@UrsulaPflug @Howl895Fm Thanks for sharing, but all of our #birdburiedpress poetry titles are sold out! The only upcoming title I have right now is actually my own short story, "Scrap". - It's part of the origin of the main character from "33 Raz Street" in the "Food of My People" anthology.

Video from @SierraClubACC by a group of young women studying #ClimateChange & #Sustainability: "#ifeelangry about the state of the world. Use the hashtag #ifeel to tell us how you feel. Is there anything that makes you feel better when you think about climate anxiety?" #CDNpoli

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

@AlissaPax Great question Alissa. Tough to answer in brief, but... 1) Start w/ why am I running-key question; 2) Relationship building w/ supporters et al; 2) Manage expectations-your own & others; 3) Reach out to other community leaders & have an honest chat How best to help? Mentor!

As a backpacker I have a deep love for @WildRockPtbo, and it makes me soooo proud of them to see their continued support of the #ptbo community! #HarmReduction

We would love to give a huge shoutout to @WildRockPtbo! Wild Rock's recently donated $5,000 to the Light the Way to $160K campaign. The campaign is raising funds to renovate the location that will host a range of wraparound services, addressing the opioid crisis in our community.

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.

Great second reading of #BillC273 by @JulieDzerowicz, but I echo the concerns expressed by @LeahGazan. - The language needs to be amended to protect other social programs. Watching the livestream of the debate in the #HouseOfCommons now... #cdnpoli #BasicIncome

Have you noticed these posters around downtown? With funding from New Stages Peterborough, Justin Million of the Show and Tell Poetry Series curated a series of poems from five local writers and then printed them and posted them. (Designed by @makingPTBO) Try to find them all!

Never been more scared walking in the downtown then I was just now. Knowing that a bunch of completely uncaring fools are just down the road from me is terrifying. #StayHome

@MikePMoffatt @LeahGazan @JulieDzerowicz I don't support a #UBI. It is founded in a misguided idea of equality, when what we need is equity. I'm wary of this type of support as well.

@MikePMoffatt @LeahGazan @JulieDzerowicz That said, discussing possible savings from a BIG is a strategic push to engage people who buy into the myth that investing in people is too costly. We need support from all sides. It's not my agenda, but it's one we have to work with.

@MikePMoffatt @LeahGazan @JulieDzerowicz Financing a basic income guarantee should be done primarily through a much needed and obscenely overdue wealth tax. The wealth gap is out of control and must be addressed.

@MikePMoffatt @LeahGazan @JulieDzerowicz In short, while I disagree completely with your general stance on a basic income, I agree wholeheartedly that this Bill is flawed and needs work before I will throw my support behind it.

@MikePMoffatt @LeahGazan @JulieDzerowicz It is a principle of the basic income guarantee we advocate for that no one should be worse off as a result of the program. I would like to see this embedded in Bill C-273 as well.
