I am one of 193 @PeelSchools teachers that lost their permanent job today. (At eight months pregnant, no less.)

I am devastated for my colleagues, myself, but mostly my students. Because my students are incredible beyond words, and deserve much better than this. #onpoli #onted

Liberals looking at national basic income as way to help Canadians cope with job instability https://t.co/9Xbbe1ZNFs

[Canada Without Poverty @CWP_CSP]

"You judge me for having children, for needing assistance. You hate me for wanting the stability you take for granted. You force me to perform to prove my worth. Then you still deny me access to fair, affordable housing." Powerful, heartbreaking words.

Our friend, Ursula, asks questions of @mikeperry2015 on the Basic Income “wind down,” and the lawsuit underway. When ⁦@TomCoopster⁩ asks what Mike wants for Christmas, if course he wants Basic Income!

There's a lot of anxiety about the end of Ontario's #BasicIncome pilot, but today local participants had some fun, sang a song & shared a holiday meal. Thanks everybody for courage, passion & resilience in 2018!! We're not done yet! #onpoli #HamOnt

NHS Scotland report suggests over 1,000 premature deaths will be prevented by #BasicIncome over a 5-year period, and that it would be the most cost effective way of reducing early deaths when combined with top-up payments for disabled people.
