Almost half the world’s farmers are women.

On a global scale, women produce more than half of all the food that is grown.

It’s official – I’ve now tabled 🇨🇦’s first-ever legislation on a #GuaranteedBasicIncome in @HoCChamber!

Now the hard work begins to get Bill #C273 through the House of Commons with support from all sides! #cdnpoli

@sheilawalker73 @DustyRoseYYC We're wishing for equity & compassion for citizens living in poverty.
We're wishing for an end to homelessness.
We're wishing for an end to child poverty.
We're wishing for increased health & happiness.
We're wishing for an end to trauma inflicted by poverty.

@sheilawalker73 @DustyRoseYYC Exactly, at what cost?
Families, lives, dreams are okay to sacrifice?
#UBI can create equity by consolidating programs that already exist, reduce Poverty Inc (167,000 orgs spending $34B/year), decrease healthcare costs dramatically & many other systemic inefficiencies. #cdnpoli

@DonPadget @donnlovett @Forbes Why tf do we need a fighter jet?

We need #UBI.
We need universal #childcare.
We need to end #homelessness.
We need clean #water for FN communities.
We need #mentalhealth supports.
What we don’t need is a fucking war plane.

Do the @cityofcalgary's Governance, Land Use Bylaws, Zoning, Policy, Legislation, etc exclude, discriminate, marginalize or prevent the poor from participating fully in #YYC's economic, social & political activities?
Asking for 30%+ of Calgarians.

There's a #FarmersProtest happening in Germany.

But the German Govt didn’t block their path with barbed wires, dig highways or label them Anti-National. And neither did the Govt declare it an ‘internal matter’ where others can’t comment. I guess that’s how democracies work.

I hear a lot of people saying we shouldn’t give too much attention to the racist demonstration that took place in our city over the wknd because it’s giving these people air & attention they don’t deserve.

I disagree. #ableg

New food hub to strengthen food security in #Kamloops! The B.C. Government is investing up to $750,000 to purchase food-processing equipment & cover other startup costs in partnership with the @cityofkamloops & the Kamloops Food Policy Council: https://t.co/b7L9rLbSJi

@edmontonpolice @TaylorMadeYYC @CityofEdmonton This is an inhumane way to approach extreme poverty.

@nytimes "bureaucratic problems"

One of these words is redundant.

If Housing 1st is the model, why are we not embracing #Microhomes & #TinyHomes?

And if you wanted to rent that apartment you would need $2000 to occupy (1st month’s rent & DD).
This is why the affordable housing crisis is systemic abuse of our lower income citizens. #ableg @friendsofahrc #yyc
