Our plan builds on our federal-partnership to create jobs, promote equality and tackle #ClimateChange. It empowers municipalities to lead recovery on the ground. #cdnmuni #cdnpoli
#COVID19 is exposing longstanding inequalities. We’ve seen disproportionate impacts on Indigenous, Black + racialized Canadians. And the pandemic has been very hard on people experiencing homelessness + mental illness. #cdnmuni #cdnpoli

@plotlondon 2. Crisis management isn’t the same as time travel.

Things might look futuristic, but we haven’t really ffwd'd to 2030 - communities have been repurposing the tech, tools and skills they have right now to do amazing things. That’s not sustainable.
