Tax breaks for real estate are fuelling the housing crisis. Send a message to Ottawa to end these loopholes here: bit.ly/C4TFhomes

Thank you Katrina Miller, Executive Director of @FairTaxCanada for your work. "These tax breaks are driving financialized landlords to buy up more of our housing stock, and use it as an asset, increasing rents... as well as the asset price when they decide to sell."

@Zahra25919064 @schill_dawg @SOSAlberta Charter schools receive full public funding, but do not operate in the same way that public schools do. They are a symptom of the undermining of public education by private interests. Check our @SOSAlberta's fact sheet that delves into more detail here: rb.gy/nbyiyj

@PIAlberta @schill_dawg @SOSAlberta Honest question, aren’t charter schools public schools? I understand they follow different intake processes etc. but thought they are also public.

Today, we're launching a campaign with @SOSAlberta for an idea so simple, it boggles the mind that we even have to organize for it --- that PUBLIC funds belong in PUBLIC schools.
Not charter schools.
Not private schools.
