In my years following #bcpoli I’ve never seen such citizen support across the spectrum for housing-first policies. Almost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for @bcndp to make real change for unhoused people. What a legacy that would be.

@RoyalRoads @ty_olsen I did my MAPC from @RRUCommCulture while full-time editor of @NanaimoBulletin - wouldn’t have been able to afford the time or cost without the online component.

I finally got lucky with a wonderful partner but for decades I thought it would just never happen for me and I accepted that. This thread captures what it’s like to be perpetually single in a world of rom-coms.

[Vanessa Kisuule @Vanessa_Kisuule]

Will probably delete this but want to post for those who feel similar because it's maddening thinking you're the only one/one of very few. I am very sad about but making peace with the fact that romantic love is sthg that eludes some of us for reasons we cannot know or control.

[BC Cancer @BCCancer]

The question we’re all demanding of this government:

“How is it possible that after years of this public health crisis, in which more than 11,000 people have died, the provincial government still can’t get its act together on a basic treatment and recovery system?”

[Rob Shaw @RobShaw_BC]

BC’s addictions treatment system is an infuriating mess. We have to do better.
