@mattgalloway.bsky.social what a jerk on your show today. I sure hope you’re interviewing an expert who can counter his perspective that the whales at Marineland must be happy if they’re breeding.

Interesting that so far the most debate by far has been on the two child care resolutions. @ubcm.bsky.social

More childcare spaces announced, but government can’t even keep existing ones open Spaces closing on the Sunshine Coast were barely open one year More press releases won’t distract from the failure to prevent closures by paying educators a fair wage & increasing staffing levels #bcpoli

But minister, 20 Sunshine Coast spaces are closing BC can’t keep existing spaces We need more than platitudes. We need a provincial wage grid @simonplittle.ca @kehyslop.bsky.social @simisara730cknw.bsky.social @davidebybc.bsky.social @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social @randeneneillmlabc.bsky.social

Every time I come to Victoria I enjoy the gardens AND I’m horrified that horses are still pulling carriages on roads next to noisy dangerous traffic. Why is this outdated practice allowed to continue? @bcspca.bsky.social

It's unfortunate that the Carney government thinks that only resource extraction and male-dominated sectors are worthy of "nation-building projects" Quality, affordable child care based on a fairly paid workforce is a nation-building project @sharongregson.bsky.social #ChildCareNow

Global News laid off 26 journalists in B.C. and Alberta today. In B.C. the layoffs include virtually all of the online team, along with many others. The business is increasingly cruel, and the hollowing out of newsrooms providing fair and reliable information continues to suck.

At BC's current pace it will take 80 years to achieve universal before- and after-school child care. This needs to change. Add your voice here: nwmd.social/s/twitter/4A-B…#10adaychildcarere

"What families need isn’t a market gamble, but a guarantee that no matter where they live or how much they earn, their children can count on safe, high-quality care. That’s the promise of a public system, and it’s something a voucher can’t deliver." theconversation.com/why-child-ca...
