Alright then! If you’re thinking of running next year & want to chat, I’d love to talk campaign strategies. I’ve worked on several winning PTBO municipal campaigns and more (losing) fed/prov ones. My skills are around voter contact & database management. Shoot me a DM

Reminder: A decent wage is health. Paid sick leave is health. Overtime pay is health. Safe work conditions is health. Non-precarious employment is health. Benefits is health.
This Labour Day & every day, let's remember that every worker, everywhere, deserves the right to health.

A guaranteed basic income for all Canadians is now a top policy choice of many Liberal MPs.
The caucus wants it presented as a top resolution at the party's national convention in November.
We speak with Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith @beynate #cdnpoli

"Although this program would be beneficial to all, for artists it could be truly transformational. For too long, our right to live has been tied up with our productivity, and art... has not been viewed as productive." -@makingPTBO

The best way to get decent work for all is to stop threatening workers with starvation if they refuse low wage jobs with poor working conditions. A BI would force low wage employers to clean up their act — as Mincome showed. Wages increased.

At last week's Board of Health meeting, @Ptbohealth endorsed the idea of transitioning #CERB and other COVID-19 emergency income supports into legislation for basic income.

In Canada, the longstanding organized Canada wide basic income movement advocates for an income tested basic income (BIG) which we judge to be more suitable to the Canadina context than a universal demogrant program. It's really important for all Canadians to understand that.
