We are devastated to learn of the loss of our beloved leader and Elder, Mizana Giizhik, His Honour, Murray Sinclair. His tireless work to advance the rights of Indigenous Peoples and ensure the legacy of residential school Survivors will never be forgotten.

Americans understand: Something is very wrong when three people on top own more wealth than the bottom half of society. As a result of the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision, the billionaire class not only controls our economy, but also our political process.

It wasn’t controversial. He made racist comments. Also, deputy whip is MLA in Prince George who said Indigenous children had opportunities at residential school & appropriated dispossession of Japanese Canadians to claim he was deprived of his access to an assault weapon

Workers at 3 major hotels in downtown Vancouver have just won a 34% wage increase. These hotels represent over a tenth of Vancouver's hotel room supply. They will have the highest wages for hotel workers in Canada. #vancre #vanre #vanpoli dailyhive.com/vancouver/down…

By 10:54 this morning, the average Canadian CEO banked $62,661 for 2025 — the average annual income for a worker in Canada. These people keep getting richer, getting tax breaks, and finding ways to not pay their fair share through loopholes. While YOU pay the price.

Incredibly powerful investigation in Dutch newspaper NRC: Seven of the world’s leading genocide scholars — including renowned Holocaust experts — describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocidal. And according to them, nearly all of their peers agree.

America is complicit in the slaughter of the Palestinian people. 2.2 million people are trapped. Disease is spreading. Children are starving to death. And we continue to provide U.S. military aid to Netanyahu.

While govt says there's no $ for public sector wage increases, it gives $570 million/yr to private schools. Let's redirect that to public schools and give teachers & support workers the increases they deserve. #bcpoli #bced BC Teachers’ Federation BCGEU CUPE BC
