Do you feel helpless in the current political climate? Do you want to make a difference? Do you believe you are too busy to bother trying? BIWR’s Youth Engagement Committee and OBIN invite you to rethink how political action can fit into your active lifestyle.

The election is almost here. Know when and where you will vote. Make a plan. Get a ride to the poll if you need one. Many riding offices have volunteers who will offer to drive voters. Vote strategically. Ensure that people, the economy, and the environment matter more than power and wealth.

We vote on April 28! More than ever, we need to foster connection, verify sources, and amplify our voices. As we prepare for the election, every effort will be made to distract and divide us with mis/disinformation. We urge everyone to verify sources and vote strategically.

As citizens, we are responsible for verifying information, staying informed, and holding candidates accountable. A group of graduate students passionate about addressing mis/disinformation developed a toolkit to verify information. Together we can prevent the spread of inaccurate information.

With some massive, global issues at stake, it is important now more than ever to vote in this federal election! There are many resources to make voting quick and simple, including for anyone who has never voted before.

In Canada, what makes one life better makes everyone’s life better. As of January 2025, 2.5 million people in Ontario are without a family doctor. This is 16% of the population. Let’s ensure everyone has access to primary care.

Consider strategic voting to enhance the collective power of your vote!

IMPORTANT: Consider their best competition in your local riding, not in the entire province. Go to 338canada’s website, choose your region, then use the map to select your riding and see the polling stats. #ontarioelection

In Canada, what makes one life better makes everyone’s life better. We do not believe in criminalizing homeless people. Homelessness impacts everyone. Stop Safer Municipalities Act, 2024 and build affordable housing.

In 2018, Doug Ford cancelled the Ontario Basic Income Pilot, leaving thousands of people without an income that they were promised. He then had to pay $320K for doing so. So much for being fiscally responsible! This election, vote with Basic Income in mind.

In Canada, what makes one life better makes everyone’s life better. Food insecurity should not impact one in three people in Kingston, ON or anywhere in Canada. Ask your candidate how they will address food insecurity, precarious employment, and a Basic Income Guarantee.

@mediasmarts.ca is a great resource for combating misinformation this election!

4 ways to tell if something is true online:
1. Use fact-checking tools
2. Find the source
3. Verify the source
4. Check other sources

Doug Ford is always advertising that he speaks to anyone who calls. So let’s give him a call: 647-612-3673

With rumours circulating about an early election this year, we want to ensure that basic income is a priority issue. So tell him that when one of us benefits financially, we all do!
