Working on writing yet another few angry letters to government sellout assholes. I don't even know why we have any governments anymore when politicians feel free to break laws whenever they want without any real living consequences.

Today, I am fucking pissed off that #CRD approved borrowing $103 million to build a bigger RCMP building in the Westshore. Fuck that shit. People are struggling to pay rent, buy food/medications/living essentials & our local CRD board gets a loan to help criminal cops/RCMP. FYI - For non-locals -> many RCMP CIRG are from Nanaimo, Langford/Colwood, North Island, Northern BC, Winnipeg, rural Alberta areas. These places have higher amount of Conservative racist voters too - it's no coincidence.
RCMP CIRG is a voluntary corporate mercenaries unit & they're paid more than regular RCMP officers. Their main job is to protect ecocidal corporate interests, not public interests. That's why I call them corporate mercenaries. They're a heavily militarized unit & many COs are openly racist too. I have dealt with CIRG face to face multiple times, in multiple areas of BC. They're violent armed domestic terrorists who break multiple laws with impunity. They were created by BC government in 2017, under colonial crime boss, John Horgan. I hate that man, even post-death.

BC Cons: Environmental & Indigenous rights activists are domestic terrorists. We must use militarized police forces on them & protect our corporate lobbyists' interests.
BC NDP: Environmental & Indigenous rights activists are domestic terrorists. We must use militarized police forces on them & protect our corporate lobbyists' interests.
BC Greens: Environmental & Indigenous rights activists are trying to do what governments promised & failed to do. We must not put corporate lobbyists interests above our environmental & citizens' best interests.

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.

A dozen #teachers from the #GreaterVictoriaTeachersAssociation are expected to show up for a #rally supporting the #LGBTQ+ community at the #BClegislature on Friday.
The rally is one of a series of events across #Canada that day to counter what local organizers from the groups #1MillionVoicesForInclusion and Finn’s Future call the “transphobic rhetoric” of a previous 1 Million March for Children, which opposes teaching on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity or #SOGI in schools.
The teachers will be advocating for SOGI education prior to the noon #Celebration of #QueerExistence rally.
SOGI in schools has generated protests in #BritishColumbia which #GVTA president Carolyn Howe said was part of the reason the #BCgovernment recently brought in rules to keep protesters off school grounds.
She said she doesn’t know of any such protests at local schools, but noted there has been “a worrying uptick in very vocal opposition to -inclusive practices around #GenderDiversity, both in schools and in the wider community.”
“Victoria schools have #queer staff, parents, students and we want everyone in the #2sLGTBQIA+ community to know we stand together.”

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.

#VictoriaBC council paved the way this week for a 40-unit permanent #SupportiveHousing facility in #VicWest, despite neighbourhood opposition.
With vague promises that “this will be better” than a previous temporary shelter at the site, council adopted new bylaws & amended the official #CommunityPlan for the #housing project at 225 Russell St.
