🧵The #CanadaDisabilityBenefit could be a game-changer.

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

We are about to kick off our organizing call for a bold #EmissionsCap! You can still join us here: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

We’ll also be live-tweeting the highlights in this thread. 👇 So what is the #EmissionsCap and why is it important? It is a policy that places a limit/cap on carbon emissions from the fossil fuel industry.

It is our best shot at tackling rising emissions in Canada and meeting our climate targets. 🔥

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.

🧵What’s #Bill23?

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

🧵Today is the last day of #COP27 — where world leaders have reaffirmed their commitment to tackle the climate crisis.

Tomorrow, @s_guilbeault will return home — and @leadnowca is ready to hold him to account on the promises he makes.

Here’s how👇#EmissionsCap (1/8) 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)

🧵 Yesterday, Doug Ford announced that his government would immediately be repealing its strikebreaking act, #Bill28.

Faced with a united labour movement and massive public opposition behind @CUPEOntario, Ford backed down. This is people power. #onted 1/6
theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… 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
