I have seen hundreds of jeep ads lately. Is that because they are trying to sell as many jeeps as possible because they have known for a while that they are closing down manufacturing in Canada? Time to boycott Jeep, along with Tesla.

Thirty years after the UN Women’s Conference in Beijing, which produced the action plan on women’s rights, it seems that we are losing ground in combatting violence against women. A shocking 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence. And now digital violence against women is rising.

Geoffrey P Johnston😎🇨🇦🇺🇦 @geoffypjohnston.bsky.social · 8h

I have filed a story about digital violence targeting women & girls. Digital violence includes such malicious activities as: cyberstalking, harassment, threats, posting intimate images without permission etc. The impact of digital violence is devastating. Read all about it Friday.

Legally enforceable. Clearly an immediate clarification from Stellantis, or send this to court. When Stellantis says they have undefined 'plans', they are stalling. They know the volatility of shifting Jeep production. $55 M of taxpayer money given.

One of the first things our new government did was cut taxes for more than 22 million Canadians.

For parents, that’s taking some of the pressure off — so you can focus on providing the best life for your kids, and worry less about the cost.
