Alberta's Bill 11:
"Alberta’s government has been working hand-in-hand with the private insurance industry to potentially undermine the protections the public health care system has under trade agreements with the United States, a change that could impact the whole country by opening the floodgates for giant American health care corporations to move into Canada."

2026 is a municipal election year for City of Vancouver. This is an additional bad look for Mayor Sim and the majority ABC Party:
The Office of the Auditor General reported:
"out of the 16 transactions 14 were initiated by potential buyers or developers and not the city"...
"Vancouver has largely been reacting to offers and not “proactively” using its land portfolio to advance priorities like affordable housing."

Leaded gas ban worked.
The EPA cracked down on lead-based products—including lead paint and leaded gasoline—in the 1970s because of its toxic effects on human health.
A scientific analysis of human hair samples, over the course of 100 years, showed a 100-fold decrease in lead concentrations. Regulation worked.
Concerns are growing with our southern neighbour's government move to deregulate many key elements of the EPA’s mission.
“We should not forget the lessons of history. And the lesson is those regulations have been very important."

"This decision upholds a June 2024 Federal Court decision and affirms the government’s ability to act cautiously when #WildSalmon face serious risks.
"The decision protects wild salmon in one of their most vulnerable migration routes" ~ Ecojustice, an environmental law charity
Discovery Islands, located between northern Vancouver Island and the B.C. mainland, is a critical migration route for Fraser River sockeye and other salmon populations.
Since the phasing out of open-net fish farms began in 2020, Ho'miska̱nis First Nation has observed signs of recovery.

"Maple washing" on grocery store shelves with new advertising/packaging terminology confusing + mislead Canadians — intentionally or not.
Some advertising trying to make it look Canadian, when in reality it's not. ("Designed in Canada" labeling is distasteful.)
🤔 Look past the 🍁maple leave symbol and/or colourful ad on the front of the package/container/jar.
👀 Flip to the back of the package/container/jar and review the "Product of..." + "Prepared for..." country of origin info.

A recently released report by Office of the Seniors Advocate, British Columbia, found that "the number of people waiting for publicly-funded long-term care (LTC) in B.C. has gone up more than 200 per cent since 2016".
And, as the number of LTC beds have increased by a mere 5% over the past decade, the number of senior citizens have increased by 19%.
CanAge, an advocacy organization for seniors, was more blunt:
"What we've seen is that the B.C. government has been turning its eyes away from the reality of the aging population in British Columbia ... and in comparison to Ontario, for instance, it's decades behind."
The long LTC bed waitlist has led seniors to desperate situations, including occupying hospital emergency rooms and leaning on family caregivers to get by. Result to come: generational problems in terms of poverty.

"It's really angering for me to see these people come here to try to wreak havoc … you have one of the best schools in the country, and it's a productive society that we have going on here. And they're here to just wreak havoc. So of course I'm going to voice my opinion." ~ one of almost 1,000 protesters at UBC in Vancouver today.
OneBC denies the truth about #FirstNations residential schools and the unmarked graves.
This RW party in B.C. audaciously tried to hold an event at the UBC "Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre". Their purpose?? To accuse UBC of "promoting falsehoods about 'unmarked graves'"

On AB-Ottawa MOU: Coastal First Nations previously expressed strong opposition to an oil pipeline to the North Coast.
"Any jobs created aren't worth the environmental risk", citing human error as the cause of disasters like the sinking of the Queen of the North and a U.S. navy vessel that sank nearly 80 years ago...
"the navy vessel has still not been recovered or cleaned up and leaked fuel in 2012." ~ Gitga'at First Nation spokesperson Art Sterritt
"It's more heartbreaking to know that the lands and the waters and the beauty of British Columbia, the coastal regions is being sacrificed for oil and gas, pipelines and LNG development" ~ Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs
