Ethical Canada means decolonizing, decriminalizing, and democratizing the present state of Canada.• Ethical Canadians who have awakened to the criminal nature of the state of Canada, are growing in numbers through the TRR. They want a reset for Canda, and they're charging mainstream press with historic fraud. • The government needs to open itself to public scrutiny, and enforce transparency and all records to be reviewed without exclusion. • A team of forensic accountants should be assigned to estimate the numbers of child victims, and their fates today. • According to Stats Canada, there about 3,500 Canadian veterans of foreign wars sleeping in Canadian streets every night. • 250,000 native child were abducted and forced to defend their native faith and tribal ways, and be forced to convert to Christianity was in fact forced to become a child soldier and fight in Macdonald's religious war for indigenous lands and resources. In this child nightmare, about 6,000 child warriors were killed.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steve Staniek

West Vancouver, Lower the Voting Age to 16Although the youth are only 20% of our country today, they are 100% of our future. Keeping the voting age at 18 leaves out a vital demographic of young individuals who are ready, eager, and informed to vote NOW! Youth in our society are often disheartened by global news and deeply desire to make a difference. However, they are frequently dismissed and lack the means to bring about meaningful change. Having the vote allows their issues to be pushed to the forefront of political discussion, and help the youth understand that they are important, their issues do matter, and they can make the difference they wish to see in the world. By lowering the voting age, we can elevate young peoples' voices and foster a generation of engaged citizens who are confident participants in their democracy. It's time for West Vancouver to recognize the potential of its younger citizens and lower the voting age to 16. We urge this amazing, vibrant, and diverse community of Vancouver to push this forward. Please sign this petition to Vancouver City Mayor and Council to West lower the Voting Age to 16.158 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jerry and Jason Song

Make the CDB non-reportable for taxes!Dear Minister Freeland and Minister Khera, We, the undersigned, believe that people with disabilities deserve to live with dignity. This is why we are asking for the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) to be made non-reportable for taxes. If the CDB has to be reported at tax time (even if recipients do not have to pay taxes on it), it may be used to calculate eligibility for other federal benefits and credits. This could result in clawbacks. If the federal government cannot guarantee that their own benefits and credits won't be clawed back by the CDB, how can they expect the provinces and territories to not claw the CDB back from their social assistance programs? We are asking that the Income Tax Act be modified to treat the CDB like the Canada Child Benefit by making the CDB non-reportable for taxes and excluding it from Adjusted Family Net Income. Benefits of doing so include: -No clawbacks of federal benefits or credits for CDB recipients -Less likelihood of the CDB being clawed back by provincial and territorial social assistance -Reduced stress for CDB recipients at tax time because they don't have to report it on their tax return -A show of good will from the federal government towards the Disability community, who have waited so long (and are still waiting!) for the CDB. Thank you for considering this request. Sincerely,6,367 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Patrick Teed

Equal Rent Control for All ApartmentsThousands of tenants in Ontario who rent now or did since 2018 lease units in new buildings were given rent increases ranging from 10% to 30% ! The landlords owning buildings built before 2018 have to obey the yearly limited increase around 2.5% For example, you rent in a hundred year old building versus a new built building! The upkeep for the 100 year old building is way above the legal rent increase whilst a new building upkeep is far below! Yet all tenants in new buildings are facing unexpected financial challenges due largely to Doug Ford’s legislation enacted in November 2018! It must be challenged and revoked! And most importantly the tenants who were charged rent increases above the national yearly maximum must be compensated accordingly!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Romy Baur

Bring Basic Income Guarantee to Prince Edward IslandWhen Saskatchewan brought Medicare in, there was strong opposition. Now we have a federal program and can’t imagine our life with an American system. In seven years, PEI will prove to Canadians that we all can succeed if we work together. It’s a small Island, so we can show Canada the way. Other projects have been stopped without study by hard core conservatives, leaving people high and dry and without any recourse. Send your voice to politicians that they must lead, follow or get out of the way. Bring BIG to PEI.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lynne Thiele

Call for CFIB-FCEI to break up with ScotiabankScotiabank is already under pressure to divest itself of Elbit shares; however to date they have not shown any interest in doing so. We therefore need to use all avenues available to us to increase this pressure. As the CFIB-FCEI is Canada's largest advocacy group of over 97,000 small businesses, we can make our voice heard, that supporting genocide is not acceptable to us as Canadians, and as Canadian small businesses.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jean-Paul Thuot

Save our National Medical SystemWorking together we can save this wonderful medical system that was once described as the crown jewel of medical systems. If we do nothing our medical system will slip away and become either a two tiered system or a system owned by the private sector. If we want to preserve our system we must act to preserve it7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Garry Jollymore

Support striking workers – stop Doug Ford from selling off the LCBO!Doug Ford is trying to privatize the LCBO – destroying good jobs and starving our public services of funding. Just last year, profits from the LCBO – an Ontario Crown Corporation – provided $2.58 billion dollars of funding for education, healthcare and other public services. But if Ford’s plan for privatizing alcohol sales goes through – those profits will go straight to the pockets of billionaires of big box stores like Galen Weston. Striking LCBO workers are hitting the picket lines to fight back against Doug Ford’s plan – which would erode the good union jobs LCBO provides and deals a hefty blow to public services funding. We can’t let Doug Ford get away with this. Together, let’s keep the LCBO public. Add your name to show support for the striking LCBO workers and demand Ford back off his plan for privatization. One of the best ways to support striking workers is to visit a picket line: https://opseu.org/news/support-striking-lcbo-workers-find-a-picket-location-near-you/237391/9,723 of 10,000 SignaturesCreated by Romy Baur

Regulate the water and energy use of cryptocurrency and AI data centersTech operations like crypto currency centers in Canada are guzzling millions of liters water. Digital operations like cryptocurrency and AI rely heavily on large data centers – which use large amounts of electricity, and also water to cool down computers (also known as “servers”). The latest estimate, from three years ago, is that 127 billion liters of water is used for cryptocurrency operations per year– enough to supply a million Canadian homes. But assessing the true impact is almost impossible because cryptocurrency and data centers in Canada aren’t required to register or restrict how much water or electricity they use. Already this summer we’ve seen effects of water shortages – like in Alberta – which could regularly become a new normal as the effects of runaway climate change intensify. It’s high time we reckon with the environmental and resource-intensive impact of Big Tech.6,193 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Virginia Bowden

Support our wildland firefighters on the frontlines of the climate crisisAs a wildland firefighter, I work at the frontlines of the climate crisis to help protect people and homes from ever-intensifying wildfires that devastate our communities. We risk our lives to fight these deadly fires. But it’s a hard job. Low wages and benefits, and extreme working conditions have created a staffing crisis amongst our ranks, putting a heavy burden on wildland firefighters right as climate change is making wildfires more extreme. A simple change to how the federal government classifies our jobs from ‘forestry’ to ‘public safety’ – like our colleagues who work in municipal fire departments — could help improve our working conditions and benefits and ensure our ranks don’t dwindle right as our communities need us most. A cross-party group of MPs are already calling for this change, we just need to get the federal government on board too. As the climate crisis deepens, we need to invest in good jobs that help protect our communities in the face of wildfires, heatwaves, and flooding. Will you support better working conditions for wildland firefighters like me and add your name to my petition now?5,531 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Michael Graeme

Fair wages for Flight AttendantsDid you know that flight attendants are only paid for the work they do while in the air? That means all the work they do preparing the plane, boarding and making passengers feel comfortable and offboarding the plane is on the clock, but off the paycheck. On average, flight attendants are doing up to 35 hours of unpaid work per week. That’s a week of full-time work for an average person — without any pay. It’s not right. Unions and MPs from multiple parties are now calling for the government to make changes to the labour code and crack down on unpaid work in the airline industry. A big showing of public support could help change the winds on flight attendants’ workplace rights — and get the government to ensure flight attendants are paid for all their work, not just their time in the sky. Sign the petition now calling for fair pay for fair work for flight attendants.8,146 of 9,000 SignaturesCreated by Leadnow Canada

The Right to LightThere are many reasons to support adding the right to solar light to the Charter of Rights in Canada. First, solar access is extremely valuable to the individuals who have it. The quality and amount of sunlight which reaches a structure’s interior, for example, affects three economic measures: the resale price of the structure, as buyers will pay premiums for naturally lit space; the productivity of the structure’s occupants, who work better with sunlight than artificial light; and the operating costs of heating, cooling, and lighting systems. Similarly, the use of sunlight in outdoor areas can have financial consequences: a property owner can grow garden vegetables, produce commercial crops for resale, or use sunlight instead of electricity to dry laundry − all of which save or generate income. Perhaps most importantly, solar collectors, for which sunlight is the primary and essential ingredient, almost always save owners more in energy costs than the purchase price, and rapid technological developments have rendered them increasingly more valuable and will continue to do so in years to come. The recognition that solar access has value to individuals must serve as the basis for any solar rights regime. A chorus of commentators writing thirty years ago praised solar energy and solar collectors and called our failure to recognize solar rights “an impediment to widespread conversion to solar energy, “The single most important legal issue concerning solar energy, and “the major legal issue associated with solar energy.” Although the need for guaranteed property rights in solar access has grown more acute, we have failed to modify the law to provide them. It is a fundamental need for all humans, either directly or indirectly, no different than food and water.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by simon melrose
