This is a historic moment, coming out of a pandemic with cost of living increasing and the ultra rich controlling more wealth than ever. We are making a modest request: keep up with the cost of living. If we are successful it will set the standard for Canadian workers. /15

The world's elite at the Davos forum are enjoying every possible protection from Covid, including PCR testing, air filtration, UVGI light. Why isn't this being offered to everyone else? Every school, every workplace should have the same protections as the rich and powerful.

What is something that the very wealthy inherit more of from their parents? This paper shows the answer is "a job." In Canadian data, on average 40% of all kids worked at some point at the same place of work as their dad, but for the top 1%, it is 70%. https://t.co/7eCpZkciWR

14) Let me translate the above for folks—#XBB15 is: 📌one of the most immunity-evasive variants to date 📌one of the best variants for entry and invading human cells. 📌Appears to spread much faster than old XBB or BQ 📌Causes hospitalizations wherever it’s dominant. Got it?

So most everybody I talk to hates this return to the office announcement but it is actually interesting to see what folks focus on. It really depends on their backgrounds, both personally and professionally. Let's go through the list:

It's very sweet that the federal government has "rediscovered the value of shared in-person experiences." We'd love them to rediscover good faith bargaining too. Full response soon. https://t.co/dOx6SBTQKu #canlab #cdnpoli

The federal government will require public servants to work at least two to three days a week in person, or between 40 to 60 per cent of their regular schedule, in the spring.

In this moment I feel the need to say that equity and equality are not the same. Treating everyone the same and asking the same of them is not equitable treatment, but equal treatment. This is important. Confusing these concepts is a VERY significant error.

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell. Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

In the meantime, we *know* that mitigations work against the viruses that are leading to kids becoming very ill and pediatric hospitals being overwhelmed. Whatever the explanation, the right thing to do *right now* is to reduce transmission of these viruses in children. #MaskUp

The government's assertion that the notwithstanding clause used to enact #Bill28 is merely a constitutional tool & "well in our government's right to use this tool" is a disgusting cover to trample on the rights of workers everywhere. Shame on you @fordnation. #39kIsNotEnough

If I could turn my mountain of research on urban wellbeing into a housing platform, it would include something like @OneCityVan plan to welcome 6 story apartments, affordable homes + corner stores to every neighbourhood. Wow. #socialinclusion

Superb new guidance from NACI for over 12’s TLDR: 1. If you were eligible for vaccination you’re eligible for a fall booster. Doesn’t matter how many prior shots you’ve had. 2. Don’t wait for omi specific vaccines…get what’s available

Sept 4 is the deadline to join the BC NDP to vote for a new Premier. That’s why over the next 10 days, I’ll highlight some of the most urgent issues facing British Columbians today. I hope you'll join me in conversation & tell me what's important to you. #anjaliforbc
