We are saddened to hear about the passing of the Hon. Hugh Segal. We were honoured to host him in 2020 right before the pandemic hit for a talk about universal basic income. Among many achievements, he helped design the short-lived Ontario Basic Income Pilot in 2016. #HamOnt
We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of former Senator Hugh Segal - a lifelong advocate for basic income and friend of BICYN 💜 Hugh was incredibly generous with his time and expertise, always willing to lend a hand to support the new generation of basic income advocates.

If it’s a helpful reminder, here’s what 2023 funding for housing and homelessness from all 3 levels of government looked like. Hamilton is doing more than both other levels of government combined. It’s heartbreaking and there’s no end in sight.
Really excited to celebrate the release of the PEI report alongside advocates in PEI and across the country!! Congrats especially to our friends with PEI Working Group for a Livable Income and Coalition Canada! 🥳

Cheers to another incredible #HamOnt Farm Crawl in Flamborough today!
There are excellent people, and even better reporters, sales people and digital experts who will be losing their jobs. And to rub salt into the wound Metroland will not pay out any severances. For me it is 24 years in Hamilton. (I have worked in this business since 1989). #HamOnt
A dark day for Hamilton journalism. Metroland decides in a short, brutal announcement it will close all print community news. All employees will lose their jobs by Dec. 31. There will be no local news in Hamilton, or across Ontario. It is a stab in the back. #HamOnt
This is just brutal. My heart aches for all the people out of work thestar.com/news/canada/me…
I wish I had more to share about the mass layoffs at Metroland this morning — but I don’t. My heart is broken for my affected colleagues who have worked so hard to keep their communities informed under increasingly trying circumstances. Local news is so vital. This is awful.
It’s been a few weeks since my last radio show, but I promised it wouldn’t be the last you’d heard of me. As of Sept 12, you’ll be able to tune in to The Bill Kelly Podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts every Tuesday and Thursday from now on. Thanks for your support!
“There is such an increase of violence against people who are actively on the streets,” said McNally. “It’s ongoing, but I see it more and more. There’s just so much hatred and dehumanization of people who are unhoused.” beta.ctvnews.ca/local/toronto/…
Thanks to our friends at CBC! Like our union, they're fighting hard against precarious work in public broadcasting. I was a temp at CBC before I became a temp at TVO. If we want high-quality journalism at CBC and TVO, we need workplaces where people can thrive long-term.
Thank you, CBC Temp Collective (@cmg_to) for keeping our picket line well nourished today! The sandwiches are delish. #fundtvolikeitmatters @TVO_CMG
