Today (Nov. 29, 2024) marks the 5th anniversary of #BCs #DeclarationAct coming into force. On that day, the province became the first in Canada to uphold Indigenous human rights in law – to adopt the internationally recognized standards of #UNDRIP. @UN Declaration.gov.bc.ca 1/5
It’s about a better future for everyone.
Together, in consultation and co-operation with Indigenous Peoples, we will advance reconciliation in tangible and measurable ways in B.C. – today and into the future.

During the campaign, Donald Trump swore he had “nothing to do with” Project 2025. Now, as president-elect, Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing policy blueprint that would overhaul the federal government. nyti.ms/3BhAxxA

Canada once thought monitoring and regulating the price of essentials like groceries was a good idea.
The Food Price Review Board was an initiative born out of the David Lewis-led NDP & the Pierre Trudeau minority Parliament, amid the global oil shock of the 1970s.

I opened a book and in I strode
Now nobody can find me.
I’ve left my chair, my house, my road,
My town and my world behind me.
I’m wearing the cloak, I’ve slipped on the ring,
I’ve swallowed the magic potion.
I’ve fought with a dragon
