Today, we remember those who’ve fallen in wars past and present: those who fought, those who laboured, and those who simply tried to keep their families alive. They died on battlefields, in factories and in streets, schools and houses.
Today we remember. And we recommit ourselves to ending all war.

The government is preparing to drop its first budget. As paycheques are stretched further & Trump’s tariffs cost jobs, workers couldn’t be clearer: It’s time to raise taxes on the wealthiest Canadians & biggest corporations – not cut services or put the squeeze on working people.

For the past two days, labour leaders on the BCFED's Executive Council have been in Victoria to press for action from MLAs, cabinet ministers and Premier David Eby on working people's priorities.
But we did more than just present a laundry list of lobbying demands.

One big reason why labour history is so important: It's the antidote to the lies demagogues use to divide us with racism and hate (and to make it easier for them to pick us off one by one).

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: AI, civil liberties and your job—what you need to know. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.
In this webinar Véronique Sioufi (Racial Equity Researcher, BC Policy Solutions) will offer a crash course on AI, what risks it might pose to our jobs and civil liberties and the policies needed to ensure AI serves people over profit.
**UPDATE**
Véronique will be joined by Ankita Goyal. Ankita is the research lead at the Centre for Civic Governance, where she recently developed the report ”Implications of AI for Municipal Governance in B.C.”.
Also joining this panel is Sarah Ryan, Senior Research Officer at CUPE, where she is responsible for research on the impact of artificial intelligence on work, employment insurance and housing
Drawing on this expertise, the panelists will examine where BC, Canadian and international AI regulations fall short and propose an approach to AI governance that ensures ethical and equitable benefits.
