In another timeline, we build ferries here. Create thousands of jobs. Bring in nearly 1/4 billion$ in tax revenue to improve services.

This leaked report shows the path BC could have taken. It isn't too late for govts to change course — and invest in a long-term shipbuilding strategy for BC. #BCLab

Solidarity with @cupwsttp.bsky.social postal workers! They're back on the picket line to defend a crucial Canadian service—one that helps connect us at a time when we need it most. And they're fighting for the livelihoods of the people who make it happen. We're behind them 100%.

"...That our investments help to secure a robust, vibrant shipbuilding sector, and the jobs it supports, for generations to come. And surely when it matters most, when it can have the biggest impact on our economy, 'Buy BC' should MEAN Buy BC."

"If Buy BC is to be more than a slogan, surely it should mean a project as significant as the next major addition to BC’s ferry fleet should be built in our province. That British Columbians and Canadians benefit from the creation of thousands of high-skill, well paid jobs in our shipyards..."
