My Mom's cataracts surgeries aren't covered by her Pharmacare because she needs advanced lenses - not covered by #BCgovernment.

The government only covers monofocal intraocular lens - when my Mom requires advanced lenses. Government doesn't cover advanced cataracts lenses.

#FuckTheRCMP - they flew these #helicopters multiple times, daily, circling over us, to try & intimidate us. An hour after I took this vid clip - they flew above us again. I mooned them from landback resistance camp bridge.

The voluntary RCMP #CIRG unit was created in 2017 as a strictly corporate mercenaries unit in BC. Approved by #BCNDP government. The same government who has given them multiple budget increases - millions of #BCtaxpayers monies were used for that. Taxpayers monies were also used by #BCgovernment on attempts to criminalize environmental activists in BC courts. Some of the court cases are still ongoing.

RCMP CIRG is a fully voluntary unit & RCMP who choose to join the unit get paid more than regular RCMP goons. It's all about the extra money for these colonial greedy chumps.

2021, from the frontlines.

At least a third of the publicly funded #AddictionTreatment beds #BCgovernment claims are available for drug users across #BritishColumbia do not actually offer treatment, the #IJF has learned.

“B.C. now has 3,645 publicly funded substance-use treatment beds, including 659 beds opened since 2017 with more to come,” the Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions announced in an Aug. 27 press release.

But a breakdown of the available types of adult and youth treatment options provided by the ministry shows that its tally includes 1,232 low-barrier housing beds, accounting for about 34 per cent of the total.

#Addictions treatment is not directly provided in low-barrier housing in B.C., but is part of “a full continuum of support services,” the ministry said in an email to the IJF. This type of facility simply makes shelter available to people who use drugs, without requiring them to abstain or be in treatment.

The news comes as both the #BCConservatives and the #BCNDP government are touting #involuntary addiction care as a solution to the province’s ongoing #ToxicDrugCrisis.

That #political focus is deeply frustrating for Correne Antrobus of #MomsStopTheHarm, an advocacy group led by families affected by tainted illegal drugs.

Despite #BCNDP saying they’ve stopped #renovictions in #BritishColumbia they’re still very much happening. After a ruling from the Residential Tenancy Branch #RTB dozens of #Esquimalt #seniors are being kicked out in four months for the new owners to do renovations.

Many of the #renters being displaced are #LowIncome, either on #disability or a #FixedPension. As a result, most of them can’t afford market rent, and fear they could be homeless.

Because the new owner is doing renovations, not a total demolition, Esquimalt’s #Tenant Assistance Policy isn’t triggered. Any stronger policy is the #BCgovernment jurisdiction.

“It’s time for the provincial government to actually stop this from happening. If they really want to stop renovictions, then they need to change the laws,” said Douglas King, executive director of #TogetherAgainstPovertySociety.

King says what’s needed is a BC-wide #TenantAssistance #policy to better #ProtectTenants facing #displacement, but also to prevent #taxpayers from paying for the consequences down the line.

CW: The article contains disturbing child abuse, resulting in death. #TriggerWarning.

The placement was approved by both #BritishColumbia Ministry of #Children & Family Development & the family service’s department of the boy’s First Nation, but the report says the ministry did not complete #BackgroundChecks or visit the home before the siblings were moved there.

Charlesworth said the lack of communication, #DueDiligence & #DueProcess would “prove to be a massive error” because those in charge of the boy’s safety could have learned the woman had prior involvement with the ministry over physical #abuse of her child & there were documented concerns about her partner’s “conduct with children.”

* #Canada is still a fucking #racist #colonial corporation. 🤬

#Wetsuweten #HereditaryChief will serve a 60-day jail sentence under house arrest for disrupting #pipeline construction through Wet'suwet'en traditional territory in northern #BritishColumbia in October 2021.

#ChiefDtsahyl, also known as Adam Gagnon, was convicted of criminal contempt for publicly and willfully defying a court order to stay away from Coastal GasLink's pipeline construction.

According to the judgment, Chief Dtsa'hyl appeared in social media videos and called the court injunction obtained by #CoastalGasLink "bogus as hell" because the Wet'suwet'en owned and had #jurisdiction over the territory through which the pipeline was being built.

Chief Dtsa'hyl testified that as a leader, he had a duty to protect Wet'suwet'en land, water, burial sites, and historic trails from the degradation of pipeline construction. He said his actions against Coastal GasLink upheld the traditional Wet'suwet'en law of trespass.

The court heard that Chief Dtsa'hyl is 68 years old and has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 lymphoma.

Character references submitted to the court describe him as a loving, supportive, compassionate and courageous man.

#BCgovernment is facing a billion-dollar #ClassAction #lawsuit for allegedly using #ICBC to #tax people for #healthcare costs #illegally.

#BCSupremeCourt suit alleges that “for decades, ICBC has been making payments to BC #Medical Services Plan contrary to law.”

The case has been making its way through the courts since 2020.

Under then #AttorneyGeneral #DavidEby, #BCNDP government tried to stop the #LegalAction using legislation.

#BCNDP is still lying about this. Former #Forestry minister lied through her entire time in that portfolio. She approved more #glysophate spraying #ecocide in #BritishColumbia & told people it's safe. She agreed to help #JohnHorgan commit many #CrimesAgainstHumanity.

#BCgovernment is still #greenwashing & #whitewashing on #deforestation of #OldGrowth & #logging clearcuts are still happening.

On May 7 #BCgovernment #MinistryOfForests announced the launch of a new #Forest Operations #Map (FOM) portal where #BritishColumbians can now access & comment on proposed operations, including #cutblocks & #roads, after amendments to Forest & Range Practices Act #FRPA.

Though the majority of #forestry companies in #BritishColumbia have committed to presenting their proposed operations in the #FOMportal, the project is currently #voluntary, the press release stated.
