I just signed to add my support - will you?
Isn’t it time we restructure our economy so it actually works for most of us, not just for the “elite” few?

I had a dream last night. In the midst of #COVID19 hysteria & lockdown - the people organized. One by one, ensuring every building was empty, the most egregious corporations & financial institutions were erased from the Earth. Blown to smithereens. People rejoiced. Birds sang.
Exactly - when all is said and done is “business as usual” really going to resume? Will they give us our freedoms back or will we have to fight all over again to take them?

"When pressed, the spokesperson said rail blockades in opposition to a #naturalgas#pipeline through traditional #Indigenous land in British Columbia played a role in the investor's decision." #WetsuwetenSolidarity
@LGJanetAustin@RogersShelagh Thanks to the indoctrination of capitalistic patriarchy.
No more cow-towing to men or their power-hungry corporate interests. We need to organize as communities, call each other out, check our egos and begin the unravelling of the oppressive system we are complicit in every day.
Our feminism is inclusive of:
✅ Women with disabilities
✅ Indigenous women
✅ Women of colour
✅ Low-income women
✅ Immigrant + refugee women
✅ Women of all ages
✅ The LGBTQ2S+ community
You too? We'd love to see you March 7th: https://t.co/et1P3zrm6y
On #WomensDay, in closing remarks, @janephilpott advocates for 3 new areas of statutory coverage in 🇨🇦
1-Comprehensive Primary care
2-Mental health
3-Home care
Noteworthy that current caregiving burden gaps often delivered as emotional (unpaid) labour by... women.
#CHSPR2020
She ended with saying that, above all else, Canada needs fair and accessible health care for all. Without the Canada Health Care Act, the most vulnerable group with suffer.
Long-time inspiration @janephilpott giving the closing keynote on the Canada Health Act at #CHSPR2020, also no big deal but @Puglaas (Jody Wilson-Raybould) is also in the room. Two of the strongest and most inspiring women I have looked up to for some time 💪🏼
Day 2 #CHSPR2020 conference has been rich with thoughtful discussions on health policy. An honour to take in thought provoking words of @janephilpott.

@elleprovocateur Colonial settlers, such as myself, have a lot to learn!
Time to get a grip and get off our westernized, capitalistic high-horse to make some meaningful change...or better yet, get out of the way of our #indigenous sisters/brothers to show us how it’s done.
"Although the worlds 7.6 billion people rep. only 0.01% of all living things by weight, humans have already caused the loss of 83% of all wild mammals & half of all plants"
Again: #Indigenous, less than 5% of population, manage 25% land & support approx. 80% all biodiversity.
