We sent a survey asking people with disabilities from the Leadnow community to share their stories in their own words. If this issue is not a reality for you, please read their stories. #BillC22 must be passed! #cdnpoli👇
It may be another year without the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit. Bill C-22 has been dragging its way through the senate, and disability advocates worry that it may be delayed again for another year. #BillC22#cdnpoli
#BillC22 has been almost 3 years in the making, and people living with disabilities in Canada are still having to live without financial support to meet their basic needs. #CanadaDisabilityBenefit#cdnpoli
People with disabilities in Canada have been hit hard by the cost of living crisis, and the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit could put more money in their pockets when they need it most.
It is a crucial first step to ensuring everyone can meet their basic needs. #BillC22#cdnpoli
Over 40% of people living in poverty in Canada are disabled — and the cost of living crisis has impacted them most.
Ford is destroying our local hospitals. Together we can force the Ford gov’t to stop privatizing our hospitals and take urgent action to address this unprecedented crisis.

Working in Brampton in the third wave of the pandemic is something I'll never forget. Everyone I saw was someone who was precariously employed, working in an essential job. - @AmitAryaMD
We're seeing the downstream impacts of public health policy failures in our emergency rooms.
Prioritizing corporate profit over people and the environment is in @fordnation’s playbook. The fight to #ProtectTheGreenbelt is at the intersection of climate and housing justice. Here’s why thousands are mobilizing to #StopBill23 👇 #HandsOffTheGreenbelt 1/8
Last month Doug Ford tabled a new law, #Bill23, to eviscerate our pristine Greenbelt, breaking his promise to leave it alone.
Bill 23 is dangerous. It’s an attack on the environment and democracy—all under the mask of expanding housing. #StopBill23#ONpoli 2/8
#Bill23 would allow Ford to take 7,400 acres of farmland and natural areas and strip environmental protections that protect wildlife, keep our drinking water safe, guard wetlands, and ensure flood protection. #StopBill23#ONpoli 3/8
For the last few months, the @liberal_party has been drafting a policy to cap emissions from oil & gas.
If done right, it could help Canada meet its climate targets and set a new standard for climate leadership. But Big Oil is working hard to water the policy down. (2/8)
The @leadnowca community won’t let our future be decided by the interests of polluters.
That’s why, since the beginning of November, volunteers have been meeting with their Liberal MPs to call for an #EmissionsCap that honours Canada’s climate commitments. (3/8)
The fact that @CUPEOntario education workers withholding labour was enough to shut down schools makes it clear: education workers are essential workers.
With #Bill28 repealed, workers retain their bargaining power, and negotiations can resume. It’s a big win. #onted#onpoli 2/6
Ford’s overreach brought together a massive coalition—public and private sector labour unions, climate and social justice activists, parents and students—in a broad and powerful movement. For the first time in a generation, a true general strike was on the table. #onted 3/6
