Canada homegrows a new billionaire every 12 weeks - while over half (55%) of families with kids (55%) are having trouble meeting day-to-day expenses. When working people can get ahead, Canada gets ahead. When working people win, Canada wins. #AlwaysCanada #Never51 #CanadaSky

If you want what you create to be read, understood, and used, do it by design. Audiences don't just happen, you create them -- even for project reports. This piece from Chris Lysy makes the case that email might be our best friend in this regard freshspectrum.com/audience-bui... #evaluation #design

You should build an audience, before you write your report.

Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa @ottawaalliance.bsky.social · 28/01/2025
The amount of money the Ontario government lost by eliminating license plate fees would be enough to end chronic homelessness in our province, according to a new report from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario: www.amo.on.ca/policy/healt...
A bar graph against a background of license plates. It shows "Ending outdoor and encampment homelessness in Ontario" with a price tag of $0.7 billion per year, and "Getting rid of license plate stickers" with a price tag of $1.1 billion per year.

Broad beliefs that "the system is rigged" shape how we understand social, economic and political issues. But who's rigging the system? How? For whose benefit? Great work by @frameworks.bsky.social shows how to drive productive critiques and avoid fueling harmful narratives. #ChangingNarratives

There are many forces working to entrench economic inequality and erode democracy. Is it scary? Sure. But telling the truth about the growing concentration of wealth and economic power is part of building an economy that works for more people. Read Matthew’s message: tinyurl.com/yeypdn83

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs

What really happened after California raised its minimum wage to $20 for fast food workers
What would happen to the fast food industry if it had to pay its workers something closer to a living wage?
