This week David Eby claimed "The majority of people using our food banks have been in Canada for less than two years." Does anyone have a source for that claim? #bcpoli Also, if food banks are strained why doesn't he un-cancel the $1000 grocery rebate he got elected on? #bcpoli

So furious to see this. It happens all the time: gov underfunds services, then points fingers at immigrants through flawed policies gov created. This fuels bias & discrimination. What we need is reform — immigrants like me aren’t your scapegoats. #bcpoli https://t.co/pwKRyhZzld

CUPE National President Mark Hancock makes it absolutely clear (while tearing up the CIRB order): “This strike will end when we get a Collective Agreement that works for our members.” Not before. Workers decide. #AirCanadaStrike #UnpaidWorkWontFly #canlab #AirCanada #cdnpoli

This is absolutely an attack on collective bargaining. And probably a breach of the charter.

As Air Canada starts cancelling flights today to prepare for the impending lockout (we’ll no longer call it a strike because AC has served notice of lockout with NO intention of bargaining), it’s important to remember this work stoppage is to end the unpaid labour of 10,000

So many words to avoid the truth.

I have a new piece out for the @TorontoStar today on how the Carney Liberals ran on public investment and nation-building and have swung immediately to the right. Among other things, Canada may soon experience the most sweeping austerity program it's seen in decades.
