You could teach a course in economic policy based solely on @jasonkirby.bsky.social's awesome annual New Year's chart-extravaganza in the @theglobeandmail.com. Here's my 2026 entry: bring our capital home from Trump's USA to build a more independent #cdnecon www.theglobeandmail.com/business/eco...

Did my annual CT Scan last Thursday night and met with the B.C. Cancer research team this Tuesday to review the findings. Though I am impacted by my asbestos exposure, cancer is NOT one of the findings. No changes!

If this year taught us anything, it's that:

1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires.
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers.
3) Poverty is a policy choice.
4) Health care is a human right.
5) Strikes work.

I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

We feel nostalgic looking back on the momentum we've built over the last year 🥹. It's been inspiring to see youth across the country mobilize for true, transformative and human rights-centred climate justice.

We have big plans for next year!
