@marcmaron Just another reason to move to Vancouver, Canada! In the heart of East Vancouver, above the Legion on Commercial Drive @BoomProVan Boom Wrestling 🔥
Concerned citizens have crowdfunded this ad in the @VancouverSun today calling on you to fulfill your promise to protect old-growth @jjhorgan@bcndp. Don’t stand by as they are cut down. Defer logging of all at-risk old-growth now. #bcpoli#OldGrowth@standearth@wildernews
.@cafreeland Thanks for promising a #JustRecovery. Will you back up your beliefs by helping Canada transition to a low-carbon economy, restore land, freshwater, ocean ecosystems & protect wildlife? https://t.co/HcOtWD4Cfa @greenpeaceCA#cdnpoli

"When Toronto reopens, the city’s streetscapes might never look the same. The worst-case scenario is mom-and-pop shops and indie restaurants perish while chains and big box stores proliferate...But this is preventable" https://t.co/IIah1io4cd
Provinces are making *announcements* to re-open their economy and get businesses up and running again. The question remains, HOW CAN SMALL BUSINESSES AFFORD IT? @jjhorgan#wtfcanada@mary_ng@JustinTrudeau
time for a thread about how a single misunderstanding could possibly affect the livelihoods of many, many people: in this case, small Canadian businesses hoping to get rent relief from their landlords.
when Ottawa released the details for how tenants could get 75% rent relief through the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance program, they offered few details. Landlords and tenants didn’t know if it applied to base rent or gross rent. https://t.co/C9m26ZpA38
BC NDP apparently has called for an immediate moratorium on commercial-rent evictions. It's May 1st today, RENT IS DUE -WHERE ARE YOU? Is the real estate lobby more important to you than your largest collective employer in this province? Your jurisdiction, your responsibility.
@jonrshell Her article makes some interesting points about the "before profit costs" piece. Another huge deterrent for participation. Why on earth have they just not issued grants to tenants? Is the complicated nature of this by design? I'm beginning to wonder now.
@jonrshell Gutted by the silence from @bcndp on this. They know it's May 1 in less than 72 hours, right? @selinarobinson @GeorgeHeyman@Dave_Eby. Good response from constituency staff, true concern, but still no announcement. Shows lack of understanding of power dynamics at play.
