarchs) have been converted into avoca do plantations. In Canada, the emblematic Point Pelee National Park that hosts monarchs at their fall migration also sub stituted monarch habitat with wooded areas that are not suitable for monarchs. Creating this National Park entailed evicting the Cald well First Nation from their ancestral land. Monarchs are protected when they spend the win ter in the cool and humid forests of central Mexico, but the migratory route is still not fully integrated into the conservation plan. In Canada, monarchs are listed as endangered but protected differently across provinces and in the United States, monarchs are still not listed as endangered. Monarchs live in an unequal North America _ a region that is integrated economically and geo graphically, but marked by inequality based on race, class and citizenship. The fates of marginalized residents are closely tied to those of the monarch. This is seen in monocrop agriculture, which has dis placed Indigenous people and destroyed habitats for monarchs and other pollinators by changing the nativeInsteadlandscape.ofmore frag mentation and boundaries (around countries, parks and people), what mon archs need to survive is for us to emulate their ``cross ing'' behaviour. We must ask: how can we create more and better crossings? To enable more cross ings, we need to de-centre the role of conservation ex perts as leaders of monarch protection policies. Actions to save the monarch butter fly should be planned with _ not merely in consultation with _ Indigenous peoples who have ancestrally lived with this insect. We also need to begin democratizing monarch knowledge. This would include accounting for the role of citizen scientists in monarch protection. They should be viewed not mere ly as amateurs or ``helpers'' in scientific research, but as knowledge producers and, ideally, policy-makers in their own Despiteright.theharsh reality of its path to extinction, we should see the latest monarch listing as an op portunity.
