This Thanksgiving, when your uncle starts going on about BC being the "highest-taxed province in Canada," show him this.

It's how much revenue provinces collect as a share of their economy. BC is just below the national average—the 4th-LOWEST province.

And then enjoy your pie.

This contagious claim that under the NDP BC has become 'the highest taxed province' is nonsense. Provincial own-source revenue as share of GDP is 4th lowest among the provinces, and below the Canadian weighted average. #bcpoli /2

MoveUP has learned that Interim Conservative Leader Lorne Doerkson has pledged privately to the trial lawyers and the private insurance industry to overhaul BC’s insurance industry with a plan that would double rates for drivers. #bclab #bcpoli #bcelxn moveuptogether.ca/the-latest/d...

Mandatory arbitration lets employers wait out workers. We've lived it. Bill C-39 could give federally regulated employers the same advantage. Read why we’re want MPs to amend it: buff.ly/Lrx8VFu #CanadianPolitics #Cdnpoli #BCpoli #bclab

We recommit to fighting the disinformation and hate that is being sown against Indigenous people-from residential school denialism to fear-mongering over treaties and land claims.

And we're determined to continue our shared journey toward Reconciliation.

Everyone (and their dog!) turned out to send our message loud and clear to MP @terrybeech.bsky.social: Hands off our right to strike!

It's one of the most fundamental bargaining rights you have. Join the @canadianlabour.bsky.social campaign to defend it: workerstogether.ca/repeal-107-p... #BCLab

“Working people know what's at stake. With our economy under attack and jobs in jeopardy, we need certainty and stability with a government that listens to workers, not the chaos the opposition is bringing to the legislature.” — @susibcfed.bsky.social

Canada's economic security begins at the kitchen table, when workers can make a better living and families can get ahead. And the way we get that is by bargaining for it — which only works when both sides have real power.

#BCPoli #BCLab #CanLab #RightToStrike

Workers fought and died for the right to strike in Canada.
And you can't take it from us, Mr. Carney.

Remember when Premier Gordon Campbell promised privatizing BC Rail would “provide lower rates, faster service, new transportation infrastructure, new jobs and new resources for economic development in the North"? (2003). archive.news.gov.bc.ca/releases/arc... #bcpoli #bcrail #bclab

We hosted a series of engagement sessions last year with union members who identify as South Asian, making workers' voices a central part of the vision for this new museum. And we're proud of the work Hermender has done to help lead its development on the project advisory committee. #BCLab

It would definitely be very wrong to refer to it as the Peter Principle Party. #BCLab

We've made a lot of progress. But decades into the fight to end pay discrimination, the gender pay gap still persists.

BC post-secondary education in crisis:
How we got here and how we get out

September 17 at noon | Zoom webinar

After a more than 60% reduction in international study permits in the province, and amid decades of chronic provincial and federal underfunding (and the neoliberal marketization of the sector), BC’s public post-secondary education is facing the worst funding crisis in its history. So let’s talk solutions.

Imagine if your supermarket used all the personal data it can get on you to figure out the most they could charge you for every item on your grocery list.

Think of the price for that carton of eggs jumping up because the store's technology realizes it's you shopping, and not your neighbour. #BCLab

When private investors tell you they'll run airports "better," they mean better for themselves, not you. It's a huge payday for corporations, but a raw deal for workers and passengers.
