The Commonwealth is "Implacably opposed to all forms of discrimination", but #DidYouKnow that the UK 'freezes' its state pensions for recipients in 90% of Commonwealth countries? Please #EndFrozenPensions to end a discriminatory policy, @Keir_Starmer.

You’re absolutely right - the UK should follow Canada’s example on indexation. Once a pensioner becomes entitled to a Cdn pension, their benefits are indexed no matter where that pensioner decides to retire. British indexation is selective/discriminatory, and that’s bad policy.
Douglas Tompson@DTSaskatoon

@RalphGoodale Is anything being done for British pensioners living in Canada with respect to indexing. This benefit has been extended to British pensioners living in Spain but nothing for Canadians. As a Commonwealth country, our (SK based) parents should be treated the same. Thank you!

We know some frozen pensioners receive as little as £17.35 a week. Many likely get even less than this. @Keir_Starmer, please agree to meet with heroic 99 year old WW2 #veteran Anne Puckridge to discuss this injustice.

Anne Puckridge's epic trip hoping to meet @Keir_Starmer is supported by @JoannaLumleyUK, who adds "I urge the PM to move mountains in his no doubt crowded diary to find a precious few minutes to meet Anne when she makes her epic trip to the UK in December."

What would be happening now if the Trudeau gov't focused on replacing oil with heat pumps when elected in 2015? What future climate policy problems will occur because low-income Canadians who heat with gas and oil have no help?

I'm part of the Affordability Action Council calling for "all in" solutions that meet basic needs and help the climate "Retrofitting lower income homes to be more efficient supports broader carbon emission reduction goals and lowers the cost of living." thestar.com/opinion/contri…

During a recent Q&A with grade 5 students visiting city hall I was asked about the use of artificial spiderwebs as Halloween decorations. I've learned that they are death traps for small birds that protect themselves from predators in hedges. Please don't use these products and I strongly encourage retailers to stop selling this stuff. spca.bc.ca/news/wildlife-…

Similarly when you go to the Fortis home energy calculator and compare a heat pump with a condensing gas furnace, Fortis selects a lower efficiency heat pump that would not typically be chosen to heat a home year round (often called cold climate). It makes gas look like the lower operating cost system. Which is not correct.

@WayfairCanada how do in get off your mailing list? I know your website and don’t need a paper flyer mailed to me. It’s a waste of many of our natural resources.

The federal NDP is calling for an end to immigration detention — except for people who pose a danger to the public — after Radio-Canada/CBC reporting revealed that thousands of foreign nationals are detained each year with no release date. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
