Your periodic reminder that charity will never solve what public policy was meant to address. The generosity of strangers is not a substitute for good public policy.

When a longstanding regular at @arlingtonfive pitched an idea to the café, a unique collab with the School of Industrial Design at @Carleton_U was born. They want to get people talking about what #Ottawa could be. 🗨️🤔 apt613.ca/urban-imaginaries-…

There's a lot going on in our lives right now, & it's an understatement to say we could all use some kindness. Tomorrow may be a new day, with new ways of doing things. But we're still a community, & we'll still look out for each other. Take it one day at a time, Ottawa. (4/4)

Replying to @OttawaMorning
@OttawaMorning Coffee is such a complex good and its historical “cheap” cost has not paid the true price to those who tend to its cultivation and processing. Coffee lovers need to recognize that commodity prices have been unsustainably low (for producers) for decades.

Certifications only go so far. Direct trade partnerships that increase the value to producers and processors are vital for an industry that prioritizes a false (cheap) cost to consumers. We all need to value coffee more, and move away from a model that keeps farmers impoverished.

We have to imagine a better way. Boxes of KD, tins of beans and tuna are NOT a solution. Income equity and better access to good food is necessary #communitycare #goodfoodisabasichumanright
This @fordnation makes me so angry!! Stop bringing non-perishable food to food banks. People on #ODSP don’t want your tins. They want the dignity of being able to purchase the food they need to stay healthy. This is shameful self promotion! #raisetherates #basicincome
