Councillor @philallt.bsky.social and I were twinning tonight in our pink shirts in advance of #PinkShirtDay. Inclusion should be core. Don’t vote for bullies. They pick the easy targets and work their way up. We are seeing this in action in the States. Be better.

When a disabled person asks for an accommodation, the response shouldn't be:

You'll need to
- Meet with us for multiple unnecessary discussions.
- Run an advocacy campaign.
- Join a committee.
- Promote it for us and ensure it's popular.

Quit putting unpaid labour on us. Just do the thing.

Today I was proud to announce the Ontario Greens 2025 platform. Our Plan for Fairness puts people before politics.

Our plan will build 2 million homes that people can afford in the communities they love without paving over prime farmland and the places we love.

Seeing a lot of people on other sites say this is the first time they've seen so many Canadians on the same page since the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and sharing the absolute banger that was its theme song. Here's the final montage from those 2 weeks. Chills, still.

Corporate lobbyists are wining-and-dining Pierre Poilievre at exclusive clubs where memberships cost $20,000. And how will the Conservatives return the favour?

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.
