Happy retirement to @CCPA_BC's Ben Parfitt - a truly great colleague and an incredible story-teller & investigative researcher who made enormous contributions to natural resource policy in this province. You will be missed, @BenParfittCCPA! policynote.ca/great-ride/
This week, after 20 yrs of service, the great writer & investigative researcher @BenParfittCCPA, retired from the @CCPA_BC. And what a body of work he leaves! A few thoughts from me in this 🧵. If you'd like to read Ben's farewell message, it is here: policynote.ca/great-ride/
Years of advocacy by anti-poverty groups, seniors orgs & the @SrsAdvocateBC are bearing fruit. The BC gov just announced much-needed improvements to the low-income seniors rent subsidy, SAFER, plus a one-time $430 benefit to SAFER recipients. #bcpoli timescolonist.com/local-news/bc-…
After research by @BenParfittCCPA, UK media found that Drax has continued burning wood from ecologically important forests. They documented that forests designated by the BC government as critical areas where logging should be avoided were targetted. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…

As expected, BC's minimum wage will increase on June 1 in line with inflation. But a striking gap remains between the min. wage - even at $17.40 - and Metro Vancouver's living wage $25.68. Join me tonight to talk more about the living wage in Vancouver. vdlc.ca/events/living-…

It’s budget day in BC. I'll be watching the live-stream when it starts in a few minutes but my colleague @1alexhemingway is in the lockup. I can't wait to read & share his analysis. @CCPA_BC #bcpoli
everyone is working five jobs to pay the rent so there's no time for community organizing to build a movement to create a better future community isn't a given, it's a collaborative project, a work of art, a song only heard when we together sing it

New @StatCan_eng paper: Investment Slowdown in 🇨🇦After the Mid-2000s: The Role of Competition and Intangibles, finds that an increase in industry concentration and a decline in firm entry rates have a negative effect on firm investment, and the effect is larger among small firms.
"🇨🇦does not have corporate monopolies; we have global champions in competitive industries." Imagine saying that out loud w/ a straight face. Something that stands out: no differentiation b/w excess or monopoly profits vs. innovation-driven profits. Less about size, more strategy.

I've been to the BC budget lock up a dozen time and never been denied entry. So arbitrary, I feel like I got snagged in red tape #bcpoli
Today's BC Budget is a crucial opportunity to invest in our collective well-being. We're calling for expanded access to $10-a-day childcare, increased transit equity for youth aged 13-18, and robust public investment in affordable housing. #bcpoli #10adayforall🌟🏘️ #BCBudget2024
🌟 Anticipation is high for the 2024 BC Budget! We're hopeful to see a commitment to expanded access to $10-a-day childcare, ensuring all families have affordable and quality childcare. Let's invest in our future! 🍼👶 #10adayforall #bcbudget2024 #bcbudget #bcpoli
Vancouver’s go-slow multiplex policy could blow a hole in provincial housing projections. If the city doesn't fix the policy, it will reduce the estimated benefits from BC's housing legislation by 30,000+ homes. New from me in @VancouverSun vancouversun.com/opinion/op-ed/…
Before today's #BCBudget @MarcLeeCCPA said with slow economic growth and the risk of recession, the government must boost social assistance programs. For example, he says the health care budget needs to grow by 5% to 6% annually “just to tread water”. vancouversun.com/news/local-new…
Very frustrating that senior economist @MarcLeeCCPA cannot enter the #BCBudget lock up b/c of a weather delay. Marc has done pre-budget interviews & his analysis is appreciated by many. It's not too late @Dave_Eby @KatrineConroy @kellipaddon @bcndp.
There's not many things the feds can actually do about the cost of food. But there is *one* undeniably effective, long overdue approach - improving the reach of school food programs. Canada doesn't have a national plan. But it's in two federal cabinet ministers' mandate letters!

Great to see these much needed changes to SAFER, but this is only the start. We need to up the rent ceilings as well.

@IglikaIvanova @SrsAdvocateBC Low-income seniors should have access to buildings - & townhomes - that charge 'low-income senior' rates. That would allow people of advanced age to live together, but within the privacy of their own units. Also to have a PET for company without special approvals. We can do this!
After research by @BenParfittCCPA, UK media found that Drax has continued burning wood from ecologically important forests. They documented that forests designated by the BC government as critical areas where logging should be avoided were targetted. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…

Listening to @CCPA_BC's provincial budget analysis webinar & @IglikaIvanova's statement "bolder action is needed" I think sums up the budget perfectly. #bcpoli
@michellecyca Ski racing has a long history of sweeping stuff like this under a rug. The club executive needs to write an essay on what they need to do differently

New @StatCan_eng paper: Investment Slowdown in 🇨🇦After the Mid-2000s: The Role of Competition and Intangibles, finds that an increase in industry concentration and a decline in firm entry rates have a negative effect on firm investment, and the effect is larger among small firms.

"🇨🇦does not have corporate monopolies; we have global champions in competitive industries." Imagine saying that out loud w/ a straight face. Something that stands out: no differentiation b/w excess or monopoly profits vs. innovation-driven profits. Less about size, more strategy.

📚✏️ Education is key to a brighter future! We're urging the 2024 BC Budget to expand the public school system, creating before and after-school care for improved access and fewer transitions for kids. Let's invest in our children's education and well-being #bced #BCBudget2024
I've been to the BC budget lock up a dozen time and never been denied entry. So arbitrary, I feel like I got snagged in red tape #bcpoli
Before today's #BCBudget @MarcLeeCCPA said with slow economic growth and the risk of recession, the government must boost social assistance programs. For example, he says the health care budget needs to grow by 5% to 6% annually “just to tread water”. vancouversun.com/news/local-new…
Today's BC Budget is a crucial opportunity to invest in our collective well-being. We're calling for expanded access to $10-a-day childcare, increased transit equity for youth aged 13-18, and robust public investment in affordable housing. #bcpoli #10adayforall🌟🏘️ #BCBudget2024
