We need #BCForestryReform no matter who wins to stop ongoing #deforestation of #BritishColumbia. This is a decades long battle with 2 swinging door BC governments.

Even if you had $100 billion - you can't buy or give funds to First Nations to buy cutblocks & protect them instead of logging them. The way our shady government has set things up - if you purchase cutblock, you're legally required to log it or else you lose your purchase. That needs to be changed. It's a screwed up clause created by former BC Liberals & was kept on books by BC NDP. Only the BC Greens have ever fought to get this amended as part of necessary, overdue BC #ForestryReform.

I support my local trans friends & the larger trans community in being against involuntary conversion therapy for trans minors by their parents. I had supported the #BCGreens on both of their past attempts to get involuntary conversion therapy banned in BC. The #BCNDP tossed it out, both times. The #BCConservatives also support involuntary conversion therapy. #BCGreenParty is the only political party in #BritishColumbia that has consistently fought hard for the rights & dignity of transfolks. The other two parties are transphobic & do pinkwashing PR, while supporting ongoing harms against transfolks.

The revelations about the government’s numbers were also frustrating for Green Party Leader Sonia Furstenau.

“This government — and in particular when it comes to anything to do with health care — loves rolling out a whole bunch of numbers that they think are going to somehow convince people that what they're experiencing in their communities isn't real,” she told the IJF.

But she said she was exhausted by the other parties’ deflection on the issue, and by their shared push for involuntary care. She described secured treatment facilities as the “the most expensive end of the continuum of care” for substance use disorders, and said they are not well supported by the evidence.

“We are starving for access to preventive and proactive mental health care services in this province, and we hear again and again from parents who say ‘I couldn't get help from my child when they needed it,’” Furstenau said.

“The response of both Eby and Rustad is to say, well, we'll wait until that person is in absolutely the worst state of crisis and then we'll force them into involuntary care. It makes no sense.”
