Semi-regular reminder than government policy, laws, and budgets are often regressive. Housing policy makes mansions the easiest thing to build, and taxed the lowest despite the richest living in them. Reforming this isn’t “neoliberal” in any meaningful or useful sense of the word

Health care is like firefighting. You need the hoses, but you also need prevention. That’s how we keep people living in B.C. healthy and reduce pressure on the system. 🧵 Health doesn’t begin in a hospital. It begins in housing, income, child care, education and the environment.

A single 👍 emoji sent over text was meant to say “got it”—but instead, it kicked off a $62,000 legal battle and raised the question: can an emoji seal a contract?
