We're excited to join @parkdalefoodcentre.bsky.social in celebrating Right to Food Day!

🎙️New episode of Appointed out now! In this most recent episode, I’m joined by the Honourable Iain Rankin, MLA and former Premier of Nova Scotia, for a timely conversation on poverty, dignity, and the push for a Guaranteed Livable Basic Income. Check out the episode here: lnkd.in/e7g2W2SE 1/3

We've created a series of educational zines to help explain how basic income could transform lives across Canada. Each zine breaks down complex ideas into clear, actionable information you can share in your community. For a copy, visit www.basicincomeyouth.ca/mini-zines or send us a message.

🌎⚖️ Canada is one of the richest countries & a major historic polluter. The Fair Shares Platform, backed by 35+ groups & thousands, calls on Canada to fund climate action, cancel unjust debts, tax polluters & reform trade rules. It's a plan for global climate justice. 🔗 350.org/canada/fairs...

Way to go @basicincomewr.bsky.social for hosting a great event!

Basic Income changes the story! We do not have to accept the way things are. Basic Income is not only possible, it is necessary for the future we deserve.

Join BIYC Member Elise and @basicincomewr.bsky.social tomorrow for political panel young adults.

On Wednesday I spoke at 2nd reading of Bill S-206 — a proposal to create a national framework for a Guaranteed Livable Basic Income (GLBI). Too many people are struggling to meet their most basic needs. It's time for Canada to invest in a system that leaves no one behind. #GLBI #PovertyReduction

Happy Pride Month ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 We are proud to celebrate our 2SLGBTQ+ members. Love and inclusion = solidarity!

CAN’T AFFORD CONSERVATIVE CUTS 🚫✂️ alright alright alright let’s get into some DETAILS!!! Today, we’re talkin about the Canada Workers Benefit (CWB), an important income security program that we want federal parties to commit to improving in their election platforms!!

Got questions about the election? The 2025 federal election is coming up fast — and your vote matters more than ever. UFCW Canada breaks down where the major parties stand on the issues that hit home for working families: affordable housing, cost of living, good jobs, healthcare, childcare, + more.

‼️Please add your name to our Solidarity Statement to demand that the incoming federal gov’t uphold their responsibility towards reproductive rights, autonomy, and justice‼️ Both orgs and individuals can sign. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Spammers are flooding TikTok with pro-Conservative content A new investigation from @pivot.quebec finds that a small number of mostly pro-Conservative accounts are responsible for 15% of comments on election-related videos

Less than a week left! We need to #RaiseTheBar and fight for affordable housing, bold climate solutions, and pulling the reins of corporate greed. No matter who becomes PM, we need progressive voices in Parliament speaking on behalf of everyday people. 💪 Join us: leadnow.ca/raise-the-bar/ #elxn45

What are the parties' visions for health care, child care, and the care economy? We broke down the stakes in this key—and, in this election, under-discussed—issue. By @kjscott.bsky.social @policyalternatives.ca #childcare #CareEconomy www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

"Most Canadians will receive only a few hundred dollars a year [in tax cuts]—hardly life-changing—while billions are spent. The question voters need to ask isn’t just “what do I get?” but “what gets cut to pay for it?” @davidmaccdn.bsky.social #federalelection2025 theclarion.ca/viewpoint/20...

#MotherEarthDay is a great time to sign the @350canada.bsky.social Don't Get Played pledge! dontgetplayed.ca #EarthDay #elbowsup

ARCC has a guide to see if the candidates in your riding are pro or anti-choice, check it out below. Let’s all work together to stop Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives from forming government and cutting funding to essential programs that folks rely on. #cdnpoli #election2025 #election #nocuts

CAN'T AFFORD CONSERVATIVE CUTS 🚫✂️ it's time to talk more details 😎 The Canada Child Benefit (CCB)CCB is one of the most important income support programs in Canada, and it shows how much of a difference unconditional cash can make for real people!!

we have some more posters and stickers to share, and we're especially looking for buddies who live in central parts of these cities who can help us post a poster or stick a sticker or two!! please DM us so we can mail u goodies asap :-)

The #CanadaDisabilityBenefit (CBD) is a new program for low-income disabled people in Canada. it is a flawed program (rates are too low, eligibility criteria too narrow, will be hard to access), but we want federal parties to commit to IMPROVING the CDB in their #election platforms!! 🚫✂️ #nocuts

MUST-READ from @sethdklein.bsky.social: www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/11/o... In this election, riding context is very important. No matter who becomes PM, we need to elect real progressive champions ready to stand with us. Both the Liberals and Conservatives will need to be held accountable.

Some of the biggest barriers to abortion access are financial - folks who happen to live far from urban centres/clinics, folks without insurance, folks who can't afford childcare or a day off work may struggle to access services - compounded by precarious SRH funding & inequitable policy. ⬇ ⬇ ⬇

Our posters are out in the world!!! Visit lnkd.in/g6TtqUXY to request posters + stickers, we'll even mail them for free. #basicincome #canada #poverty #elxn45 #youth #affordability #CdnPoli #cantaffordconservativecuts

Posters and stickers are in the mail - keep your eye out! Did you request yours already? You still got time, click the link in our bio and join us in saying NO TO CONSERVATIVE CUTS!!! Let’s vote for a future that’s economically just.

“Instead of saying... that you ‘feel for the 39-year-old woman, desperate to have kids but unable to buy a home in which to raise them, her biological clock running out, you just say, ‘I’m going to lower housing costs.’” thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

✂️ alright alright alright let's get into some DETAILS!!! today, we're talkin about old age security/guaranteed income supplement (OAS/GIS), an important income security program that we want federal parties to commit to improving in their election platforms!! #cdnpoli #election2025 #election #nocuts

As someone who has navigated the healthcare system as a sexual assault survivor with CPTSD, I can say with absolute certainty that INVESTMENT in public mental healthcare is what Canadians desperately need right now. #cdnpoli #onpoli #topoli #raisethebar @leadnowca.bsky.social

When access to birth control, abortion, or health care is out of reach, women and gender-diverse folks lose shifts, miss school, or are pushed out of work. That sets us back, financially and professionally. This Equal Pay Day, ask your MP: Are reproductive rights on the ballot? #womenvote

We've created posters + stickers with a clear message about our priorities for this federal #election. By putting posters up in your community, you're sharing a clear sign that you stand against cuts that would deepen poverty and reduce essential supports. Available at www.basicincomeyouth.ca/nocuts

Pierre is shady, #WhiteLotus edition.

This #election, we are looking for COMMITMENTS to maintain and improve income supports. Check out BIYC's commitment tracker, updated as new promises are made, to see who is actually going to keep money in your hands (psssssst: it ain't PP and the Conservatives 👀) #cdnpoli tinyurl.com/5n7yx38f

It's election time, and every party is making big promises for tax cuts and cash programs for Canadians. Economist @davidmaccdn.bsky.social has crunched the numbers to see how they would impact federal finances. @policyalternatives.ca #cdnpoli www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...
