These vessels should be built in Canadian shipyards, by Canadian tradespeople, with Canadian materials. So much for elbows up? @bcfed.bsky.social @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social @davidebybc.bsky.social @canadianlabour.bsky.social

Pride season celebrates the many hard-fought victories gained by 2SLGBTQIA+ people over the decades. It’s also a declaration that hate and discrimination have no place in BC and everyone has the right to live in safety regardless of who they are or who they love. Happy Pride!

Packed house and great energy for Jagmeet Singh, Bonita Zarrillo and all the other NDP candidates tonight. In ridings with NDP MPs, the strategic vote is to send New Democrats to Ottawa. People who will fight for working families. @jagmeetsingh.ca @mp-bonitazarrillo.bsky.social #ndp #cdnpoli

Over 2000 people died of overdoses in BC last year and the Conservatives want to shut down overdose prevention services. Make it make sense. Ignoring the human compassion aspect for a moment, these sites actually save the health system money. You’d think the CPC would be all over cost savings …

Canadian citizen held in ICE detention facilities in deplorable conditions for 2 weeks. Students in the US legally being snatched off the streets by men in masks for writing an Op Ed. This has gone so far beyond democratic backsliding … #cdnpoli #uspoli
