Wow! Mark Carney gets very testy when asked about his assets by the Globe’s Stephanie Levitz and then lectures CBC’s Rosemary Barton for following up. Something is up here. And really? Lecturing two journalists about their questions?

CBC’s Rosemary Barton exemplifies exactly why intelligent, accomplished people hesitate to run for office: even when they follow the rules—something Mark Carney has been clear about from day one—they are subjected to relentless badgering. If Canada wants strong political…

Carney accuses the CBC's Rosemary Barton of acting with "ill will" when she says it's "very difficult to believe" he has no conflicts of interest stemming from his time in the private sector.

I hope all the Conservatives tweeting about me and my tough questions finally agree to appear on my program. They have an open invitation. #journalism

Public libraries are the original social medicine hubs. They are open/part of the relief network for cooling in this heatwave — another reason we need to fund our libraries.

Did you know we’re part of the @cityoftoronto’s Heat Relief Network? Come into any of our 100 branches during opening hours to beat the heat. 👇

Yet another media report on the wholly inadequate proposed Canada Disability Benefit @CHEK_News

With this decision on the Canada Disability Benefit, the Minister of Finance can be called “Six-bucks Freeland.”

#Budget2024 new Canada Disability Benefit offers $6 a day in income support for some people with disabilities some time in 2025.

Effective immediately, I have resigned from Minister @KamalKheraLib Disability Advisory Group. I am deeply disappointed in what #Budget2024 provided for the Canada Disability Benefit. Read my full letter here.

Where is the advocacy here? How can this legislation still not be proclaimed? Ppl with intellectual disabilities are being paid slave wages. If we did this to any other equity seeking group there would be outrage. Shameful.

Can we get a commitment to fix this issue once we have a new government that values compassion, doing what's right and equity for all @susanholt @DavidCCoon? @jodyRcarr sums up the sentiment very well below.

Provincial disability income support programs are well below the poverty level. Animated graph shows, poverty line in teal blue, disability income support levels in dark purple, well below poverty line. The #CDB aim is to fill in this gap, and bring #PWD at or above this line.

#DidYouKnow that people with intellectual disabilities are often not provided the support they need to understand their sentence and other legal processes they must go through?
