Public transportation should not exclusively run on electric power allowing options to have a two source energy system. Allowing safety measures to keep the buses and trains running non stop for the citizens by decreasing the chances of having transportation malfunctions &/or shut downs by electricity exclusive vehicles/machinery. Also another addition would be that it would allow our equipment to work in a potential circumstance of solar flares disrupting all electric devices on the planet.

the architecture in Canada doesn't support the simpler green transportation like walking and cycling.

 @9FTLBNRLiberalfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

Many Canadians aren’t aware of the damage they are doing, some might not even know what fossil fuels are but still contribute to them, for example they might not know that one tank of gas used could produce 2.68kg of fossil fuels.

People should agree with green transportation for many reasons and those are;

1. Environmental Benefits
Reduced Carbon Emissions, by using safer way of transportation such as electric vehicles this reduces the amount of carbon footprint we emit.
2. Economical Benefits
By using lower operational cost (gas) like electric vehicles we can see that they are more energy efficient and cost less to operate per mile
3. Health Benefits
Using greener options out air quality can get significantly better as this reduces the amount of exposure to pollutants and going further this can help with a reduced healthcare cost associated with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.

International Criminal Court Issues Arrest Warrant For Netanyahu

The International Criminal Court on Thursday issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and the former Israeli defense minister, Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip.Karim Khan, the court’s chief prosecutor, had requested the arrest warrants in May for the two Israelis, alongside three top Hamas officials. Israel has fiercely contested the court’s allegations, which include the use of starvation as a weapon of war and “intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population.”The court on Thursday also issued a warrant for the arrest of Muhammad Deif, Hamas’s military chief, for crimes against humanity, including murder, hostage taking and sexual violence. Israel said in August that it had killed Mr. Deif. Mr. Khan had also sought arrest warrants for Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, and Ismail Haniyeh, another top figure in the militant group, both of whom were later killed by Israel.The warrants added to Israel’s declining legitimacy on the world stage, where it has faced increasingly fierce condemnation over its conduct of the war against Hamas in Gaza. Israel insists that it fights in accordance with the international laws of war.
