I wish Hannah Bell was running for the @canadiangreens.bsky.social Co-Leadership.
She had me at
Proportional Representation—Just Do It.
2016 national public hearings on it showed 88% for P.R.
Try it, then let people vote on keeping it AFTER they’ve tried it once.

In my twenties, me and my friends set up Equinox Housing Co-op in Longsight, Manchester. It’s still going strong.
We used the same principles of democratic, collective ownership as these brilliant 50 year old housing co-ops in Liverpool.

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with @hannahbethbell.bsky.social in the PEI-BWA, on provincial and federal campaigns and of course on housing.
The PEI Rental Registry, which has helped so many, was Hannah’s idea and her unanimous motion but the PC’s ignored the vote. We got it done anyway ✅🏠
In its first ever contested leadership race, Green Party of PEI members can elect Hannah Bell, who will give a voice to all Islanders, esp the most vulnerable.

"People are going to vote for change & it remains to be seen whether they vote for the positive message @greenparty.org.uk is giving or if they will vote for Reform & its negative message."

“Worse than the technical impediments are the political ones. Our health systems, in Alberta and elsewhere [ahem, Saskatchewan], are administrative disasters, because they are devoid of accountability and micromanaged by politicians.”
We need vision and action & THAT is sorely lacking.
Today is the golden chaos demons birthday 🎉
Disco and Dolly have brought utter destruction and equal joy to our home. Here’s to many more more years of puppy love. 💕
If grassroots democracy are important to you, and if you believe in strong governance, then join the Green Party of PEI so you can vote in the leadership contest!
Just to recap following Bessent's briefing to reporters here at the White House: - Tariffs on China increased to 125% - 90 day pause on reciprocal tariffs amid negotiations - Tariff level brought down to a universal 10% - Canada and Mexico are part of the 10% - Pause won't impact sectoral tariffs, which are coming soon (pharma, lumber, etc)
Incredibly, in his abrupt reversal on trade policy, Trump seemingly just *increased* tariffs on Mexico and Canada to 10%.
Until today, the U.S. has only had 25% tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminium, and autos, plus 10% on energy and potash. (With the caveat that it's 0% for USMCA-compliant trade.)
TL;DR: The new U.S. tariff rate against our two largest trading partners is either 10%, 25% or 35%, and so far no one I've reached out to at the White House is able to tell me which.
Great news! One of the requirements for the #PEI Greens Leadership Contest is raising funds, and I'm thrilled to share my campaign met the first fundraising target a week ahead of schedule! Every donation gets us closer to the goal - will you chip in? peigreens.ca/Page/35490
Inspired by @mark-carney.bsky.social and Canadians everywhere. We’re all fighting back on our home ice!
Ambulance just went by from Stratford
Hillsborough bridge from Stratford to Charlottetown is at a crawl - not sure what issue is but heads up if you’re heading out #pei
I'd rather a poor person "abuse the system" and end up with more than the bare minimum it takes to survive than a rich person abuse the system to make more money than anyone could ever need.
Did you know that if you're 14+ and a PEI resident, you can vote in the Green Party of PEI leadership contest? There are so few opportunities for young people to have a voice that matters. If you care about our future, then this is your chance to make yourself heard. hannahbell.ca #peipoli
The motion from Premier Rob Lantz to nominate MLA Brad Trivers as PEI Legislative Assembly Deputy Speaker is astoundingly tone deaf and utterly inappropriate given Trivers’ demonstrated lack of respect for the role, his colleagues, and the rules of the House. #peipoli
