Policies shape how we live our daily lives–how much we pay for groceries, how easily we can access healthcare, child care, and how much we spend on medication. Regardless of who you are or where you live, we all benefit from policies that make life better for everyone. #DemandBetterToday

Gender equality is the backbone of a strong economy–fair wages, a strong public healthcare system, safe & affordable housing make life better for everyone. Feminist policies are good for the economy–period. This election, take the pledge to demand better at demandbettertoday.ca #DemandBetterToday.

📣Personne ne devrait être obligé de cumuler deux emplois pour payer son loyer, ni de choisir entre ses médicaments ou de la nourriture, ni de voir son enfant prendre du retard à cause des frais de garderie.
