@zoewhittall The sales section on Simons (online) is helpful.

@kylaepstein @OneCityVan @kranalletta @chfbc I came home from a weekend away and saw you (or your canvassing pals) were at my door! Sad to have missed you but glad my neighbours get to hear about your awesomeness!

"The Hospital Employees' Union ... said a key issue in developing a standard funding model will be for the government to fulfil its commitment to standardize wages, benefits and working conditions." #bcpoli #bchealth

Burnt out HCWs need a collective agreement that keeps them from falling behind, & addresses a serious recruitment & retention crisis. Thanks @MikeSmythNews @cknw for speaking w/ our Meena Brisard on the status of bargaining for 58K HCWs #bcpoli

New poll confirms frontline health care workers are stressed, with higher workloads & wages falling behind. Bold measures including a significant boost in compensation are needed to address the staffing crisis. #bchealth #bcunion

The private long term care industry racked up $1.4B in profits in 2020 even as 15,000 vulnerable residents died in care. The current total now exceeds 20,000 – one of the worst records in the world. A🧵⬇️ 1/4

@NoLore The BCCDC does have data on healthcare workers who have had COVID but only up to Oct 2021. https://t.co/a3HUquyJlk

I am not excited that mask restriction was lifted in BC but am very excited about the graphic design in the message. I think I am the Moose...or the sea turtle? What's behind the sea turtle?

[BC Government News @BCGovNews]

As restrictions lift, many people will be going at their own pace. Businesses and event organizers can choose to continue requiring masks. Let’s be respectful and kind, and consider others' situations and comfort levels. Thanks for doing your part. https://t.co/8Rz6gITRYu

"On top of severe exhaustion and burnout from working through two years of COVID-19, health care workers now face both massive system backlogs and a shortage of colleagues to cope with demands." #bchealth #bcpoli #bcunion

[Gary Kinsman @GaryWKinsman]

Making mask wearing the individual responsibility of the people most affected by COVID is a deadly consequence of how neoliberalism has worked to destroy social and collective responsibility. This goes against all that was learned about safer practices in the AIDS crisis.

We all rise together. Happy International Womens' Day! Today we are celebrating all women, and their many contributions to the world, knowing that in solidarity we are stronger.

as hard as it is for me to agree with the Greens...i can't help to on this point...

[CBCEarlyEdition @CBCEarlyEdition]

The BC Greens want the NDP to recognize that COVID-19 is an airborne virus. We'll speak to Sonia Furstenau at 6:50 .
