Honest opinion from American tourists about Vancouver. Why invite the world to visit when we continue to allow a drug crisis to run rampant on our streets? We need real solutions that restore safety, dignity, and pride in the place we call home. @Dave_Eby
@mortimer_1@AlderLaneEggs Eby was bought by the First Nations! This is the same guy who is ruining our neighborhoods around town with the increased density.
@CKNW It’s tragic to see addiction being exploited for profit. Governments must do more to regulate and hold pharmacies accountable while investing in real solutions for those battling addiction.
@CUrquhartGlobal@JanetBrown980@GlobalBC While compassion and understanding for mental health are vital, so too is the responsibility to protect the public. We must demand better systems of care, treatment, and accountability — not just for the sake of those struggling, but for the safety and well-being of everyone.
@CUrquhartGlobal@JanetBrown980@GlobalBC It is deeply concerning our justice system continues to allow individuals with serious mental health issues to freely roam within our communities without proper support or supervision. This approach has placed countless innocent people at risk and led to preventable tragedies.
There needs to be more transparency—it’s not just ‘greedy landlords.’ Every local business is struggling under soaring property taxes, rising insurance premiums, and skyrocketing utility costs like natural gas and metered water. https://t.co/QqIH6hRQwD
Proof that passion keeps you young: a 100-year-old barista in Italy credits her longevity to her work. Who else dreams of finding a calling that energizes them for a lifetime. https://t.co/UovCcrJvBw
I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.
I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.
My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.
That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.
Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.
It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.
I want to tune out.
But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.
And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.
That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.
For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.
The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.
It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!
But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.
It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.
We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.
That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.
Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.
And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H
Immigration consultants, and employers, who commit this type of fraud should all be put in jail. Taking advantage of the vulnerable is disgusting. https://t.co/mQbgg1haqs
@steeletalk We have lost trust in all levels of government including the CRA agency tasked with safeguarding our taxpayer dollars and personal information. Keeping the public in the dark is so wrong!!! Where is the accountability?
@JustinTrudeau@DLeBlancNB Everyone knows where these vehicles end up. Improving our policing at all Canadian Ports should be a priority! These stats will not get you re-elected!
