Email your MLA: Protect the Human Rights Code The Human Rights Code is the bedrock of our protections from discrimination in British Columbia.

We're still in disbelief that any MLA would try to repeal the entirety of the Human Rights Code. For over 50 years, this law has protected you from discrimination. Tell your MLA: Improve the law, don't shred it. win.newmode.net/bchumanrights

A Dangerous Step Back Scrapping B.C.’s human rights protections would legalize discrimination and drag the province further into needless culture wars.

Independent MLA Tara Armstrong introduced a bill in BC today to repeal the BC Human Rights Code, abolish the Human Rights Tribunal, and fire the BC Human Rights Commissioner. And the BC Conservatives supported the bill.

Trans rights are human rights & anything that happens to them can happen to you.

You want a canary in the coalmine? That happened long ago, USA. Wake up.

They're taking driver's licenses away from trans people. That's... VITAL identification. Can they even LEAVE the country? Maybe not.

You should not be working on the railroad all the live-long day, nor should you be working on the railroad just to pass the time away. You should be working on the railroad for the duration of a reasonable shift, for fair wages.

Canada needs to break up grocery monopolies and curb corporate greed Corporate greed, particularly among grocery monopolies, is what's really driving up food prices in Canada.

Corporate greed, particularly among grocery monopolies, is what’s really driving up food prices in Canada.

β€œEconomists have long argued that Canada’s grocery monopolies need to be broken up to create more competition, leading to lower prices and improved food security.”

Guy who opened Canadian print media up to American ownership says what, now?

I appreciate Harper for coming out soundly against America the weekend after Poilievre got re-confirmed as leader, but let’s not pretend Harper bears no responsibility for where we are now. He does. A lot.

X offices raided in France as prosecutors investigate child abuse images and deepfakes French prosecutors have raided the offices of social media platform X as part of an investigation into allegations of spreading child sexual abuse images and deepfakes.

France continues to not fuck around with American technocracy.

Sure would be nice or us Canadians could get on their page too.

Between X and PostMedia, we’re letting the enemy in our front door, because they’re both controlled by the worst America has to offer.

baffling that the media isn’t making more of an issue out of how carney is gutting key federal agencies/depts and what that’s going to mean for gov capacity when we’re supposed to be more independent and capable.

food inspection, health canada, statscan, global affairs β€” all being cut, and more

Did Donald Trump's US just 'unlawfully abduct two people from Scotland'? THE US Government is being pushed to explain whether it ignored a Scottish court order and β€œabducted two people from Scotland”

If you're a BC resident and hate culture war politics and racism we could sure use some donations to fuel the Recall Tara Armstrong campaign. You can donate here: recallarmstrong.ca/donate

A chopping device and 25 pounds of bell peppers getting chopped

A chopping device and 25 pounds of bell peppers getting chopped

I came downtown to volunteer & getting here was depressing, for reasons.

But then I prepared food for 3 hours that will feed the less fortunate. I became part of the solution for a bit.

I implore you to consider volunteering if the world makes you feel hopeless.

Good people are doing good. #yyj

How public grocery stores could work in Canada - CCPA Chances are you spent some of your holiday gatherings talking about the price of food. Costs to consumers have increased by almost 30 per cent since 2020, while mega-grocers doubled their profit margi...

Imagine walking into a grocery store where the goal is feeding people, not buying Galen another yacht.

​Public grocery stores work, and they’d save Canadians 30-45%. We need to stop letting these corporate parasites bleed us dry.

Food costs up 30%. Grocer profits up 120%. They are robbing us.

Robin taking a bath, you can almost sense the release from the daily grind….a bit of solitude at last.

This is another piece of Canadian history I'm just hearing for the first time. On one side, a gov't dehumanizing people.

And then on the other side, an incredible human who dedicated his life to service, kindness, and transformational change that has a lasting and positive impact on our country.
