So Canada adds $36m to a 'vaccine injury fund' (with little justification, medically) but zilch for the millions with Long Covid and hidden damage that will emerge years from now - all the Health workers, first responders, teachers, retail forced to work in unmasked, unventilated spaces
Personal feedback on #BCNDP#farce of a citizens survey:
This 'survey' was taxpayers funded farce! There's zero areas where any citizens can provide additional input. You had ONE QUESTION & it was setup to skirt govt failures to citizens! You shady lying demons! #NDP
Your government is RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING MY DAD!
I'M MORE ENRAGED NOW!
HOPE YOU BECOME DISABLED & DIE FROM COVID! Especially BONNIE HENRY & ADRIAN DIX!
MY DAD'S DEATH WAS AVOIDABLE! BC NDP are death dealers!
Adam Zivo for the National Post - B.C. police are determined to ignore 'safer supply' opioids flooding streets
"These numbers suggest that safer supply clients could make up only five per cent, not 20 per cent as the chief said, of all hydromorphone patients. It thus follows that, per capita, safer supply clients may actually divert roughly 18 times more hydromorphone to the black market than everyone else."

Fascist playbook from Trump, to Putin, to Modi to Poilievre - convince people everything is broke because of 'woke', and only they can solve it
'Woke' is empathy, originated from the Black community for calling out blatant racism - it resulted in voting rights, education inclusion, health rights
By that definition, fighting 'woke' is tearing down all the rights and services we naturally expect
Vote for CPC, PP? - against everything good that's been built since WW2
I just fucking chased off Saanich PD from a neighbour's home - 10 minutes ago & am fucking shaking from shock still. They raided a multiple students rental home & had 3 vehicles with all lights flashing on. I went outside & started to shout at cops - You fucking arresting a violent criminal? You being held at violent gunpoint? I have a bread knife! You gonna shoot me? Why the fuck are you escalating shit? TURN LIGHTS OFF, YOU BULLY BADGE FUCKERS! They turned them off & then left.
No one detained or arrested. #SaanichPD once again made a fucking WELLNESS CHECK into a crime scene scenario. These incompetent fuckers got a huge raise recently because our #SaanichMayor is #corrupt as fuck.
I was disappointed to find out that the new rental housing being built here - won't actually be affordable enough for former tenants of the demolished homes that used to sit on this lot. Several low income, multi-suites rental homes were demolished last year & this year. We are in desperate need of truly affordable housing for low income & marginalized families in #Saanich & #VictoriaBC.
I am so angry at how certain politicians are combining with misinformation/disinformation sources to create huge confusion and misplaced anger and media hyperbole about the carbon tax in BC and Canada, especially when it comes to fuel for "normal" cars and trucks driven by "normal" people.
If you believe the carbon tax is the only or even largest reason gas prices are rising, then you have been lied to.
Here are some carbon tax and fuel facts in BC:
For gasoline the April 1, 2024 rise in Carbon Tax has added 3.3 cents/Litre or 3.89c/L for Diesel.
The price of gasoline has risen more than 5x more than the Carbon Tax in the past month. BCGasPrices.com shows a rise of 16.8 cents in the past month from 176 to 193 cents.
BCGasprices.com charts from the past 10 years (which is beyond the period of the various elected parties in power and the Federal carbon tax mandates) shows that BC prices are consistently higher than the Canadian average BUT that the difference remains nearly constant (ie. this has always been the case) and the two rise up and down in nearly perfect sync and there is no correlation to the Carbon tax changes on April 1st of any year.
How do we create lasting changes in positions people may hold, such as the redneck uncle at the dinner table? There is this approach called "deep canvassing," which has a growing body of research. What has been your experience with these conversations? Have they been as successful as research suggests they can be at shifting the underlying emotions and attitudes that determine our political views? 🤔 https://deepcanvass.org/research/ #DeepCanvassing#cdnpoli#bcpoli
Wish progressive #BCNDP politicians were pragmatic enough to realize there's no way to revive party w/current caucus #StatusQuo w/ #neoliberal BC NDP party. If they were wiser, used critical longterm thinking skills - they'd transition to BC Green Party.
Almost every single person I know & almost every single person my family, friends & neighbours know - who were former longtime BC NDP supporters left & joined #BCGreens.
I'm not a member of any political party & am supporting Greens.
"Canada has pivoted away from natural birth and shifted entirely to immigration for growth. Virtually all growth (97.6%) was due to international migration. Only a sliver—the remaining 2.4% growth was due to natural increases (births outpacing deaths). "
I worked with Ashley for a few months, in 2022, on Anjali Apparurai's run at #BCNDP leadership (after Horgan jumped ship, lied about retirement & now works for coal mining industry).
