@CDNprojections Guy from Ontario was lecturing people to vote for Caroline Elliot in the bc conservative leadership race, in which Kory Tenecyke was her campaign manager. And now he’s against Kory.
@AnthonyRussoBC They’ve just been pushed out to other streets such as Seymour, a block East. Walking back to the car last night, my family and I decided to cross instead of walking ahead down Seymour, because we came across a group of about 10 folks on the street, lighting up pipes.
No you’re not.
This Bill won’t just affect me, you will try and force everyone into your Digital ID scam under the guise of “protecting the kids.”
Parents should make sure their kids are safe online, not the Government.
@ThePaikinPod@CharlieAngusNDP@NDP You know, Charlie Angus is the kind of person that would give you funny looks if you were expressing the Canadian flag or Canadian patriotism 4-5 years ago.
Governments at all levels and of all stripes have been very good at creating new rules. Much less good at asking whether those rules still make sense.
Over time, regulations accumulate. They pile up year after year, often long after the problem they were meant to solve has changed or disappeared altogether. The result is a system that becomes more complicated, more expensive, and less responsive to the people it’s supposed to serve.
In Port Coquitlam, we’ve just finished taking a hard look at our hospitality regulations, and we went directly to the people on the ground, running hospitality businesses. Together, we called a time-out and asked some simple questions:
Does this rule still serve a purpose?
Can it be modernized?
Can it be simplified?
Should it exist at all?
The result of this work is that Port Coquitlam Council has approved the elimination or modernization of dozens of out-of-date, or simply nonsensical regulations.
I’m proud of this work, and how quickly we completed it. The next step is to replicate the approach in a well thought out way for our entire system of regulations and bylaws because our belief is that government shouldn’t be measured by how many rules it creates. It should be measured by whether those rules actually make life better.

@CDNprojections Bet most of the disagree, are young people like myself who don’t need to use the healthcare system very much. If I could pay for earlier cancer treatment for example, I would do it faster than you could blink. And by the way, agreeing doesn’t mean folks want a 100% private.
@DimitrisSoudas It’s been 15 years since 2011. I turned 5 that year, now I’m 20. The strategies that worked with a very weak liberal party don’t work anymore.
@AR_Salimii It’s the oppsition’s job to criticize the prime minister and government. We are a democracy, not a dictatorship. Oh wait….. we aren’t that far off these days.
