Economist: Mainstream media are ignoring this - after all, corporate media have corporate interests - but the BC Cons budget will result in a bigger deficit than what the NDP budget will create. #BCPoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

BC's economy is seen as failing by Mainstream Corporate Media because it's working for the people who actually do the work. #bcpoli #bcelxn #canpoli
If you're a Canadian worker, there's no better place than BC to do an hour's labour for an hour's pay. Since 2024 BC has boasted the highest hourly wage of any province (incl. imputed hourly pay for salaried staff). BC passed SK in 2019, Ont in 2023, and Alta in 2024. #bcpoli /2

David Eby and the BC NDP have done a good job on the economy...and on that basis alone they deserve another mandate #bcjobs #bcecon #bcpoli
What would James ("It's the economy stupid") Carville say if he was in BC rn? We've debated election timing & culture wars, but eventually the economy will be the deciding issue. And by most metrics, BC's has done very well. My take for @thetyee.ca: thetyee.ca/Analysis/202.... #bcpoli

This CBC piece from @jmcelroy.bsky.social from 7 months back spoke about how the old BC property tax deferral worked for wealthy 55+ home owners to win the spread. Today the BC conservatives said they would restore the old rates if they win. #BCPoli #BCNDP #BCElection

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.
