Empowering Renters: Navigating Tenant Rights and Housing Laws with ACORN
<p>In this episode, we speak with Peter Jongeneelen from ACORN. We delve into the realm of tenant rights and housing laws, shedding light on some promising developments for renters. We discuss the latest housing strategy unveiled by the Government of New Brunswick, exploring its implications and notable features. While the strategy offers hope and potential improvements for renters, we also address a noteworthy absence: the absence of a rent cap. Tune in as we dissect this pivotal aspect of tenant rights, decipher the government's approach, and assess its impact on the housing landscape. Join us for a vital conversation on the ever-evolving world of housing policy and its significance for tenants.</p>

Transcending Politics: Reacting to Politicians on Trans Youth
<p>Hi Everyone!</p> <p>This was a more ambitious episode for the podcast. With my guest, Nicki Lyons-MacFarlane, a trans non-binary person and queer and trans rights advocate in Fredericton, we are incorporating clips from news stories about Policy 713 and reacting directly to statements made by Premier Higgs and Education Minister Hogan about trans youth. </p> <p>Working on this episode has definitely given me a lot of respect for the journalists whose stories on this topic we have pulled from - they make it look easy! In hindsight, I wish I had done a better job setting up our clips to make a better listening experience for you.

The Erosion of Trans Rights: the Changes to Policy 713
<p>This year, the provincial government of New Brunswick made changes to Policy 713, the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity policy. This policy came out in 2020 to create a safer and more inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ youth in schools. However, the same government that initially passed the bill placed it under a controversial review and altered the language in such a way that the rights of trans youth in schools have been eroded. </p> <p>My guest is Pascale Joëlle Fortin Daigle, of <a href="https://www.hellogender.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Hello Gender</a>. We discuss the following changes that were made in the bill:</p> <p>1. Teachers now need parental permission before they can use a young person's preferred name or pronoun. </p> <p>2. Trans youth who do not want to come out to their parents must visit a school counsellor to "make a plan" to come out. (After recording Hogan has since said that children will be encouraged rather than forced into a counsellor's office, however, the emphasis around making a plan to come out to parents remains).</p> <p>3. Language protecting the right of trans kids to participate in extracurricular activities that align with their gender identity has been removed. </p> <p>Trigger Warning:</p> <p>There is mention of suicide at the following timestamps. Please listen with care and prioritize your safety: </p> <ul> <li>16:16-16:25 - briefly mentioned in the context of statistics</li> <li>19:11- 21:35- discussion of suicide and childhood abuse </li> </ul> <p>We also share about Well & Fair's first-ever Community Event. In partnership with Hello Gender, we are hosting a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/659897476066356/?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A[%7B%22mechanism%22%3A%22group_featured_unit%22%2C%22surface%22%3A%22group%22%7D]%2C%22ref_notif_type%22%3Anull%7D" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Rally for Policy 713 on September 10, 2023.</a> We will be raising our voices and celebrating trans joy. I hope you can make it.</p> <p><br></p>
