For the first time since the 2009 financial crisis, B.C. is losing more businesses than it's creating.
25K+ businesses exited in 2023 — up 11% from 2017. Private-sector GDP growth has crashed to just 1%.
New from ICBA's Jock Finlayson & Ken Peacock:

Also cancelled Port Moody’s 6 storey transitional women’s housing facility for women and children fleeing violence. Slow clap for the B.C. government.
Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke says she’s “steaming” about the provincial government stopping 954 supportive housing units in Surrey while at the same time expecting it to meet housing targets it imposes on the city. surreynowleader.com/2026/05/…
Why is the provincial government allowed to spend taxpayer money on liquor, ever??

Excellent coverage of an initiative of Coca-Cola that the Port Moody Foundation is 100% behind. And honestly, how great is it to see Freshet News making it's splash in the Tri-Cities, we sure need this local paper. @FreshetNews freshetnews.ca/is-port-moody…

Read this stat today. Canada had 6 hospital beds per 1,000 people in 1990. And now down to 2.5 hospital beds per 1,000 people.
This compares to Germany at 7.8 beds, and Japan at 12.6 and the OECD average of 4.3 beds.
Great news.

Thank you for your support.
Russia illegally and unjustifiably invaded Ukraine.
For three years now, Ukrainians have fought with courage and resilience. Their fight for democracy, freedom, and sovereignty is a fight that matters to us all.
Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians in achieving a just and lasting peace.

Over the course of centuries, Canadian English developed as its own distinct form of the language.
It takes elements from French, First Nation languages and United States English to form something completely unique.
Let's learn more about Canadian English!

ALT The photo depicts a crowd of people gathered in front of a large, historic building, which appears to be the Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada. The crowd is very festive, with many people waving Canadian flags and wearing clothing adorned with the Canadian flag. The atmosphere suggests a celebration or national event, likely Canada Day, given the prominence of the Canadian flags and the patriotic attire. Everyone seems to be in high spirits, smiling and looking up
I’m a fan.
