  1. 3 years ago today, we lost my Dad. We've never recovered from that traumatic loss. Dad suffered a premature death due to unmasked people in hospital, where he was infected with covid. That set off latent TB, which he recovered from in hospital. The covid infection he never fully recovered from. It damaged his heart, which didn't have issues prior to covid infection. That led to his long covid cardiac arrest death.

    This is one of the big reasons I'm vigilant about masking up & get upset at folks who stopped masking & are enabling more eugenics in our communities. I lost my Dad because of reckless unmasked people. I have one Aunt disabled from long covid & in a wheelchair. How many more lives need to sacrificed for eugenics, inhumane public health & basic lack of concern for others?

    We are having quiet, family ceremonies for my Dad's memorial, today ❤️💗❤️
    Love is infinite.

  2. My #PhotoArt tribute to #BigLonelyDoug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world.

    Learn more about this lonely #OldGrowth tree:
    "It has the third highest tree score and third widest diameter of any known Douglas-fir in Canada, following the Red Creek Fir in the nearby San Juan Valley and the Bonin Giant in the Coquitlam River watershed in British Columbia's Lower Mainland"

  3. I'm not surprised that the Epstein Files released were full of black boxes/censored info. It's very common for corrupt & shady governments to do shit like that - after dragging releasing of files out. In the USA - both the GOP & DNC are two wings of same shitbird.

    In BC - our former crimes against humanity Premier John Horgan increased #FOI request fees - which made things too expensive for many nonprofits, grassroots community orgs, Union of BC First Nations, independent media outlets - to obtain data/information. When those who could pay higher FOI request fees - what we'd usually receive are not transparent files. It would take months to receive boxes of censored information. They're usually full of redactions/censored black boxes. Essentially, the government is charging more money for FOI requests but providing far less data/transparency than prior to Horgan hijacking freedom of information act. The undemocratic move was to hide BC NDP corruption from public eyes.

  4. #ThrowbackThursday 2022.
    I miss Dad very much 😢 ❤️ He's been gone for over 2 years now.
    I remember this day well. It was an excellent family bonding day. We had a nice dinner after a short walk together. 3 months after this photo was taken, Dad had to go to ER for a leg muscles issue. He was infected with covid by unmasked hospital staff. It happened shortly after our eugenics government removed public masking mandates. Dad ended up dying from covid related cardiac arrest, the following Summer.

    I have never forgiven the #BCgovernment or #unmasked #hospital staff for killing my Dad. We had him fully protected with home #caregiving for years. It took less than 2 days in hospital for him to get #covid.

    Please #WearAMask. Please don't let my Dad & others who died from getting covid from unmasked people, to be forgotten. It could be you or your family members, next. Covid doesn't care if you believe in it or not - it will end up wrecking your life, one way or another.

  5. We're fucked in BC. BC NDP government are fascist adjacent #neoliberals who are going ahead with more #CrimesAgainstHumanity when we need serious #ClimateAction & strong, #criminal consequences for #ecocide #polluters.

    I'm not really surprised by this. It's pretty much the same sellout caucus as when top BC #colonial #capitalist crimes against humanity #BCNDP boss was running things(Rest in piss/shit Horgan💀). Since Eby was groomed & then kingmade by Horgan - this was bound to happen. More greasy ecocidal crimes will be happening while #BCNewDeathParty continues to greenwash & whitewash #CorporateGreed dirty deals 🤬 Supporters of BC NDP are complicit in their ongoing crimes against humanity 🏭👎💩

    "Eby’s speech to convention delegates preceding the vote laid out his vision to make the province the “economic engine” of #Canada , to get “big things done” and to “build it together.” This included strong language supporting the labour movement, and followed a day of unions flexing their influence in convention debates. Dissenting voices from those seeking more #environmental protection were generally left on the losing side of debates, as the #NDP ’s focus on prioritizing the economy was clear in convention resolutions.

    Despite some delegates calling the North Coast Transmission Line a “subsidy” for natural gas -fracking operations, a resolution to support it still passed. “I welcome the debate, I welcome the discussion,” Eby said. “It’s important to make sure we are addressing #climatechange and carbon #pollution. ” But overall, Eby received an enthusiastic reception and delegates were, for the most part, aligned with the government’s agenda."

    ["The decision was made after the provincial government’s recent backtracking on the redesign of language acquisition programs for deaf, hard-of-hearing and deafblind children.

    It’s not just an organization closing,” said Sarah-Anne Hrycenko, a Deaf professional who received support through the Deaf Children’s Society of BC, or DCS, when she was a baby. “It’s the fading of an entire Deaf ecosystem that once nurtured language, identity and leadership in [the] B.C. Deaf community.” ]

    This #BCgovernment doesn't really care about #PeopleWithDisabilities. Programs/services/supports for #disabled citizens have been cut, budgets slashed; we face years plus long waiting lists to access both medical & disability support services, we live under #eugenics public health policies, our BC government still denies prescription coverage for several essential medications, funding for nonprofits that help disabled people live/work has been fully cut or severely reduced. That's only the tip of the inhumane cruelty icebergs - when it comes to how our governments have #dehumanized & mistreated us disabled citizens. Their dishonest PR speeches do not align with the hard realities that people with disabilities in BC face, regularly.

  7. @thetyee This wording is concerning because covid never ended. Our governments just opted to go cognitive dissonance route/eugenics style of public health failures instead. We are still seeing too many covid & long covid patients in health care. I work in health care. Our government is lying to the public & I wish more media wasn't so willing to aid/abet these public health failures.

  8. British Columbians might be surprised to learn they are among the world’s most aggressive extractors of climate-destabilizing fossil fuels, per capita — and major projects that are already being built aim to make the province’s contribution much worse.

    Seven charts help tell the story of how we got here.

  9. I have spoken to my failure of a #BCNDP #MLA assistant today & they said they'd get back to me on how I can apply because they didn't know how to advise citizens on this. I took the time to tell my MLA's assistant on why I refuse to vote for any NDP person again, how their failures have directly harmed me/my family/our communities, how not firing Bonnie Henry only supports more eugenics & how I'm not going to stop amplifying on their absolute failures to protect citizens at large. I also refused to accept apology from MLA assistant, told them that it's their boss & their bosses' boss - King #DavidEby & the corrupted #BCNewDeathParty faults.

  10. I've found some bedtime movies to watch. Going to watch til I crash out.

    Remember - it's your citizens' duty to question & push for actual answers from your elected officials. Remind those privileged fuckers that they were elected to be -> #PublicServants.
    None of them were elected to put #CorporateGreed interests over #PublicInterests.
    It seems, far too many elected officials forget their main job & 1st priority is to #ServeThePeople. Instead - they're screwing over all of us to pander to #CorporateGreed & not brave enough to stand up to their own inner caucus #corruption. They feed from same corrupted lobbyists' money troughs. Filthy capitalist pigs, getting fat while the rest of us are starving.

    FUCKING HELL - FIGHT BACK!

  11. @chris Josie Osborne blocked me. That speaks mega volumes that I will share with several communities across BC. Her actions prove that #BCNDP are totally cowards & sellouts who run from their own party's abusive & injustices on citizens & environment.

    She ran from Indigenous peoples calling her out for failures to act when she was MP too. Career politician who is going to support neoliberals to get her fucking PENSION.

  12. @chris @josie_osborne And zero amendments to BC NDP constitution without full democratic votes. What Horgan & Eby did was undemocratic kingmaking & it's still a yucky fascist style stain on entire party. Who are all sellout cowards who obey King Eby now. I have not seen anyone seriously challenging their corrupted boss & they should because they'll gain greater public respect if they grew more courage.

    Push back against corruption - while in office & watch the public cheer & support INTEGRITY!
    No more PR lies. Fight back against corruption in caucus because the public already knows it's happening!

  13. "I don't bend on my integrity. EVER."

    Watch me do something here - that no politician dares to do - OWN my own fuck up without being asked to because that is another part of full personal #integrity.

    I want to say that I was a bit dishonest here, in my linked post. I actually DID bend my integrity, in my 20s, as a naive young adult, who once believed that if I voted in every election & volunteered as non-partisan & concerned citizen - things would change for the better when I got much older & we could provide glorious hope for future generations. In the past 35 years, with both BC Liberals & BC NDP in power in BC - any hopes I had prior were killed - by both those equally corrupted, equally disloyal to public, equally OK with backroom corporate lobbyists shady biz & equally lacking of public transparency. Both are heavy colonizers who are perfectly OK using sleazy divide to conquer tactics on Indigenous peoples. Both kneel down to eat at ecocidal troughs, like the greedy political pigs they are.

    More & more people become #anarchists because we are done with multiple swinging doors, lying governments, who feed themselves from the same corrupted troughs!

    I have too much solid integrity to buy into political PR BULLSHITERY.

  14. @chris @josie_osborne
    This post makes me very cagey & nauseous. As someone who is grassroots humanitarian & lifelong environmentalist - never loyal to any colonial political party & only loyal to citizens & the environment that we all need to survive.

    I don't trust #neoliberal #BCNDP - for multiple valid reasons. They failed to do better than former BC Liberals. They've permitted more ecocide under their power than those LibAsses did. They pander to corporations over humanity. Their caucus is full of #CareerPoliticians waiting to collect pensions & are failing to fight back, within their own corrupted party. BC NDP has & will keep on harming federal #NDP because they're completely #FascistAdjacent.

    I'm not white & privileged like you are. I'm #BIPOC #disabled #WorkingPoor & call our current government -> #BCNewDeathParty because they're also still employing a #eugenist as our #BritishColumbia #PHO & her lack of following #CovidSafety because #CovidIsNotOver resulted in my Dad's death, thousands of other deaths & ongoing #LongCovid #Disability. BC NDP wants to cut funding to only long covid clinic on this island too.

    Tell me & thousands of other #BCCitizens why the hell we should ever trust your lying, sellout, whitewashing, greenwashing, eugenics pushing political party? You are absolutely FAILING to put public interests over corporations.

    I am very open & honest with what I feel/think.
    People in these photos are not as honest or open.

  15. #TruthBeforeReconcilliation #ColonizersLieAndSteal

    #Bill14 & #Bill15 are #undemocratic bills that #BCNDP is shoving through. This #BCgovernment, under greasy #JohnHorgan groomed super sellout, former civil liberties lawyer guy, #DavidEby - is breaking its own law under the Declaration of the Rights of #IndigenousPeoples.

    This type of #neoliberalism is right in line with #BillC5 from #GovernmentOfCanada under #MarkCarney federal Liberals(Conservatives, basically). They take actions which are against the publics' interests. They serve corporations over people & environment. They are always greenwashing & whitewashing, while helping with ecocidal corporate plundering & endangering our liveable futures.

    These corrupted, corporate lobbyist pandering governments don't really give a damn about #IndigenousCommunities - they still want to exploit lands & steal resources without prior consultation or consent.

  16. @Shanmonster I had to take almost 2 years off frontlines after getting severely injured at Clayoquot standoffs. It's much worse now with RCMP CIRG. Since that corporate mercenaries department was initiated in 2017 - I've documented 9 of them assaulting just me. It's hundreds if I included every person they've assaulted, illegally.
    #BCNDP aka #BCNewDeathParty promoted the most violent CO & gave that corporate mercenaries, voluntary thugs (paid more than other RCMP) free licenses to harm/hurt environmental activists.

  17. @thetyee
    Post-pandemic is an ignorant, irresponsible #eugenics term - when #CovidIsNotOver.
    More people are becoming #disabled from #LongCovid & BC government is trying to cut funding for the long covid clinic in Victoria.
    #CovidRelatedDeaths aren't being called that either - the public deserves much more public health/medical transparency. Our PHO is a #eugenist who has endangered #PublicHealth.

  18. This comes right on the heels of #BCgovernment trying to shutdown / stop funding the only #LongCovid clinic for patients in #VictoriaBC - which serves patients on the island & surrounding Gulf Islands.
    This #BCNDP government is failing patients on multiple fronts.

    "Newly obtained documents show the RCMP’s Community-Industry Resource Group (C-IRG) will work with secretive provincial committees that monitor and respond to opposition to major projects—projects that may be pushed through under new legislation B.C. Premier Eby says is necessary to deal with a tariff war launched by Donald Trump.

    The notorious unit was recently rebranded and given a permanent policing role in the province, despite an ongoing federal probe into its conduct. Hundreds of formal complaints have been made about its excessive force, illegal tactics, and racism during crackdowns on blockades against gas pipelines and old-growth logging operations."

  20. **I've told you all, several times, that you shouldn't trust #BCNDP & that they're #sellout #neoliberals. They pander to #CorporateLobbyists invested in #Ecocide & exploitation of unceded #IndigenousLands. #RCMPCIRG = #CorporateMercenaries funded by #PublicMonies - our #Taxpayers funds. I told you that #DavidEby was groomed by #JohnHorgan too. I wasn't lying. They both lied to public though.**

    Controversial B.C. RCMP unit to police opposition to fast-tracked resource projects.

    A widely-criticized police unit is participating in provincial committees coordinating surveillance and policing of protest against major resource projects—including those fast-tracked under new legislation.

  21. **They don't mention that many kids who got #covid (then #LongCovid) ended up at this clinic! Expect more #failures from #BCPublicHealth when they have #eugenist #BonnieHenry calling the #PublicHealthSafety shots. I'm not surprised with this news at all.**

    #Pediatric unit closing, #physicians say they are overwhelmed by demand.

    A memo from the #pediatricians to their non-ER physician colleagues said that the Urgent Pediatric Assessment Clinic will close on Sept. 1.

    The memo advises that patients requiring urgent pediatric consultation — within 24 hours — should be sent to Victoria General’s emergency department, where they can be assessed by an ER doctor with a subsequent on-call pediatric referral as needed.

    For patients needing semi-urgent pediatric consultation — within four weeks — the pediatrician on call at Victoria General can assist with the referral and triaging.

  22. I want folks here to know that I did try playing the political diplomatic niceties games for awhile, when younger - because I was super idealistic & once believed that if I could just reach several politicians' hearts & minds - they'd understand why they need to stop doing harm on the citizens & the environment that we all depend on for sustainable living. I was so wrong.

    Now, I want every #sellout politician to be fully exposed, confronted by citizens & held to #PublicAccountability & #PublicScrutiny. If they're not lying to constituents, not taking bribes from lobbyists - SHOW US THE FULL FINANCIALS!

    #GlovesOff - #DoYourJob or expect to be fucking hounded by the public.

  24. @CppGuy @bebadefabo We are also losing 1-4 public health care staff weekly now & it's from multiple #covid infections but #BCgovernment & #media are ok with underreported covid related disabilities & deaths it seems.

  25. When #parents won't #MaskUp - they teach their #children to not be safe with their #health too. They also teach their kids to not care about others in the community. I'm blown away by how many parents are OK with exposing themselves & their kids to several preventable, airborne illnesses, including covid. They're risking death & disabilities on themselves & their kids.

    Our #PublicHealth system is already overburdened & understaffed. We have many former health care workers with long covid & they never returned to work. We are nowhere near prepared to deal with many future cases of long covid & the 2ndary illnesses & disabilities that more people will suffer from - because they aren't being #CovidSafe.

    Our government & mainstream media has stopped reporting facts on covid & on long covid. They want the public to forget about it. Which means dismissing the lives of disabled people like me & many others, who are still being covid safe.

I'm tolerated but feel ostracized at work because I'm still protecting with masks, still keep asking for proactive masking - despite being shut down on that multiple times. I'm in a very tiny minority of covid cautious folks at work & in larger local community.

  28. The #BCNDP #BCgovernment has said no to a proposal to create a #ProtectedArea for an area of #OldGrowth #cedars near #DuncanLake.

    "At this time, #BCParks is not considering including this area in the provincial protected areas system," wrote Minister of Land, Water and Resource Stewardship #NathanCullen in a letter to Grant Trower of Howser, B.C., on Sept. 3.

    Trower is the founder of the group #WildlifeHabitatsForTomorrow that has been advocating for the protection of a 531-hectare grove and wetland.

    He wants #BritishColumbia to declare the #CedarGroves a protected area, which is a category of protection just short of a full-fledged provincial park.

    “There are many #trees in this grove that are well over 1,000 years old, and one that is estimated to be 2,100 years old,” said Trower. “They are the largest trees in the whole southern interior #rainforest. It isn’t just old growth. It’s #ancient old growth.”

    He told the Nelson Star that Cullen's letter will not deter him.

    "The advocacy is ongoing to ensure this special place will remain for our kids and grandchildren, for this grove is unique and easy to experience," he said, adding that the next steps will include media attention, targeted field trips and obtaining #FirstNations #endorsement.

  29. The first #COVID19 #data released by the #BritishColumbia for #Disease Control since the official end of the province's #PublicHealthEmergency shows #hospitalizations decreasing, but still near their highs for the year.

    There were 175 test-positive #COVID patients in #BChospitals as of Thursday, according to the #BCCDC. That's down from 204 at the start of last month, but still the fourth-highest total of 2024, and more than double the 76 people #hospitalized at this time last year.

    The BCCDC's most recent update showed 368 new, lab-confirmed #COVIDinfections in the province, though that number significantly #underestimates the spread of the #virus because most people in the province do not qualify for lab-based testing.

  30. From @thetyee

    Gregory said the database is a good idea for some diseases, in particular for some vaccines that do protect people from infection. But when it comes to COVID-19, he said, the vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission.

    “Relying on vaccinations as the measure of whether people are likely or not to transmit [COVID] to vulnerable patients is a very dangerous strategy,” Gregory said.

    Instead, he added, it would be best if everyone wore masks in public health settings whenever possible.

    Mitigation measures such as properly worn N95s, HEPA air filtration, ventilation and avoiding high-risk areas like indoor crowded spaces are “all variant proof,” Gregory said. “No variant has evolved to circumvent an N95.”

    They keep killing the ancients.
    Men who kill elder trees, are men who kill their children's futures.

    There are more ethical ways to earn a living.

    #ClearcutLogging kills #ecosystems & throws #ecological balance out of whack.

    Government tells us to not fret, that they're managing #forestry better - they're #greedy, #sellout #LIARS. You can go see for yourself, how many clearcuts are still happening on big scales, at several places across Vancouver Island & some parts of BC interior where greedy corporations are decimating the last inland #TemperateRainforest in the world. Our #neoliberal BC NDP government is OK with ongoing mass ecocide - they get money from industry lobbyists 🤑🤮😡

  32. The #CowichanRiver #estuary is one of the largest & most important in #BritishColumbia. The #watershed drains 90,000 hectares & provides #CriticalHabitat to dozens of #fish species, including #steelhead, #Chinook, #chum, #coho & #PinkSalmon, as well as brown, #cutthroat & #RainbowTrout. But the #Cowichan’s troubles are by no means unique; they are a #CaseStudy for a much larger problem.

    #TimberCompanies store #LogBooms all along the #BCcoast, says Jamieson Atkinson, a fish #biologist & program manager for the #Aquatic #Research & #Restoration Centre at #BritishColumbiaConservationFoundation. “It’s shocking.” While #estuaries make up less than 3% of British Columbia’s coast, they provide rich #habitat for 80% of the province’s coastal #wildlife. The #FraserRiver estuary, near #Vancouver on the mainland, supports more than 300 species of #birds & 80 species of fish & #shellfish for at least part of their life cycles.
