"Hands Off!" Protests Sweep Nation Against GOP Attacks on Rights and Democracy

Published on: 4/6/2025

On April 5th, nationwide protests called "Hands Off!" will take place in response to what organizers call the "Trump-Musk coup" and Republican attacks on rights, services, and democracy. The protest follows the overturning of Roe v. Wade and aims to counter the Republican's "Project 2025" plan which seeks to further restrict reproductive rights. The GOP's actions have led to increasing limitations on essential healthcare like birth control, miscarriage management, and medication abortion. With a potential national abortion ban looming, organizers urge mobilization against these restrictions.

Understand Your Carbon Tax Rebates: How Canada's CCR Works

The Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) is a tax-free amount for eligible individuals and families to offset the cost of the federal pollution pricing. It consists of a basic amount plus a supplement for residents of small and rural communities. Carbon pricing, achieved through a carbon tax, encourages companies and households to reduce pollution by investing in cleaner technologies and greener practices. This is done through levies that are not designed to generate government revenue and industrial pricing. Studies show carbon pricing shifts job types rather than reducing the total number of jobs. While some argue it increases living costs, its impact is less than 1/20th of overall price increases. Similar systems like cap-and-trade also indirectly price carbon, encouraging climate-friendly choices. The CCR payments are issued on April 15th, July 15th, October 15th, and January 15th. To claim the rural supplement, individuals must check a box on page 2 of their income tax return. Direct deposit recipients will also receive payments via direct deposit.
