Unifor stands with Palestinian journalists in Gaza as the death count reaches 246, according to the Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate. These media workers are showing tremendous courage as they report on the atrocities of the war, in spite of bombs, bullets, and starvation.

Will be a very odd announcement, occurring inside BC's budget lockup (yes, today is BC budget day) where reporters are under embargo, but Eby will be live.
Premiers across Canada today announcing removal of US alcohol from store shelves, US procurement ban. BC expected to follow suit.
