I don't know who needs to hear this, but a "mild covid infection" that results in chronic, lifelong disability is not—and will never be—a mild covid infection.

A far less rosy picture of BC's flu numbers than Dr. Bonnie Henry presented in her recent presser.

@vancolour My first reaction to seeing this clip yesterday was #crymore.

He put himself above the needs of the party and every politically engaged person around (including hardcore dippers) seem to intuitively understand this.

[Tom Jackman @frozen]

Anyone remember this lol?

I’m inviting all progressive voters to join us in this election. If you’ve voted Green in the past, we share a lot of the same values, and there’s too much at stake right now.

In 11 seats last time, the Green vote was the difference between a Conservative and a New Democrat. We can stop Conservative cuts and build B.C. strong if we stand together.

one reason you don't call a provincial election in the middle of all the city elections is that if you wait for the city elections to play out you can check if there's, say, a broad anti-incumbent voting trend across the province

@pattibacchus @ShachiKurl Referring to Emily Lowan as "Ms. Doerkson" wasn't a great moment though🤦‍♂️

@Philheinrich11 @G_Anderson1 @bcndp 1) Why are cons so preoccupied with this? It's weird

2) Let people be who they are and love who they love.

3) Reconciliation is a good thing, not something to be feared.

@Philheinrich11 @G_Anderson1 @bcndp These are stupid effing questions.

There's room to criticize this government's policies without inventing bullshit culture wars.

The number of people who don’t understand how universal programs help all families - and are a net POSITIVE for all of society - is mind boggling.

@SelinaMRobinson @Dave_Eby @nccm I'm not Muslim and I'm not antisemitic, but as a British Columbian I still found your remarks insulting and beneath the standards of the office you were elected to uphold. None of the name calling and noise changes this.

[Tom Jackman @frozen]

@SelinaMRobinson @Dave_Eby I guess you never attended the anti-Muslim racism course at the Justice Institute then, hey?

[Tom Jackman @frozen]

That's great I love libraries, but I'm also still waiting for the hospital tower the BC NDP promised to build us during the last election (and then cancelled immediately after they formed the new government). Promises are easy! Promises are cheap!

Yes! A re-elected BC NDP government will permanently double provincial funding for B.C.’s public libraries, from $14 million to $28 million a year.

Reading this post by Alex Partridge is so gutting.

Esp when @Dave_Eby @jbtwickens @bcndp are cutting supports to #BCPoli Autistic kids w ADHD w/out an IDD, even tho science shows they are more likely to die by suicide, esp girls.

The terror and trauma the kids face and carry is unforgivable.

[Torrance Coste @TorranceCoste]

Does anyone know if today’s announcement included an update on how many tens of thousands of hectares of old growth forests have been destroyed in the six years since the @bcndp last made this commitment?

High risk person here 🙋‍♀️ & caregiver to high risk persons.

Haven’t received invitations for any person in our household. 🙃

Tell me again, why this can’t be done through doctors offices, also, as it always used to be?

@Dave_Eby making healthcare more accessible… how, exactly?

[Tom Jackman @frozen]

@VoteCentreBC Weirdest Christmas card ever

[Inspired Aquariums @InspiredAquaCA]

Here is Dr. Henry's presser today on BC's fall vaccine program.

For some inexplicable reason it is an unlisted "secret" video on YouTube.

I can't think of any good reason for the @bcndp to hide this when they should want everyone to see it 🤷‍♂️

Ontario says Novavax will be available only in limited quantities at pharmacies.
And it is for individuals for whom an mRNA vaccine is contraindicated.

From what I've been hearing we can expect something very similar in BC.
