"#SethKlein is a very important progressive voice who argues in his book #AGoodWar that #Canada should take the strategies we've used before in wartime, so the World War Two war effort, to repurpose politics & the economy to address the climate emergency."

"No one is rising to the level of ambition we need to address our #ClimateEmergency. PM #Carney ultimately believes the market is a viable way to solve problems, trying to persuade companies to do the right thing, incentiving them to change their behaviour. That's not the level of ambition we need."
"#MarkCarney is prime minister. He wrote a book about values & building a better world for all. This is quite relevant because our economic system is the embodiment & codification of our values. Our current economic system values private money. There's tremendous opportunity for it to be different."
"When we see a policy designed to achieve some social or ecological goal it's instantly offset by all of the things working against it. We're always just banging our head against the wall. We need to look to the common denominator or the root cause of our problems and how they intersect."
"There's a window of opportunity here. We're in a pretty bad way & people are feeling that. We're living it. We need to do something differently & I think there's a visceral sense of that. People are suffering. People are struggling. People are having trouble seeing the future. We need real change."

This is our borough and our futures, nos tienen que respetar!
Senator Jessica Ramos has been standing up against these predatory schemers and opposes this "Metropolitan Park" proposal - member deference must be respected.
"Our current economic system holds a narrow version of economic growth at the centre & the inevitable harms it causes to human & planetary wellbeing are the consequence. The #WellBeingEconomy explicitly & unapologetically flips that logic on its head. There's a beauty in the simplicity of the idea."

"The #WellbeingEconomy is an umbrella term for an alternative to #neoliberal capitalism. It's not just one thing.At its core, a wellbeing economy is an economy that explicitly places all people, all living things and our planet at the centre rather than the other way around."
"Our 'rich get richer' economic system concentrates wealth & power to a massive extent. We're NOT all in this together. One class of people can buy their way out of anything. You can barely imagine a more toxic thing to do to community solidarity & democracy but that's exactly what we've done."

" #TaxCuts for very rich people leads to less revenue then cuts to the public sector. This is presented as being 'inevitable' but it's a choice which leads to a decline in quality & accessibility of public services. Then governments swoop in to offer #privatization as a viable alternative."
"Deregulation of the industries is what allows #OilAndGas companies to do pretty much whatever they want, take the profits & leave a mess behind without any real consequences. Political parties often campaign on #TaxCuts but what they usually mean is tax cuts for very rich people."
"Capitalism's defining feature is that most economic activity (meaning production, consumption & distribution) takes place in the private sector with the goal of accumulating private profit. The goal isn't to support human or planetary well-being. It's to accumulate private profit"

"A lot of us are expressing shock and disbelief and questioning 'how on earth did we get here?' It's important to recognize that much of what we're seeing now is an entirely predictable outcome of our political/economic system of neoliberal capitalism. This was bound to happen and now here we are!"
"Our current global economic model which is increasingly shrinking the world's middle class, making the poor poorer, the rich richer and the world increasingly on fire is just ONE now demonstrably failing human made system. Others have existed before & will do so again. We're way past due." #
"It's always easy to shrug things off by saying 'well that's just how things have always been' except, when it comes to our entirely human constructed global economic system it's categorically untrue. It has NOT always been like this. In 2025 better models need exploring, like the #WellBeingEconomy
