BC’s tax system has become fairer since 2017.
The vast majority of households saw their total tax rate fall, while the richest 1% are paying more.
But the richest still aren't paying their fair share—and far less than they were in 2000.

Canada's had numerous programs to attract migrant caregivers with the (largely unfulfilled) promise of permanent residency. New research reviews the record of the latest 5-year pilots, which ended yesterday. @CCPA_BC @jennyshaw011 @alli_massie@Anita_Minh

I've been doing research for 15 yrs so I expected to find glaring gender & racial wage disparities among those who earn less than a living wage.
But I was shocked by data showing *half* of racialized women earn less than the living wage in Metro Vancouver https://t.co/xh3JCtt9On
The minimum wage may be going up to $17.40/hr on Saturday, but it’s still not enough to get by in BC. Our new research shows that more than 740,000 people earn less than the living wage in their community - 1 in 3 workers. @CCPA_BC @LWforfamilies #bcpoli https://t.co/xh3JCtt9On

A few thoughts from me in this 🧵.

Read Ben's final report, which explores how surging wood pellet exports from BC to Japan are accelerating the loss of primary forests. This significant work marks his retirement after 20 years with @CCPA_BC. https://t.co/BEcaBCNHvP
🎉 Today we celebrate @BenParfittCCPA as he retires from @CCPA_BC after 20 years! Ben's lifelong passion for understanding the impacts of natural resource extraction on BC communities has been inspiring.
Happy retirement, Ben!
