November 20th is National Child Day, to commemorate the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child to the UN General Assembly in 1989. Saskatchewan’s Advocate for Children and Youth challenges everyone to listen to what young people have to say. Corey O’Soup says youth live in a challenging time with social media that has taken bullying and abuse to a new level. In a report released by the Children’s Advocate last year about giving children a voice on the topic of suicide, O’Soup ask what children would need to have a good life. Their answers included a source of unconditional love in their families and communities, ending all forms of violence, enhanced safety and support, and regular investments in recreation, education and mental health services.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
