BIG NEWS: The BC government is DOUBLING its trades-training investment over the next three years! As @susibcfed.bsky.social said, "It’s exactly what we need right now. This is how you build a strong, resilient economy: by investing in the workers who make it run."

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.

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%.
