Mending The Scars

We know the news cycle is a lot. So this week, we're doing something about it.In this episode of Canadian Salad, Andrea and Hostion bring you six stories of real, hard-won progress — from Scotiabank fully divesting from Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems after years of sustained public pressure, to the Musqueam First Nation signing landmark land rights agreements with the federal government after a decade of negotiations.They also cover Brazil's indigenous communities successfully blocking the privatization of three Amazon rivers, the first Inuit university coming to Nunavut by 2030, the Washoe Tribe reclaiming 10,000 acres near Lake Tahoe, and Croatia's extraordinary 31-year journey to becoming landmine-free.Plus: the science-backed 5:1 good news ratio your brain needs, a quiz about the Canada Lynx, and the story of how Andrea got played by a guitar player. Literally.This is a dose of good news we all need.Go to https://www.canadiansalad.ca/ for all sources cited in this episode.
