BC Eyes Controversial Changes to Agricultural Land Rules | The Tyee

It strikes me as the most obvious slam dunk for gov'ts to look at youth unemployment and the need for care workers and consider, "Hey, maybe we just need to dump money into these sectors and train kids to work good jobs." But maybe I'm just an idiot, I dunno.
For @futureofgood.bsky.social I dug into a new report from United Way Centraide Canada that combines over a dozen datasets on the care economy workforce, showing sky-high levels of job vacancies and low wages.
The report is the first step in creating a labour force strategy for the sector.

A new report from @United Way Centraide Canada gathers data from several sources, including Future of Good’s Changemaker Wellbeing Index, to snapshot how workers in Canada’s Care Economy are faring. Spoiler alert: It’s not great.

I don't know if I'm right about many things, but I knew I would be proven right that this dude was going to try to be 21st century JAM without any care/understanding of the racist, colonial damage he did.
Disturbing, offensive, but perhaps fitting that Carney is seeking (much like far-right groups!) to rehab Sir John A’s reputation into that of a Great Uniter, rather than someone who engaged in horrific crimes against Indigenous people and Chinese immigrants (in part to build this project!)

This is scandalous. Seems pretty clear that the BC NDP either have no idea what they're doing or are more than happy to sell out our province's future to oil and gas companies. Either is damning.
Economist at @policyalternatives.ca, @marclee.bsky.social, said that while the budget error is a small share of the province’s nearly $100-billion budget, he is worried B.C. is selling its non-renewable gas resources at “fire-sale prices.” www.biv.com/news/economy...
Budget error could cost B.C. billions in gas royalties
B.C. hinges its economic future on a massive natural gas boom, but experts warn a critical budget oversight and concessions to industry risk wiping out billions in expected public revenues

If you don't support Indigenous sovereignty, you don't support Canadian sovereignty. This is why I will remain deeply skeptical of any "resistance" to the Trump admin from Canadian governments.
