I wish I could have the job of all the people who set up the scenes and photographed I Spy books.

@TransLink if masks are becoming mandatory on transit, why have I seen most riders wearing masks, but not a single Translink employee working in a skytrain station wearing one? You'd think you want to set the example...

Kirsten from Hamilton is an EA for students with special needs

Her school is closed & doesn’t qualify for the wage subsidy

With the CERB ending in July, she has no way to put food on the table for her family

The PM must extend the CERB for families like Kirsten’s who need help

Whether you're in America or here at home in Canada I need you to hear this:

Black lives matter.
Indigenous lives matter.
Justice matters.

And we must demand it.

George Floyd 💔
Regis Korchinski-Paquet 💔
Stewart Kevin Andrews 💔

And in memory of too many others.

Many of us are feeling a lot of pain right now.

Anti-Black and Indigenous racism aren’t a coincidence.

They are decades of policies that have systematically undervalued human life - by design.

Colonialism. Underfunding. Social exclusion. Poverty.

The Minister says under the government’s program for big businesses, CEO bonuses will be capped at a million dollars

A million dollars

That is outrageous

A million dollars would help so many workers

Public money should go to workers, not to make CEOs richer

This just in I was in H&M getting some shorts and boxers for Ethan and the person that checked me out didn't use gendered terms throughout the whole checkout process and I thanked them for it because it made me feel so validated. It's the little things.

[MILK @bigandmilky]

can I again bring up the idea that we stop saying ‘hi guys’ when addressing a group of people which includes women, trans, & GNC people? like I honesty don’t get it. if you support progress within our community, it’s about time for us to adjust our language. it’s been time tbh 🌈

1.4 million jobless Canadians are still unable to get help from the CERB.

This is wrong.

Despite forcing the Liberals to expand the CERB, it's clear, too many people are falling through the cracks.

We've said from the beginning:

The CERB should help EVERYONE who needs it.

Update on my dad accepting my pronouns: he just called me an emotional little creature and this is progress thank you for coming to my Ted talk

[Jagmeet Singh @theJagmeetSingh]

It’s simple.

New Democrats believe that the best way to make sure everyone who needs help gets it, is to make the Canada Emegency Response Benefit universal.

So that everyone who needs help can apply and get $2,000 a month right away.
