“Education is not about politics,” John Rustad said in 2002. Now, if elected, he’s proposing to review B.C. school books to ensure they’re “neutral.” By whose standards? @HarrisonMooney writes. #BCElxn2024 thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/09/…

As a parent, the most important thing is that kids are safe in the classroom. Schools in BC now have no-go zones where disruptive protests are prohibited within 20m of schools. Kids, parents and teachers should be free from harassment. Learn more: news.gov.bc.ca/31006

I am still trying to process the loss of a phenomenal Labour leader, Kim Novak. She and I were presidents when all 5 of the largest unions in BC were led by women. I knew her to be gutsy, caring and strong. 1/2 #bcfed #BCunions

The tragic loss of Kim Novak is a deep and profound sadness for those in the labour community, and an unimaginable loss for her family. Kim was a bright light advocating for workers throughout BC. (1/2)
