Once again - we are not separate from nature! “The coronavirus pandemic is just the most recent example of what nature has been telling us all along.” Now: Covid can mutate as it jumps from humans to mink, and back again.

I have long been a supporter of the BC Liberal Party. I continue to stand by the values of free enterprise that originally drew me to this party. The BC Liberal Party under Andrew Wilkinson does not reflect values I support. #bcpoli#BCelxn2020
Though I no longer live in BC, I still follow environmental issues in the province closely. It was great to hear @BCGreens PG candidate @MackenzieKerr97 speak tonight on the vital importance of an Endangered Species Law in BC to protect wildlife, such as caribou @BrewerForBC 👏
