Today we remember the victims of the Holocaust: the Nazi regime’s systematic murder of six million Jews, as well as millions of others targeted because of their race or ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or religious or political belief.

Two of Canada’s most progressive economists, @davidmaccdn.bsky.social & @dtcochrane.bsky.social, agree: CEO pay isn’t about productivity. It’s about power.

New data from the @policyalternatives.ca's report shows who’s really paying the price.

A proper review of the post-secondary sector must recognize the value of post-secondary education extends far beyond financial spreadsheets, and that sustainability cannot be achieved by weakening the very institutions that communities rely on. #bclab #bcpoli moveuptogether.ca/the-latest/p...

Just renewed my #ICBC car insurance for a year, cost me all of $1477. That's $80 cheaper than last year, which was cheaper than the year before. Public auto insurance is a wonderful thing! Here's the 10-yr change in auto insurance costs by province from StatsCan. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Trans Awareness Week reminds us that inclusion isn’t optional.

Trans workers deserve respect, safety, fair treatment, and to see themselves represented in our movement.

Unions fight for justice. That includes fighting for trans rights.

Today, and every day, we remember those who served, and continue to serve, our country, sacrificing themselves in the fight for our freedoms and against fascism and other threats to our democracies to allow us to have the rights we have today.

COPE National and MoveUP President Annette Toth's statement on Alberta government's strike busting.

Online version: moveuptogether.ca/the-latest/s...
COPE strongly condemns the Government of Alberta and Premier Danielle Smith’s assault on the rights of the striking teachers in Alberta by invoking the notwithstanding clause to force teachers back to work. No matter how the Government of Alberta attempts to frame it, this is nothing but an attack on the fundamental rights of teachers who are exercising their rights as workers and doing their part to defend public education and students in Alberta by asking the government to address critical issues that are affecting the educational experience, including class sizes and the need for student support. By taking this action, the Government of Alberta is also showing they have little regard for workers’ rights in general and would be willing to use this method to attack workers and union members in any sector as they see fit. Our union, and our tens of thousands of members across the country, stands in solidarity with the teachers in Alberta, and with the Alberta Teachers’ Association, in their continued efforts to defend public education and workers’ rights in the face of a government that has shown little regard for either.
