All eyes are on you @jjhorgan @bcndp - will you stand by whilst precious old-growth forests in BC are cut down? nitter.gq/leadnowca/status/14063… #bcpoli #oldgrowth #fairycreek
Concerned citizens have crowdfunded this ad in the @VancouverSun today calling on you to fulfill your promise to protect old-growth @jjhorgan @bcndp. Don’t stand by as they are cut down. Defer logging of all at-risk old-growth now. #bcpoli #OldGrowth @standearth @wildernews
.@cafreeland Thanks for promising a #JustRecovery. Will you back up your beliefs by helping Canada transition to a low-carbon economy, restore land, freshwater, ocean ecosystems & protect wildlife? act.gp/3bmXFta @greenpeaceCA #cdnpoli
Dear Minister @NavdeepSBains: please side with Canadians, not Big Telecom. Support fair wholesale rates & take urgent action to guarantee access to fast and affordable Internet. @MaryamMonsef @JustinTrudeau openmedia.org/BigTelecomBain… via @openmediaorg

"When Toronto reopens, the city’s streetscapes might never look the same. The worst-case scenario is mom-and-pop shops and indie restaurants perish while chains and big box stores proliferate...But this is preventable" nowtoronto.com/lifestyle/fin…
Provinces are making *announcements* to re-open their economy and get businesses up and running again. The question remains, HOW CAN SMALL BUSINESSES AFFORD IT? @jjhorgan #wtfcanada @mary_ng @JustinTrudeau

time for a thread about how a single misunderstanding could possibly affect the livelihoods of many, many people: in this case, small Canadian businesses hoping to get rent relief from their landlords.

when Ottawa released the details for how tenants could get 75% rent relief through the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance program, they offered few details. Landlords and tenants didn’t know if it applied to base rent or gross rent. theglobeandmail.com/business…
BC NDP apparently has called for an immediate moratorium on commercial-rent evictions. It's May 1st today, RENT IS DUE -WHERE ARE YOU? Is the real estate lobby more important to you than your largest collective employer in this province? Your jurisdiction, your responsibility.

Gutted by the silence from @bcndp on this. They know it's May 1 in less than 72 hours, right? @selinarobinson @GeorgeHeyman @Dave_Eby. Good response from constituency staff, true concern, but still no announcement. Shows lack of understanding of power dynamics at play.

More than half of business owners need help with May rent. And for it to be meaningful it has to be grants or rent forgiveness not just more loans. Main street is stressed. cfib-fcei.ca/en/media/news-r…

Ottawa & the provinces are still developing pandemic relief programs for small businesses they forced to shut down 5+ weeks ago.
The staggered, piecemeal announcements are too little, too late for entrepreneurs: Many are already closing for good.

"Tenants have no choice but to pay, or accept bad deferral deals. Many are dipping into their savings or going in to more debt. Only a moratorium on evictions would even the playing field while the rent deal btwn Feds and Provinces is arranged." @jjhorgan @mary_ng @JustinTrudeau
Whenever I say we need a moratorium on commercial evictions, I hear "why would the landlord want to evict? Who are they going to rent to?" This thread and this blog explains why this logical-sounding argument doesn't make sense in the real world. 1/10 link.medium.com/X9T6MLkYT5
RENT IS DUE. 7 days from now 70% of small businesses across Canada will default. What on earth is the hold-up? No need to re-invent the wheel, many other countries already figured this out back in March. @JustinTrudeau @mary_ng @jjhorgan
It's about rent, and it's always been about rent. If you want your community businesses intact, get a rent deal done. Simple as that.
This survey is the starkest proof yet. #rentsupportnow

We're encouraged @JustinTrudeau said commercial rent support is coming. Get it right this time @Bill_Morneau. We need support that is: 1) Fast 2) Inclusive, broad eligibility 3) Not debt 4) Sufficient: cover $10K monthly rent. Our proposal: drive.google.com/file/d/1VD7… #RentSupportNow
Yesterday, Trudeau made vague mention of some form of rent relief coming down the pipe for business. Our sources tell us, this program announcement could be just as inadequate, and will attempt to shift the burden… instagram.com/p/B_BBXRhh1uX/…
