Dear Disabled Peeps
If you got temporary monthly emergency aid of $2500 would you wait for Billc22 to have protective legislation added to it before it passes?

@BonitaZarrillo
Thats $2500 ON TOP of your provincial or cccd. That way the #derb check wud likely cover rent in most places in Canada leaving u still with 100% prov/cd to spend on other bills and to catch up on stuff u couldn't afford ie, dentures home care etc
No claw back .all ages
Its gotta
Be significant as we are soooo far below poverty level. As most ppl wud be able to pay market rent it gets some 40% of homeless into homes
We deserve 2 live with dignity, whatever it takes 2 b integrated into society not segregated. So 4 me I want the $2500 on top of odsp

It has been a week since Amélie Duranleau and I gave our testimony for @lasqdi in front of the HUMA committee , regarding #C22. While we will publish a brief next week (in both languages), let's do a quick recap of what we told members of the committee (long thread):
1. #C22 needs to be passed NOW. Do not amend it, do not add details, let's figure it out later in the regulatory process.
2. The Québec experience on working on the new Basic Income Program in the province proves it is possible to conduct a successful regulatory process with PWD organizations.

Just caught up on today’s #HUMA committee on #CDB. I am so impressed by the united message from the disability community - we need benefit so desperately. I was shocked to hear testimony from one of the witnesses 20 years ago ODSP was sufficient for a disabled person … 1/🧵
… to rent housing, albeit at the lowest end of the market. Now, they’re $1k off. That’s so awful - we have lost so much. To hear @samuelragot talk of individualization is so important. Disabled people deserve that dignity of their own money, just like everyone else. 2/🧵
We seem to be stuck in this loop, however, of timelines, amendments, regulations. I will reiterate my thoughts from Monday. We need bureaucracy to work in new ways. We cannot suck time away in old processes that exclude the voices of disabled people. I heard mention … 3/🧵

@ArmitageJim @premnsikka 1/ The curious case of “disguise, I see thou art a wickedness” [Viola, Twelfth Night]. PART 2/2 <‘the #Emoney shot’>, following on from PART 1 - (). V-Wallet (Europe) Ltd was FCA authorised as an #Emoney op in 11/2018, …
2/ renamed to #Viola Money(Europe) Ltd “VMEL” six months later (05/2019) + purportedly acquired 10 months later (03/2020) by a ‘mysterious’ individual & a Scottish (rumoured to be ex Barclays Bank/Barclaycard/VISA cybersource) purported ‘right hand man’. Noteworthy was that …
3/ shortly before/after the @theFCA authorisation of VMEL, ‘Viola group’ (incl. VMEL) was seemingly ‘re-financed’ with the aid of the notorious now former FCA made men/women at #Alfandari (charges still show as outstanding on some Viola SPV’s).

📺 Invité sur @France5tv dans @CaDireF5 pour exprimer ma position sur le #cannabis thérapeutique, le #CBD & la légalisation encadrée du cannabis récréatif pour laquelle je suis favorable.
2. Avec la mission parlementaire dont j'étais le rapporteur général, nous avons exploré les différents usages du #cannabis. Avant les nombreuses auditions de professionnels, médecins, policiers, assos, je n'avais aucune idées préconçues sur le cannabis récréatif.
3. Le constat de ces auditions est le même: la politique actuelle de prohibition ne diminuera pas la conso de cannabis. L'interdiction n'a aucune action sur les trafics. En France, 1M de Français avouent fumer quotidiennement du cannabis.

A lot is happening on the #Stellar network. Let me walk you trough some of the biggest developments. In this thread i'll cover:

🚀Turing complete smartcontracts
🚀#DeFi / #SmartDefi
🚀Liquidity pools
🚀Claimable balances
🚀Clawbackable assets
🚀#CDBC's
🚀Impact on $XLM

1/9
2. Let’s start with what what was already there.

#Stellar is made for interoperable payments and has an on-chain #DEX. Its consensus mechanism is similar to the Internet, making it:

✅Fast
✅Cheap
✅Scalable
✅Regulatory friendly

3. Tss
#Stellar uses operations and multi-sig to offer basic smart contract functionality. It didn’t have turing complete smart contracts like #Ethereum though.

With the new 2nd layer “TSS protocol", #Stellar now has full blown smart-contracts.

Aujourd’hui, l’@IPBES a rendu public son #GlobalAssessment.
Quels sont les points marquants ? Que peuvent-ils indiquer en termes d’action ?
Une analyse de @Laurans_IDDRI et @AleksRankovic à lire ici 👉iddri.org/fr/publication… (1/5) Image
#IPBES #GlobalAssessement : le rapport montre que l’effondrement de la #biodiversité est en premier lieu dû aux changements d’utilisation des sols occasionnés par l’#agriculture. (2/5) Image
#IPBES #GlobalAssessement : les progrès politiques enregistrés concernent surtout l’adoption de textes, dont l’application fait défaut, ce qui plaide pour transférer une partie de l’attention politique vers leur mise en œuvre concrète. (3/5)
