Just received the second call in 6 weeks from #SHOPPERSDRUGMART Pharmacy to “review” my prescriptions - it’s a SCAM to unnecessarily bill OHIP, about a $100 per call. STOP IT!!! Stop wasting our public healthcare dollars. Another Galen Weston scheme to siphon off public $$$.

Metro Vancouver is back to 90% ridership. Their secret? Expanding service, bus priority infrastructure, and more para trips. They too want federal funding, but for a plan to double service in the next decade, not to cover a self imposed budget deficit. dailyhive.com/vancouver/tran…
... namely: the incredible and constantly increasing cost of land, our near-total reliance on homes built by huge, profit-driven companies, and the increasing financialization of housing (its treatment as a financial asset within often huge investment portfolios). 18/18
We will be there. Hope you will too.

Lot of people out for #CriticalMass Ottawa on a cold and wet Saturday morning.
Who exactly is asking for a "new right to live in encampments"? Ppl in encampments don't want to be evicted from them when there's nowhere to go. No long term adequate affordable housing. For that reason they've used the courts for the right to remain until appropriate housing…
100% “…the answer is not a new right to live in encampments... it will be yet another Band-Aid that confines vulnerable people to perpetual misery … We need to give them a right to decent housing.” ottawacitizen.com/opinion/column…

Can we have a serious national conversation: house prices would either need to sink to half their current costs, or stagnate while average income doubled, to ever be affordable again. One of the many reasons to make rental more family-friendly & secure albertacentral.com/intelligence-c…
Nobody wants to live in a tent if there’s adequate housing available. All three levels of govt refuse to enable adequate hsg so here we are. ottawacitizen.com/news/tent-city…
Fed Housing Advocate @HousingLogement has pulled the alarm. Homeless encampments aren't just a local issue. Fed housing Minister @SeanFraserMP must roll up his sleeves + use fed spending + convening powers to create a plan to solve this. Read it here: housingchrc.ca/en/publication…
.@HousingLogement's latest report on encampments serves as a stark indictment of our broken housing & homelessness systems. It highlights the dire conditions encampment residents face daily & calls for a National Encampments Response Plan by Aug. 31, 2024. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…
It was only in October when a man with a history of domestic violence murdered his children in Sault Ste Marie. As in this case the police said there's no risk to the public. But of course there is, unless we actually do something about family violence

Workers have left pylons lying around, torn apart pieces of tarp, coffee cups. There's debris down the hills beside the Queensway and all along Catherine Street where the exits are blocked.2/
Yes, the Tracy Chapman / Luke Combs performance mattered because it was a connection across supposed divides, but it also mattered because Combs embodied unbridled joy, admiration,and respect for Chapman, something we see FAR too rarely when these sorts of bridges are celebrated.
We need an end to the first past the post system. What happens when an extreme minority are in control? In Alberta, it puts the most vulnerable at risk.
The media using "Ottawa" as a stand-in for Parliament, the federal Liberals, etc not only enabled the convoy to throw the residents of Ottawa under the bus, it contributes to general apathy towards the very real issues affecting the *city* of Ottawa.
I wish all reporters & politicians got this basic fact. Without enough nonmarket housing, you get homelessness + need that market rental can’t meet. Without enough well-located market rental, you get sprawl & 2 paycheques that can’t afford a family. Start there.

We know people are feeling the impact of high costs and inflation. When people are faced with unanticipated financial challenges, @BCRentBank can help. For 20,000 people - this new funding can mean the difference between having a safe home or losing it. vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/01/31/bc-…
1/The proposed gender identity legislation announced by the provincial government today is an infringement on human rights, including the rights of trans kids and supportive parents who are navigating a difficult journey.
I am once again reminding you that if trans kids are uncomfortable talking about gender with their parents, their parents are part of the problem.
When my daughter came out, I was thrilled (and reassured) that she felt she could do so with Mom and Dad. What I didn't have -- and still don't have -- as a father is a *right* to know. This is a bad idea. globalnews.ca/news/10255444/…
