  1. 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!

  2. 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.”

  3. Most letter writers to our local newspaper, #TimesColonist are quite conservative & cruel in how they think about marginalized peoples. You rarely see compassion in TC letters published, that Mr. Chris Holiday has shown. I don't know the person but grateful locals like them exist.

    "Give more respect to those unhoused
    I have been appalled at the increasing level of stigmatization and hatred directed toward the unhoused population.

    I live on Pandora Avenue and frequently walk by individuals suffering most severely from our province’s housing crisis. I’ve witnessed individuals in crisis and using threatening language towards passersby but I have also witnessed verbal harassment of unhoused individuals coming from the balconies of luxury apartments.

    Public safety is a two-way street, everyone deserves the right to safety and dignity. A 2023 study by the Ministry of Housing reports that 67% of unhoused individuals have lived in their community for more than five years and 23% for their entire lives.

    These are our neighbours, and they deserve respect just as much as us who are housed.

  8. #Saanich municipal government, under #bootlicker, #colonialism heavy guy, Mayor Dean Murdock, gave millions to increase #SaanichPolice budgets - that was mostly spent on buying #militarized SUVs & didn't help to increase but decreased #CommunitySafety. While he is trying to tell us that #PropertyTax increases will be raised to near 10% - fucking #corruption BS. He is #SaanichPoliceBoard chair. No #mayors should be on ANY #PoliceBoard chairs because it is a HUGE #ConflictOfPublicInterest

    #SaanichCouncil is also full of #eugenics #antimaskers. Don't believe my words alone. Watch their recent municipal council meetings. Full of eugenics enablers & #antimaskers. Shoddy council, full of lying, plague spreading #hypocrites.

    I don't mince any words to comfort the already comfy colonial enablers.
