CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
John Horgan believed in the power of public service. He saw it as a privilege, as a way to help others and to make our country better.
He loved British Columbia. As Premier, he had a tenacity, passion, and dedication for his work that very few could match. Through the pandemic, through wildfires and floods — through everything — he led with courage and warmth. He was a true progressive—a leader on climate action, affordable childcare, and Reconciliation. He championed the economy and clean energy, and he advocated for workers. And he always believed that we would get more done if we worked together.
My thoughts are with his wife, Ellie, his two sons, and all those who loved him. I will miss him dearly.
Good observations, @andrew_leach.
No less than three weeks after questioning @FoodProfessor on the real drivers of food price volatility (climate change!), he comes out with this.
A “peer-reviewed” piece funded by an anti-carbon price lobby group, founded by none other than the CPC’ @johnwilliamson_ !
You can’t make this up, folks. #cdnpoli
I attended the Remembrance Day ceremony in Whitby and the Chaplain led us in multiple prayers. People know Poilievre lies, and he knowingly does so regularly, but to lie and politicize Remembrance Day is beyond shameful; It’s disgraceful and dishonourable.
Grow up!
#cdnpoli
This is why Pierre Poilievre lies. This is why all Conservatives lie. If we address this, Conservatives have nothing.
Regulate social media
Prohibit foreign ownership of media
Outlaw lying in Parliament
Mandate security clearances

is the left “obsessed” with gender, sexuality, race, etc, or are they just constantly having to defend people in marginalized groups against a right wing that’s ACTUALLY obsessed with gender, sexuality, race, etc
@nuckaround For at least the last season or more Makar has been a net-minus on defense whereas Huggy has become a shutdown guy. Similar offense, huge gap on defense. Makar’s basically just a trailing forward now.
Can’t help but note the efforts to work up rage about a false story about banning prayer at Remembrance Day from the same folks who brought coffee and donuts to the people dancing on the grave of the Unknown Soldier.
“That Putin would prefer Poilievre to run this country speaks volumes. Not because Poilievre would be an ally or useful idiot, but because — like Trump — he’s an imbecile.”
Pierre Poilievre’s silence on Russian right-wing propaganda in Canada is deafening https://t.co/ouYV0dBf4d
Harper FIRED democratic reform minister Pierre Poilievre.
Harper FIRED housing minister Pierre Poilievre.
O'Toole FIRED finance critic Pierre Poilievre.
NOBODY in the Conservative Party thinks he is competent.

Very simply. Any political pundit in Canada who doesn’t condemn this attempt to politicize a sacred event with blatant lying is not deserving of this country. #canpoli#canmediafails
@imacSportsnet I’d love to see these suspensions be “as long as your victim is out” plus two or three games. You want to get rid of those hits, do that.
Today, Statistics Canada revised 🇨🇦’s cumulative economic growth higher by 1.3% for the 2021 to 2023 period, including the 2021 revision to 6.0% vs 5.3%. The revision means that 🇨🇦’s per capita GDP from 2019 to 2023 did not decline, but fully recovered after the global pandemic.
Rental market softening rapidly in Canada....and that's even before impact of declining temp resident cohort in 2025-26 and a 6% expansion in purpose-built rental stock due to record construction activity over the next couple years.
