When you hear that Jeff Bezos has donated $100 million to food banks during this crisis, remember that Amazon paid just 1.2% in taxes on $13,285,000,000 in profit last year. The solution isn't philanthropy. It's making everyone pay their fair share to strengthen our safety nets.

I’m proud of the calm, sensible and steady, evidence-based approach of @bcndp and Dr Henry. Contrast this to what’s happening in Alberta, firing education workers and ripping up the Drs contract. We are truly #InItTogether. #bcpoli #bced

Thank you @RamsayCFLPA for addressing #bcfed18 about @CFL workplace injuries. "No worker should have to bargain for their health and safety. Employers have a duty of care for workers on the job." All workers deserve to be made whole from injuries sustained in the workplace.
