• 50% have TMJ but treatment is not covered in North America
    50% of people world wide suffer from TMJ. Most doctors and dentists don’t recognize the symptoms. Treatment for TMJD is a medical issue that is treated by dental professionals. What works and what doesn’t is not well studied. The treatments are not covered by private or provincial insurance. People are often given inappropriate treatments that cause more harm, or they are given treatment that only partially or temporarily reduces the pain. TMJ is linked to teeth, jaw, face, neck, head and back pain. It can affect digestion and the heart. This can be very debilitating. Treatment options need to be studied and covered by health plans.

  • Make the CDB non-reportable for taxes!
    Dear Minister Freeland and Minister Khera, We, the undersigned, believe that people with disabilities deserve to live with dignity. This is why we are asking for the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) to be made non-reportable for taxes.  If the CDB has to be reported at tax time (even if recipients do not have to pay taxes on it), it may be used to calculate eligibility for other federal benefits and credits. This could result in clawbacks. If the federal government cannot guarantee that their own benefits and credits won't be clawed back by the CDB, how can they expect the provinces and territories to not claw the CDB back from their social assistance programs?  We are asking that the Income Tax Act be modified to treat the CDB like the Canada Child Benefit by making the CDB non-reportable for taxes and excluding it from Adjusted Family Net Income. Benefits of doing so include:  -No clawbacks of federal benefits or credits for CDB recipients -Less likelihood of the CDB being clawed back by provincial and territorial social assistance -Reduced stress for CDB recipients at tax time because they don't have to report it on their tax return -A show of good will from the federal government towards the Disability community, who have waited so long (and are still waiting!) for the CDB.  Thank you for considering this request.  Sincerely,

  • Equal Rent Control for All Apartments
    Thousands of tenants in Ontario who rent now or did since 2018 lease units in new buildings were given rent increases ranging from 10% to 30% !  The landlords owning buildings built before 2018 have to obey the yearly limited increase around 2.5% For example, you rent in a hundred year old building versus a new built building! The upkeep for the 100 year old building is way above the legal rent increase whilst a new building upkeep is far below!  Yet all tenants in new buildings are facing unexpected financial challenges due largely to Doug Ford’s legislation enacted in November 2018! It must be challenged and revoked! And most importantly the tenants who were charged rent increases above the national yearly maximum must be compensated accordingly!

  • Bring Basic Income Guarantee to Prince Edward Island
    When Saskatchewan brought Medicare in, there was strong opposition. Now we have a federal program and can’t imagine our life with an American system. In seven years, PEI will prove to Canadians that we all can succeed if we work together. It’s a small Island, so we can show Canada the way. Other projects have been stopped without study by hard core conservatives, leaving people high and dry and without any recourse. Send your voice to politicians that they must lead, follow or get out of the way. Bring BIG to PEI.

  • Let's regain control over corporations
    1.  Allowing dividends is exactly parallel to allowing gamblers to collect winnings without cashing in chips.  Nobody in the world can collect his winnings without cashing in his chips.  Why allow shareholders to collect winnings without selling shares?  How are shareholders different from any other gambler? 2.  Allowing a company to own shares in another company means that a company is betting against itself.  It is a blatant conflict of interest when a company must make decisions which favour itself over the owned company.

  • A People-Powered Solution to Climate Change!
    This could be the difference between the survival and extinction of our species and the planet we depend on. It doesn't matter what we like or want, or what is convenient. Nor does it matter what is traditional, or what we're used to. The only thing that should truly matter is what is absolutely necessary for our survival and that of our planet. We have no other home. All I know for sure is for the sake of our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and the planet they need to survive, eating all animal products must stop now or they simply won't make it. Period. Full Stop. For the love of your families, and all that you hold dear in your hearts, I beg you to please stop eating all animal products right now. We can do this, we must do this .Our families lives depend on it.

  • Un-invite David Frum as Keynote Speaker at Democratic Engagement Exchange Event at TMU
    It is important for others to join in signing this petition to demonstrate to President Lachemi, Professor Beebe, and Dean Peng the significant opposition to the Islamophobic and anti-Palestine views held by David Frum because those views are not representative of the TMU community, but even more importantly, they are harmful and incite violence.

  • Funding needed for Rousseau Public School
    Students have been reporting they avoid going to the washroom during the day because they do not feel that it is a safe space for them – their privacy is not guaranteed. The cleanliness of the washrooms is also of concern, with the need for more dedicated caretaking time spent on ensuring these spaces meet the hygiene standards required to prevent the spread of infections (to which over the past two years, Rousseau has fell victim). The experience of going to the washroom in their current state creates feelings of insecurity, anxiousness, uncertainty, and overall poor hygiene. These reports from students run contrary to the Hamilton-Wentworth School Board’s Facilities policy which indicates: “Hamilton‐Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) believes in maintaining equitable, efficient and sustainable schools and other board facilities that provide safe and high-quality learning and working environments for students, staff and the community.” You can appreciate that students who avoid using the washroom for an entire school day is a true reflection that the environment being provided for them is not safe nor a high-quality learning environment. The parent community at Rousseau Public school are imploring the school board to allocate funds to improve the washroom facilities at the school so that students feel comfortable and safe using these necessary spaces. We recognize that the school board is in a tough position as the intention to rebuild the school building is strong, however after many years of unsuccessful applications for funding, it is time to recognize that the Board now needs to direct money towards the upkeep of the building in order to improve the facilities that students need to use daily. The health and wellbeing of our children depend on it. Sincerely, The Rousseau School community

  • Recall Alberta Premier Danielle Smith
    If premier Danielle Smith continues this path Alberta will become a state where health care and ordinary living expenses will become unaffordable for the even the average Albertan. My final straw came when, in conversation with a worker at our local food bank I learned they were accepting 12 new families a month, this in addition to the families they were already serving, not to mention my rising energy bill consisting of administraive costs often higher than the actual energy cost.
