The BC NDP’s budget is hidden austerity for the working class. Eby has chosen the broken status quo. This budget raises taxes on working people, abandons $10-a-day childcare, and puts thousands of public servants out of work. #bcpoli /1

🚨Hidden austerity is still austerity🚨
Corporations and billionaires are the winners of the BC NDP budget, while working people are forced to foot the bill.
Eby’s cuts abandon $10-a-day childcare, cancels public housing, and puts thousands of public servants out of work.

The reality is that BC’s anticipated budget deficit isn’t “unsustainable”
Running deficits when times are tough is smart fiscal policy—austerity harms the economy and people
BC needs new revenue by increasing taxes on the wealthy & resource royalties

My 12-year old daughters donated one of their favourite stuffies for me to leave at the memorial in Tumbler Ridge. It’s heartbreaking just to think of them not coming home safely from school today and every day.

There are no right words for a moment like this. I am shocked and horrified at the tragic shooting that occurred in Tumbler Ridge. I grieve with the families who have lost a loved one. I wish for the speedy recovery of all those injured.

The renegotiation of our agreement with Eby’s NDP was a litmus test on their touted pro-worker values. They failed. The BC Greens are the party to take on the 1% and fight for working people. Thread on our CARGA proposal for year two — that the NDP unilaterally vetoed /1 🧵#bcpoli

BREAKING: We’re dropping our agreement with the BC NDP.
To renew our agreement, we asked for material action.
Eby’s NDP plainly refused.
So we’d like to share a new agreement with YOU. We agree to fight for affordability, take on the establishment, and stand with the working people of BC, always.

Foreign corporations get billions in taxpayer funding. What do they do with it? Strip our resources and leave working people to pay for the mess.
It’s the BC NDP playbook: privatize the profits, socialize the costs.

A Canadian company said on Friday that it would no longer sell a warehouse in Virginia to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which had planned to use the site as an ICE processing facility.

Chaos out here? Nope.
I’m speaking with CBC News about the closure of the Howe Street overdose prevention site.
These sites prevent deaths and connect people to care.
Shutting it down only guarantees one thing:
more public consumption.
more people using alone. More overdoses.
More tragedy.

ICE isn’t “law enforcement,” it’s an industry of human suffering.
Businesses should be cutting ties, not cashing checks.
