To add to @aaronwherry.bsky.social ‘s point, what has been fundamentally missing from the conversation is that BC’s prosperity no longer rests on extractive natural resources, but on our attractiveness to globally orientated, high productivity service workers & firms.

The NDP lost 100 seats in the student vote last night. Young people want a housing future that offers options beyond "a tiny apartment or waiting for 20 years on a social housing list." The Canadian left needs to create a positive, middle-class vision for the future.
