The BC Basic Income Panel found that almost half of those living in poverty were essentially full time, full year workers. The idea that poverty is confined just to those without jobs and those on income assistance is a zombie idea. Kudos to @gillianpetit.bsky.social and Maytree for this report!
In "Poverty segmentation: The challenge of the 'working poor'," I challenge the misconception that poverty doesn't happen to people who work. The reality is that the largest group of people living in poverty in Canada are working or live in families who work. maytree.com/publications...
Poverty segmentation: The challenge of the “working poor”
Employment doesn't guarantee financial security: 42% of those in poverty are "working poor." Read Gillian Petit’s report on a modern definition for policymakers.

The attacks on trans rights, which are basic human rights, are a terrible injustice and an attack on truth and fact as well. Everyone should be deeply alarmed and it should be disqualifying for a politician to support such discrimination.

Hugely important thread of info on this. Compassion Club was an overwhelmingly reasonable, considered, and just attempt to stop mass death completely ignored by all levels of government. Every single level of government could be saving lives tomorrow and chooses not to, everyday.
Been covering DULF's constitutional challenge for @thetyee.ca this week. Crown prosecutors have tried to poke lots of small holes in what founders Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum were doing. Nyx and Kalicum have largely defended themselves saying they were doing the best they knew how at the time.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I particularly want to stress that the violence we talk about trans people experiencing isn't just murder or domestic abuse or assault.
There is also legislative violence—far too much of it. And we lose lives to that every year too.

The Alberta government putting out a statement for Trans Day of Remembrance two days after using the Notwithstanding Clause to override trans kids rights feels like parody at this point
"Our government remains a dedicated partner of transgender Albertans.”
