Bill C-22 – an act to reduce poverty and support the financial security of persons with disabilities by establishing the Canada disability benefit (CDB) – is making its way through senate, and could pass any day.
#leadnow is calling on #canadians to send a message to our senate to let them know we want protections for persons with disability.

So glad to see the Disability Without Poverty campaign succeeding. This feels like a good step in the right direction towards a #UBI in #Canada

"With the rising costs of living across the country, it’s becoming harder for many of us to put food on the table. And more than ever, people with disabilities are falling through the cracks.
But, the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) could help stop that. Just this week Bill C-22 — the act to reduce poverty and support the financial security of persons with disabilities with the CDB — passed its third reading with a unanimous vote from all parties. 1,2 The fight is not over: the bill must get through the Senate so it can become law. And critically, the Liberals must provide funding for it.
MP Mike Morrice — along with disability advocates across the country — is calling for funding to be designated in the 2023 budget. With multi-partisan support, and over 89% of Canadians supporting the CDB, this should be a no-brainer for the Liberal government. 3
A groundswell of public support could send a loud and clear message: people with disabilities will not get left behind and the government must put its money where its mouth is."

#DougFord's wage-suppressing #Bill124 is an attack on workers’ rights in #Ontario. Since it passed three years ago, it has capped the wages of over a million public sector workers, including #nurses, #teachers, care workers, and public servants. By restricting their ability to negotiate wage increases, Bill 124 also holds these workers back from bargaining for better working conditions in new contracts.
Send a message now to Doug Ford now.
