Welcome back to 1875: free trade negotiations with the US have collapsed, and American expansionism is on a roll. We needed a National Policy then—and we need a new one now. My take for @TorontoStar: thestar.com/business/opini…. #cdnecon #cdnpoli #canlab

55,000 @cupw workers are in week 4 of their strike, fighting for the basic rights all workers deserve. Canada Post’s management wants to close post offices, cut jobs & make mail harder to access. We can’t let this happen. Stand with postal workers today: canadianlabour.ca/campaigns/stan…

John Horgan made a profound impact on the lives of thousands of privatized health care workers by bringing the work in house & restoring decent wages & pensions. Rest easy John! Thank you for your solidarity! My deepest condolences to @jjhorgan's family. #bcpoli

Given John Rustad's previous accusation that "the NDP have rigged the election rules" I'd say it's time for him to reject accusations of Elections BC voter fraud in a clear & public way. Not a lot of room for subtlety on this issue & especially on this platform. #bcpoli

If anyone is wondering where the #bcpoli discourse has gone, read the replies. Some folks see the word “inclusion” and respond with the homophobic slur “groomer,” when this is an association that supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

For an election supposedly dominated by affordability concerns, there's been precious little attention in BC #bcpoli on core economic issues. As I explain in @TheTyee, BC's had the best per capita growth, highest wages, fastest investment, and more: thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/…. /2

After last week's StatsCan report on job vacancies (reporting 2.4 officially unemployed people for each employer-reported vacancy), I crunched the numbers for each province. Nfld.&Lab. has the highest (4.4). BC has the lowest (1.6). Alta above the national average at 2.7. #bcpoli

Thanks also to the publicly owned and closely regulated monopoly energy provider in neighbouring BC which helped bail out Alberta's dysfunctional system last night and kept Albertans from freezing in the dark 🙏. #PrivatizationFail #cdnpoli #cdnecon

A great champion for social democracy and ally of working people has passed. Ed Broadbent will be greatly missed. Canada's unions will keep fighting for the values that Ed cherished - a country that honours everyone's inherent worth and one that takes care of each other.

Today, we remember the 14 women killed at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal in 1989. We listen to victims of gender-based violence. We learn how to recognize and prevent gender-based violence. We commit to act on this knowledge every day to end gender-based violence in all forms.
