The Monitor
A lot of AI discourse masks the fact that it is the result of a series of policy choices. Despite the government evoking Margaret Thatcher’s infamous “there is no alternative,” we do have a choice. And we should be serious about what that choice is.

Climate Justice Project
For a more sustainable future
This CCPA BC project aims to develop policy solutions that will enable B.C. to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change, in a way that is fair and that benefits all members of society. It is a partnership between the CCPA and the University of British Columbia.
In February 2025, the CCPA closed its BC Office. However, most of the people formerly associated with the BC Office are continuing their work at a new organization—BC Policy Solutions. An amicable separation agreement has been reached between the two organizations, and we encourage people to continue to support the good work of both the CCPA and BC Policy Solutions. The CCPA continues to ensure the voices and concerns of British Columbians are included in its national independent research, analysis and expertise and BC Policy Solutions continues to support the CCPA’s important research work on issues affecting all Canadians.
