We need big changes in this country, changes the Liberals and Conservatives won't ever support.
A Guaranteed Livable Basic Income would be life-changing.
The NDP under my leadership will champion a GLBI and deliver for Canadians what the Conservatives and Liberals never would.

A Guaranteed Livable Basic Income (GLBI) is essential for youth leaving care. @kpateonthehill.bsky.social advocates for Bill S-206 to provide them financial stability during this crucial transition.

Have any of you clicked the #MutualAid tag here recently?
Not only is it loaded with requests for help, some of them are heartbreaking beyond words. 😔
This is awful.
So many people would benefit from #UBI / #GLBI
Help us support the cause. share.nwmd.social/s/2MQgtTgW

With poverty rising, Canadians cannot afford more empty promises. 1/3

We're encouraged by initiatives exploring basic income options across Yukon, PEI, BC and other provinces and territories. Their leadership shows that ending poverty is not only possible – it’s practical, necessary, and long overdue. 3/3

Allowing this to continue is a choice. Indigenous Peoples didn't have poverty or homelessness before colonisation. Many unhoused people are Residential School Survivors who have never been supported properly by cdn public services. "Housing first" + #glbi works well and is cheaper.

To be clear, more policing can not create safety. Violence (including police brutality) increases with inequality. Canada must start meeting people's basic needs for housing, healthcare, and education, + other inequality-reducing measures like a guaranteed livable basic income. 2/2
#glbi
Policing can't protect us from hate. History + current events show us these types of laws are not used on yt supremacists, only to attack BIPOC. A guaranteed livable basic income + other inequality-reducing measures would actually work.

"[T]he ban didn’t apply to commercial operators in the province’s woodlands ..."
Individual responsibility is killing us. A legitimate gov't would protect the public, rather than blame us while protecting industry.
Additionally, co-ops are great, and a #GLBI is needed.

"VPD’s own researchers [found] the decline [in stranger assaults] was likely due to factors outside the department’s control..."
Police brutality can not create safety, only meeting people's needs can create safety. A #glbi would contribute more to safety than any police dept. #cdnpoli #vanpoli
As far as taxation is concerned, we only need to collect enough taxes to pay for #UBI (eventually #GLBI) and education, healthcare and infrastructure. Is that so much for society to ask for.
Capitalism requires a slavery class of workers. Remember, you are closer to being unhoused than you are to being a millionaire. #cdnpoli #glbi
That type of prevention is better done by community members who know the kids in the neighbourhood, not by armed men trained to see criminality everywhere. With a #GLBI, we'd have more opportunity to be present/participate in our communities.
Neither police force can prevent crime or create safety. Safety/crime prevention would be possible if the government used the $8.3 billion surplus to increase and expand evidence-based healthcare and education, and to create a provincial #GLBI and/or fund housing as a human right. #abpoli
Remember the peo0le who said AI wouldn’t take away jobs?
The current AI is absolute shit at actually doing real work… but they are cutting jobs anyway.
Oh, and we went from a Liberal Canadian government that at least has a Universal Basic Income on their radar… to one that is going to cut 1000s […]
As research continues to demonstrate, GLBI is not only feasible — it’s a smart, compassionate investment in people and in our collective future.

Current welfare accounts can close, threatening you with losing what little you have.
#BasicIncome / #UBI / #GLBI doesn't do this. Your account stays.
It makes work actually pay.
