Alright then! If you’re thinking of running next year & want to chat, I’d love to talk campaign strategies. I’ve worked on several winning PTBO municipal campaigns and more (losing) fed/prov ones. My skills are around voter contact & database management. Shoot me a DM

Join Nourish for an evening of stories this Thursday Sept. 30th at 7PM. This virtual event will give you the chance to learn more about the experiences of others and challenge the stigma they face. Register now: nourishproject.ca/virtual-storyt…
Gearing up for our bookmaking marathon on Sept. 24th, and we need YOUR input! Watch the video for details.
Join @NourishNews, @BasicIncomePtbo, and @KPRETFO for the #PTBO Book Launch of "The Case for Basic Income: Freedom, Security, Justice"! Wednesday September 15th, 4PM - 6PM at @silverbeancafe. Featuring authors Jamie Swift & Elaine Power, and music by the Chester Babcock Trio.
Reminder: A decent wage is health. Paid sick leave is health. Overtime pay is health. Safe work conditions is health. Non-precarious employment is health. Benefits is health. This Labour Day & every day, let's remember that every worker, everywhere, deserves the right to health.
Great second reading of #BillC273 by @JulieDzerowicz, but I echo the concerns expressed by @LeahGazan. - The language needs to be amended to protect other social programs. Watching the livestream of the debate in the #HouseOfCommons now... #cdnpoli #BasicIncome
Have you noticed these posters around downtown? With funding from New Stages Peterborough, Justin Million of the Show and Tell Poetry Series curated a series of poems from five local writers and then printed them and posted them. (Designed by @makingPTBO) Try to find them all!
Never been more scared walking in the downtown then I was just now. Knowing that a bunch of completely uncaring fools are just down the road from me is terrifying. #StayHome

Thank you @HuffPostCanada for stating the difference between a #BasicIncomeGuarantee and a #UBI! I would really appreciate it if the fact checkers at @thewalrus would have a look at this, as well as writer @maxfawcett. The language is important & we all need to get it right.

I wrote to @walrusmagazine awhile ago about @maxfawcett's #BasicIncome article that conflated a #UBI and a #BIG. Today I finally got my hands on the issue my letter is in... Here is what they used versus what I wrote:
A guaranteed basic income for all Canadians is now a top policy choice of many Liberal MPs. The caucus wants it presented as a top resolution at the party's national convention in November. We speak with Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith @beynate #cdnpoli cbc.ca/news/politics/…
