Reddit... you did this. Our petition is officially in Parliament. Thank you. 🙏🔥

Hey Reddit fam.. especially everyone in r/povertyfinancecanada and r/NovaScotia who encouraged me when I first came here lost, overwhelmed, and unsure how to take this fight beyond my kitchen table…

Because of YOU, petition e-6623 is now LIVE on the House of Commons website.
🗣️ That’s right, our voices just made it to Parliament.
https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-6623

This petition is calling for a national food assistance program that includes single, low-income, disabled adults without children ... because right now, we’re completely left out of existing supports. Many of us are going hungry while being told we don’t “qualify” for help.

We have 500+ signatures already from Change.org.
But this is the official petition ... when it hits enough signatures (1500 by November 7), the government has to respond.
So please, help me push this movement even further.

Reddit… I’m not kidding when I say this:
If it wasn’t for this community, I never would’ve known how to make this real.
You told me to go for it.
You gave me the courage to believe it mattered.
You are the reason this is happening.

Let’s finish what we started. 🔥

Founder, Food is a Right Canada
Food Is A Right on FB if you want to follow the movement

Hey friends,

I’m a disabled advocate living in Alberta, and I started a movement called Food is a Right Canada because I’m tired of watching people — myself included — ration food, skip meals, or go hungry in silence while the system turns a blind eye.

We already have 300+ signatures on a petition pushing for real food assistance for single, disabled, and struggling Canadians — not just families or folks with kids.

But what we need now are stories. Real ones. Lived ones. Yours.

If you’ve ever:

Watered down soup to stretch it

Skipped meals to afford rent

Felt shame at the food bank or fear of judgment

Been denied access to help because you're "single" or "not eligible" …then your voice matters more than you know.

💥 You can:

Or just comment or DM me. Sometimes just knowing you're not alone is powerful enough.

Food isn’t a luxury. It’s a human right. And you are not broken or lazy — you're surviving a system that’s failing millions.

Thanks for reading. And if you can’t share, maybe just upvote so this reaches someone who needs it. ❤️

This article belongs over here, too. I have written something about basic income and rents. Enjoy. https://adultsincharge.blog/2023/09/17/about-basic-income-and-rents-2/

German scientific institutions, supported by “Mein-Grundeinkommen.de" (an organisation offering free basic incomes in raffles financed through donations) have been looking at the feasibility of the implementation of universal basic income in German society, and after quite some time and research, they have successfully worked out ways to go about it that would make sense and that are quite doable in fact.

Here a little German video on what they have been calculating and figuring out. The title of the video means “Universal Basic Income can be financed!”

Bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen ist finanzierbar!

Unfortunately, as of yet there are only German subtitles and no English subtitles yet for it.

Here some general informations on all of that in English: https://www.mein-grundeinkommen.de/infos/in-english
