LPRC board member @GlenPearson cuts through the fog to see what we really need to look out for! A transition needs to focus on a #greenandjust recovery, the alternative is deep recession and expanded inequality/polarization. https://t.co/vg1QIhO3AT

#SocialProcurement in action in the construction industry. Through cross-sector collaboration, minorities have access to jobs ensuring that the buying power of anchor institutions keeps the money local while addressing social issues. #inclusiveeconomy

Amsterdam implements the doughnut model to integrate environment and economy. The model is derived from United Nations' #SDGs. The inner ring of her donut sets out the minimum we need to lead a good life. The outer ring represents the ecological ceiling https://t.co/Z53fxduiCc

People are asking questions that have until now lurked on the margins. What should we do about the homeless? In Third World slums? The unemployed? Who cannot work from home? Finally, ideas like student debt relief and universal basic income are blossoming. https://t.co/FfczjN5SsK

You might have read that recently, Ontario's Bill 66 (Restoring Ontario's Competitiveness Act, 2019) has received Royal Assent. This will jeopardize the rights of employees. For a detailed breakdown of what changes will take effect, visit https://t.co/xnLm1ntLQn

I'm imagining a political campaign that includes:
1. Buck a beer
2. Increase corporate taxes
3. Tailgate parties
4. Free post secondary tuition

What do you think?

Sometimes when you go to Ottawa, you meet some people you should know. #broadbent2019 lots of energy for building new economy and community practices.

Have you watched our documentary on #PrecariousWork in #LdnON, yet? It illuminates some of the major challenges Londoners are currently facing when it comes to precarious work, lack of #DecentWork, and #Poverty. https://t.co/dqLgffWCxJ

Cities and Inequality discussion. Speakers from Toronto, Halifax, and Montreal sharing common struggle with Air BnB as a driver of the housing crisis. 22000 units in Toronto. How many in London? Do we need to address this in London? @LdnHomeless @A_H_London #Broadbent2019

[Michael Courey @MichaelCourey1]

@LdnCommFdn @ldnprc Thanks for having me. It was a real pleasure and a great conversation that followed.

[LPRC @ King's @ldnprc]

Where does the buck stop with social housing in London? Especially for the @lmhousingcorp the largest social housing provider in the region and OWNED by the City of London.

[Josh Morgan @JoshMorganLDN]

The report that outlines the $230million repair bill is a 2015 report and is out of date. The number is likely much higher now.

This is absolutely a crisis w/ our housing stock (which doesn’t even come close to meeting demand)

What a great night!

Thank you so much to all the @OntarioPCParty supporters who joined us for the 2019 Toronto Leader's Dinner.

Ontario finally has a government for the people, and we will continue delivering on our promise to always put the people of this great province first.

Starting to think about how to bring environmental and economic justice movements together. How are we doing in London? #rootcauses
