“While governments and employers are accepting technology companies’ projection of AI’s “inevitable” integration into our daily lives, we must design policy not based on the lofty promises of what AI is meant to be, but rather based on its actual design, deployment and material impact.”

Since 2024, public post-secondary institutions in BC have cut or suspended over 180 programs, laid off more than 1,300 faculty and countless contract staff and closed over 45 student services. 19 out of 25 of them are projected to operate at a loss with an estimated $300 million annual shortfall.

BC’s public post-secondary education system is facing its worst funding crisis in history. @verosioufi.bsky.social captures a critical moment in time for the sector. She traces the historical throughlines and outlines a path forward where PSE = public infrastructure. bcpolicy.ca/post-secondary

Even on the sunniest, windiest days, clean energy in Alberta is being shut off. Why? Not enough transmission for #wind & #solar. Investing in new lines can clear the bottleneck, lower bills, and unlock more renewables. 📊 New analysis: buff.ly/YR9Q4Fo

Mother’s Day = celebration. For some BC mothers, however, it can mean unpaid overtime, harsh physical labour and conditions that make women feel disrespected. Many of these women are growing the flowers that fill the hanging baskets we buy to celebrate Mother’s Day. vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e...

BC Policy Solutions submission to the Ministry of Labour 2025/26 Review of Standards and Protections for Online Platform Workers by @verosioufi.bsky.social @bcpolicy.bsky.social bcpolicy.ca/2026/04/01/b...

BC has eliminated its long-running Climate Action Secretariat. At least 10 staff members have been sent to work on pipelines and oil and gas. Meanwhile, this month the City of Vancouver also scrapped its sustainability department. My latest for @thetyee.ca #bcpoli

B.C. has provided a first glimpse into its planned fast-tracked environmental assessment process that gives the government new powers to exempt selected projects from existing rules. @zoeyunker.bsky.social reports. #bcpoli

happy to be able to share the full video of my discussion with Karen Hao last week. AI has entered its lethal phase, embedded in illegal wars and mass shootings. We deserve democratic spaces to debate this for-profit dystopia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1B_...

The provincial government frames #BCBudget2026 as a “stabilizing” plan, community groups—including those working with seniors and students and in housing—and labour experts agree that this budget is a retreat from the public services we all rely on. Read their analyses.

Primary care can address BC’s mental health crisis. Rather than treating mental health as an ‘add-on’, depression, anxiety, pain and isolation can be better treated as well as a person’s ability to manage long-term conditions. Our 3rd primary care webinar Mar 25 noon PT.

"Child poverty rose for the third consecutive year, with nearly 30,000 additional children falling into poverty. Today, 802,000 children (10.7%) live in poverty using Canada’s official measure, and nearly 1.4 million children live in poverty using a broader income measure."

Was there anything in #BCbudget2026 to help support people on disability or income assistance? BC Policy Solutions' Policy analyst Véronique Sioufi explains. Join us tomorrow at noon for our annual budget briefing at bcpolicy.ca/budget2026 @verosioufi.bsky.social @bcpolicy.bsky.social

Senior economist @iglikaivanova.bsky.social take straight from #BCBudget2026 lock up: No support for people struggling with affordability pressures, for low-income families and for people who are unhoused. Hear more Weds Feb 19, 12:00 pm PT at our post-budget webinar. bcpolicy.ca/events

Fresh from the #BCBudget26 lock up our senior economist Iglika Ivanova, policy analyst Véronique Sioufi and Stand.earth climate campaigner Sven Biggs bring their budget analysis to a webinar Feb 19, 12:00 pm PT. Join us!

BC has large deficits. BC also has an unrelenting affordability crisis, growing food insecurity & homelessness, ER closures, schools that can't support kids' mental health & inadequate services in rural areas. Which of these will #BCBudget2026 tackle? #bcpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The response to the #TumblerRidgeShooting from far-right media, online commentators and even an elected official in Canada is another dark example of how pervasive anti-trans misinformation has become, even in Canada. Mel Woods writes. #bcpoli #bced

Government income supports for seniors must be improved: adjusted for inflation food & rent costs have risen significantly more than inflation. Senior economist Iglika Ivanova calls for non-market housing to be expanded as one way to address seniors' poverty.

"The future of primary care in BC" webinar series explores a better direction for primary care in BC with not-for-profit team-based models where diverse teams of practitioners offer a broad range of health and social supports responsive to local community needs. @bcpolicy.bsky.social

Cuts to public services, health care and supports for families and seniors? Hear from @iglikaivanova.bsky.social , @verosioufi.bsky.social and @stand.earth guest Sven Biggs on how BC Budget 2026 could impact you and your community. Link in thread. We hope you can join us!

CBC is reporting on the devastating school shooting in Tumbler Ridge with verified facts, and timelines, — not hearsay or sensationalism. This level of responsible coverage matters in moments like this, when accuracy and care are what communities need most. r.pebmac.ca/https://www....

If you missed the Living Wage 2025 webinar yesterday, or would like to watch it again, here’s the recording. 🎬 Living Wage report 2025: online briefing bcpolicy.ca/2025/11/20/l...

At noon PT, join a webinar with 2025 Living Wage report authors @iglikaivanova.bsky.social and Anastasia French to find out why the gap between the living wage and minimum wage keeps expanding. In Metro Vancouver the gap is now $10/hour. Learn about the solutions. bcpolicy.ca/events

“Minimum wage is not enough to live on anywhere in the province and we need to work to close the gap,” with the living wage that is higher than the minimum wage everywhere in BC said @iglikaivanova.bsky.social. With Living Wage BC we just released the 2025 report.

Why is there such a wide gap between the minimum and the living wages in BC? What concrete and data-driven policy solutions could help tackle BC’s affordability challenges? Find out on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at noon: bcpolicy.ca/events. @iglikaivanova.bsky.social @bcpolicy.bsky.social

Raising the minimum wage to $20/hour would narrow the gap between BC’s minimum and the living wage, benefiting some 350K workers in BC, living wage report authors @iglikaivanova.bsky.social and Anastasia French say. Government measures can help close the gap they recommend. bcpolicy.ca/living-wage
