I was on the receiving end of a no-fault eviction this summer in St. John's. It was one of the single most stressful things that has ever happened to me. Renters in this province need more protection. If you follow your lease terms, you shouldn't suddenly find yourself without a place to call home.
📢 Renters in Newfoundland deserve better!

Hi. It's the 210th reminder.
My aunt knit me a sweater for Christmas last year and it's one of few handmade things I've received that were made *for me* and I just want to say I feel so happy when I wear it!!!
It's criminal that we undervalue women's labour contributions because they so often are the ones giving handmade gifts

If you watch something today please take time to watch my thoughts on the crisis facing Canadian democracy.
We are in deeply uncertain times and parliament is failing to step up beyond dumbed down partisanship.
Democracy is not meeting the crisis of the time.

It's 11:23pm & we just secured a GST Tax Break!
For 2 months there’ll be no GST/HST on kid's clothes, diapers & other essentials.
Poilievre tried to block it — we defeated him.
For the record an NDP govt would make this a permanent tax cut

the independent does such incredible work. if you can, please consider supporting their latest project: a documentary about preventable fishing fatalities in NL.
Leila Beaudoin and the Indy are making a documentary film about why the number of deaths in NL's commercial fisheries isn't declining even though most are preventable.
