Do my best to be hopeful, positive and bring joy and awesomeness to every moment. In the words of Ted Lasso, it’s never wrong to do the right thing, and be curious, not judgemental. Go Raptors! #Raptors #BlueJays #CovidIsNotOver #NeverVoteConservative

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.
They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.
They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.
There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

The philosopher invited me
to attend her lecture
on applied ethics
and as I sat in the audience
waiting for it to begin
a man sat down nearby
and asked me why
I was wearing a mask,
and before I could stop myself
I told him:
“I’m applying ethics.”

New hip insult you'll be hearing everywhere soon:
"Was this made by Al?"
Especially effective when mentioned while watching a film (especially a big budget one) or listening to the new release of a song (preferably by a big pop star).

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

This. Not only this, but that enriching the O&G companies, the mining companies, the real estate developers etc all in the name of "nation building" is utter nonsense. They're getting richer on OUR backs & we AREN'T seeing a return from that. Time for the low/middle class to benefit from this govt.

It's time to talk about income inequality in Canada. We can't build a truly democratic nation when so many people are relying on food banks and can't afford where they live.

Note that the hydro increase is another Ford broken promise. He’s trying to hide it by using your tax dollars to pay for it, so your bill doesn’t look so bad by the time it hits your inbox or snail mail.
“His system is now forcing a massive $6.5-billion hidden tax to cover the costs,” he said. “He didn't deliver a cut; he engineered a colossal shell game to keep his broken promise from appearing on your bill."

This hydro rate subsidy is giving the people who have the most the biggest break.
Billionaires like Galen Weston don’t need a break on their electricity bills when Ford says the govt doesn’t have money for affordable housing, healthcare and education.
