@cpk@IanRunkle With the additional leaked body cam footage today this is more likely damage control. Body cam footage not looking great on the cop or this CEO. He basically tells the cop find a reason to arrest them and then they arrest him right after.
This is absolutely insane.
Another maternity diversion at Ridge Meadows Hospital.
From 8:00 a.m. on June 5 until 8:00 a.m. on June 8, expectant mothers who need hospital-based maternity care will be diverted away from Ridge Meadows Hospital because there isn’t enough obstetrician coverage.
The Health Minister stood in the Legislature and claimed the NDP is hard at work making healthcare better.
Better?
ERs are closing, maternity wards are diverting expectant mothers, families are being told to drive to another community for care, and healthcare workers are exhausted and stretched thin.
The NDP would have you believe the Conservatives are the extreme ones. Apparently thinking a mother should be able to deliver her baby in her own community is now a radical position.
It’s not. It’s common sense.
After nine years of the NDP, this isn’t an isolated incident. It’s a pattern. ER closures, maternity diversions, and service interruptions are becoming routine across British Columbia.
The system is failing in plain sight.
I am outraged by the B.C. Review Board’s slippery slope normalization of someone who killed their children.
A conditional discharge is not a minor administrative step. It is part of a process that moves him closer to greater freedom.
This is an individual who since incarcerated has had incidents of verbal aggression and threatening behaviour toward staff and in a previous hearing said the public should “lighten up”.
This is also an individual who successfully changed his legal name.
Promised reviews and reforms of the BC Review Board have amounted to not a damn thing. The status quo remains and victims and the public suffer as a result.
Canadian citizenship should mean something!
.@KerryLynneFindl is right. The people who determine Canada’s political future should be Canadian citizens.
For too long, politicians have treated citizenship as little more than paperwork. It isn’t. Citizenship carries rights, responsibilities, and a commitment to this country.
When it comes to choosing governments, selecting leaders, and shaping the direction of our province and nation, Canadians should have the final say.
Kerry-Lynne is willing to have that conversation when too many others are afraid to even raise the question.
That’s leadership!
WHO REALLY CONTROLS BRITISH COLUMBIA'S PUBLIC LANDS?
British Columbians are waking up to a troubling reality: decisions affecting millions of hectares of public land are increasingly being negotiated behind closed doors, with little public scrutiny and limited input from the communities most affected.
From forestry and mining to recreation, tourism, hunting, fishing, and access to Crown land, these decisions have enormous consequences for the future of our province. Yet many local governments, businesses, workers, and residents are finding out about major land-use changes only after agreements have already been negotiated.
The question is simple: who is making these decisions, and who is being left out?
Across coastal British Columbia, new governance frameworks are emerging that shift authority over public lands. While reconciliation and respectful relationships with First Nations are important objectives, reconciliation should not come at the expense of transparency, public accountability, and democratic oversight.
Public land belongs to all British Columbians.
Families who rely on forestry jobs, contractors who depend on resource development, tourism operators, recreational users, municipalities, and taxpayers all have a stake in how these lands are managed. They deserve to know what is being negotiated, how decisions are being made, and what the long-term consequences will be.
Instead, many communities are facing uncertainty.
Will resource projects still move forward?
Will access to Crown land be maintained?
Will local governments have a meaningful voice?
Will workers and businesses have certainty to invest and create jobs?
These are not unreasonable questions. They are questions every responsible government should be prepared to answer openly and transparently.
British Columbia's economy has already been weakened by declining forestry activity, mill closures, investment leaving the province, and growing barriers to responsible resource development. Communities that have built their livelihoods around these industries cannot afford more uncertainty.
The public deserves a seat at the table.
Major land-use decisions should be transparent. Agreements that affect public lands should be publicly available. Municipalities, stakeholders, workers, and residents should be consulted before decisions are finalized, not after.
The issue is not whether reconciliation should occur.
The issue is whether British Columbians are being asked to accept major changes to the management of public lands without the transparency, consultation, and accountability that a healthy democracy requires.
When decisions affecting the future of entire regions are made behind closed doors, trust erodes.
And when trust erodes, everyone loses.
@ChrisKFilms@DonnieandDhali I think should implies that its in an ideal world which is why I put Carle but agree that Woodcroft is more realistic and not bad.
@JohnRustad4BC For NDP he was very moderate and a much lesser evil to what we have today. I think he realized that despite being in opposition to it that they had to go forward with it for stability and thats something he got right.
Good work: In a nutshell we know from media reports now, Canadian ports are infiltrated by PRC intelligence and mafia, HA, Iran; Long haul trucking and airports significantly infiltrated by Indian transnational mafia, with separatist terroristic links abroad; what is not publicized yet is small aircraft among other institutions, and foreign pilots with PRC links.
🚨 UPDATE!!!
Mark Carney is ordering government lawyers NOT to defend your property rights in court.
Homeowners deserve certainty, not chaos and legal battles.
Conservatives are forcing a vote on Monday to protect your home ownership.
Watch this:
One of the most pivotal cases on freedom of expression in Canada is Keegstra.
Keegstra the person is an awful person.
Freedom of speech/expression cases are not fought about speech people like. It's fought over speech people despise and find odious.
Two overdose prevention sites already turned parts of downtown Vancouver into magnets for disorder, crime, open drug use, and fear for residents and businesses.
Now the NDP wants to try it again and expects people to believe “this time will be different.”
British Columbians were promised recovery, treatment, and safer communities. Instead, we got FAILED experiments, neighbourhood decay, and politicians hiding behind health authorities while communities deal with the fallout.
People have HAD ENOUGH.
Nothing says captain canada like paying fraudsters with tax dollars to attempt to smear a sitting MP for daring to talk about <checks notes> Canada's first PM
Way to go Mark
I always thought the role of media was to hold the powerful accountable and to unapologetically seek the truth.
Apparently, the CBC views it as trying to deceive and trick individual citizens (and opposition Members of Parliament) into bizarre and intentional “traps”.
It’s something you would expect from a university fraternity, not a taxpayer-funded broadcaster.
I want answers. Why is the taxpayer-funded broadcaster contacting Canadians and a Member of Parliament in disguise and trying to trick us into participating in a twisted social experiment, in partnership with American leftists like Igor Vamos?
Will taxpayers also need to cover the legal bills for CBC in the inevitable lawsuits they are about to face?
I interviewed more than 300 Canadians for my documentaries (and didn't receive any taxpayer money).
Not once did I engage in garbage like this.
The headline makes it seem like 1/3 of foreign students on expired visas who are already here are leaving.
But the Libs have no plan to get them to leave, and no way to track if they do.
The headline below = hundreds of thousands of NEW foreign students are still coming in.
HAHA holy hell
The Liberals are preparing a $6 BILLION media bailout for the legacy media cartel (that owns 80%+ of the news media in Canada)
They literally want to create the equivalent of not one, not two, but FOUR CBCs, all paid for by you
