Big Oil profits. We pay the price for a high-risk pipeline
Text: Week of Action - April 13-18. LNG: Not in our national interest. Victoria. Vancouver. Toronto. Montreal. Ottawa. With images of burning gas and money.
Headline text reads: “Homes Not Pipelines. Liberal MPs: Whose side are you on?”. Below it is an image of a figure with a Liberal party symbol and a question mark. On the left side of the figure are images of families, trees, and houses. On the right, images of oil rigs and barrels, and a moneybag. At the bottom of the image is text that says: “Take your public stance by April 15”
Billboard with text: MPs: Say NO to dead-end pipelines. Invest in Canada's renewable energy economy of the future, not the dying fossil fuel industry of the past. Pushing dead-end pipelines is just an economic and climate disaster waiting to happen.

“The crisis is that if I sell my house, I will have made over a million dollars for doing nothing, and not have to pay tax on it. Yet my grandchildren have no prospect of ever buying a house. This is totally unfair.” David Homes for All / Leadnow
“My husband and I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment that’s less than 500 sq. ft. Our rent takes up more than 50% of our income. It’s made it impossible to make plans for the future... half the time we can’t even afford our grocery bill. We are one paycheck away from being homeless.” Anonymous Homes for All / Leadnow
BREAKING A new ceasefire agreement has been reached after 2 years of genocide in Gaza. We stand with Palestinians finding relief and celebrating this news. We must continue calling for an end to the illegal occupation — the fight doesn’t end here. Ceasefire today, liberation tomorrow. Free Palestine.
“I am a full-time paramedic in BC. It’s been hard to find decent housing for a long time. I lost my rental in Vancouver and after struggling to find a new place with prices just climbing and climbing, I ended up having to leave my hometown to try to find a place to live on Vancouver Island. Every time I get close to saving for a home of my own, costs change and go up.” Elly Homes for All / Leadnow
“My biggest concern is finding stable housing. In the last 6 years, I have moved 7 times, for various reasons: uncapped rent increases, my roommates being priced out of their leases, poorly maintained rental units where landlords refuse to fix basic use items for months on end.” Kathryn Homes for All / Leadnow

“I have a Master’s degree and work as a therapist, yet I can’t afford to live in the city in which I work. I feel doomed to pay exorbitant rent to landlords who can take my home from me at any moment. My boyfriend’s rent is half his income... it stresses me out to consider planning our life together. It feels so unfair that I have good credit and can scrounge together rent, but I don't have the margin to save for a down payment.” Anonymous Homes for All / Leadnow

“I’m on ODSP. My monthly allowance does not cover my rent. I have to rely on aging benefactors to remain housed. My building is old and requires constant repair. The water is often turned off. My apartment has been flooded during one such occasion... I do not feel safe in this building and it does not meet my needs or my expectations. It most definitely is not worth what I'm paying but I can’t afford to move.” Maria Homes for All / Leadnow
