A Guaranteed Livable Basic Income is proven to reduce poverty, empower people living with disabilities, and serve as a powerful tool in eliminating gender-based violence, for which Indigenous women and girls are most targeted.

Get in touch with Mayor Olivia Chow if you believe that Toronto should congratulate, thank, and celebrate the #BlueJays with a parade.

1/ I haven't covered Lindsay Shepherd much since moving to BlueSky, so here's a thread from September 2024.

This is BC Conservative Party's Director at Large Lindsay Shepherd with George Hutcheson of the white nationalist Students for Western Civilization. Faith Goldy is in the background.
Screenshot of a Facebook post from Against Your Ward News - Against Neo-Fascism dated March 20, 2018. There is a photo of George Hutcheson, Lindsay Shepherd, and Faith Goldy walking to an event. Text says: Here's lindsay shepherd of Laurier Society for Open Inquiry standing with neo-nazi and "white students union" founder George Hutcheson at tonight's disrupted racist speaking event at Laurier [Laurier University]. Just a "neutral Liberal" or whatever huh?

So Canadians who relied on Novavax bc they can’t tolerate mRNA (eg it makes long Covid symptoms worse) are left without any protection again. Another Year. After 5+ years of isolating. After no safe healthcare bc no one wears N95s.

🇨🇦refusing to protect the med vulnerable is absolutely cruel

Confirming @molliebryant.bsky.social. No idea of why—accident? "memory hole?"—but right now (8:55am PDT. Aug 6) sections of the Constitution appear to be missing from the official Congressional site. Including those about habeus corpus.

During the election, my colleague Erin and I represented a coalition of feminist groups across Canada asking each leader for their commitment to ending GBV.

This is the response we received from Carney and his team. If you need fodder for your complaint letters to them about cuts to WAGE!
Dear Erin Lee and Julie Lalonde, Thank you for your letter on behalf of the coalition of anti-gender-based violence advocates and survivors. The Liberal Party of Canada has a long and proud history of advancing equality and defending the rights of women and gender-diverse people. Around the world, progress is being rolled back – on women’s rights, on gender equity, and on the safety and dignity of those who have fought for generations to be heard and protected. Under a new Liberal government led by Mark Carney, these rights will never be compromised. We are committed to ending gender-based violence. A Mark Carney government will continue investments in the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence. This investment will support victims and survivors, prevent violence before it happens, and ensure that Indigenous-led approaches are prioritized in partnership. We recognize that gender-based violence increases in times of crisis and that racialized women and women living in rural and remote communities face disproportionately high rates of violence. Keeping Canada safe means keeping every Canadian safe, no matter who they are or where they live. We will protect victims of sexual violence and intimate partner violence by: • Making murder motivated by hate a constructive first-degree offence, including femicide. • Make it a criminal offence to distribute non-consensual sexual deepfakes. • Increase penalties for the distribution of intimate images without consent and sexual assault on summary conviction. We also believe that women’s economic empowerment is essential to building safer and more equitable communities. That is why we will increase support for the Women’s Economic and Leadership Opportunities Fund, which invests in projects that promote women’s economic security and prosperity. We know that a strong economy must be one where women can access high-paying jobs, receive equal pay for equal work, and rise without systemic barriers holding them back. For more details on these plans and additional commitments from the Liberal Party of Canada, please see our Platform. Thank you again for your letter. A new government led by Mark Carney will remain committed to consultation, partnership, and action so that we make meaningful progress to ending gender-based violence and build a safer, more equal future together. Sincerely, The Liberal Party of Canada

I am begging Canadians to take this seriously. If PP won and was enacting all these right-wing things, you'd be giving him so much shit for it. Please stand for Canada and First Nations, for each other, not for blind loyalty to a banker. If you believe in Carney, demand he do better. #cdnpoli

This is a really good piece on Kier Starmer’s error. One would think that the division of the right into two competing parties would be a welcome development allowing him to govern from principle. Not his flaky predecessor’s principle but real Labour. Instead he’s repeatedly practiced appeasement
thebulwark.com The Bulwark @thebulwark.com · Jul 10
"To meet an ever more radical right halfway, the Labour Party has had to take on much, much more illiberal positions than anything countenanced previously." Moderation can become appeasement, and appeasement can become affirmation. A warning from the UK:
When Moderation Becomes Appeasement
If your chief goal is to find a middle ground with the far right on social issues, you’ll end up condoning its values—just ask Keir Starmer.
