I don't think it's unreasonable to ask our mayors & city/municipal councils to cease giving more annual increases to police budgets without making body cams absolutely mandatory, with independent oversight. A bare minimum for public accountability & public transparency purposes.
I know that police won't be abolished in my lifetime. It would be helpful if local government stopped giving cops more taxpayers' monies, without forcing police departments to do bare minimum with wearing bodycams & not be able to personally choose when they're turned on/off - they need to be on while they're on shift.

I've been asked by many why I don't become a politician.
My answer is basically - Why would I enter a corrupt system, knowing it can't be reformed from the inside & where caucus power outweighs/ostracizes any 'goodness' any well intentioned new politician may have entered with?
Why would I try to contribute to a overly broken FPTP corrupt electoral system? I'd be very delusional if I did believe change can happen inside fully corrupted government systems.

I hate this #BadNews - more wasting of tax dollars for more fascist cop BS!

"Vancouver and Victoria police departments will fund the program themselves."

That means taxpayers are funding these #PoliceAcademies. We are the ones who pay these bigot, badged bungholios - obviously not by our choice.

Our municipal/provincial/federal governments are all bootlicking bastards.

#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.

As the struggle to put food on the table or gas in the car persists due to growing inflation, many Metro #Vancouver residents are turning to food banks and other non-profit organizations to bridge their widening financial gap.

Murray Baker, financial empowerment manager of Family Services of Greater Vancouver, says demand for the non-profit’s free financial planning services has risen nearly 50 per cent this fiscal quarter compared to last year.

#GroceryCosts stood out as a growing concern, the #Canadian Social Survey found. Twenty-three per cent of Canadians reported they were “somewhat” or “very likely” to get food or meals from community organizations over the next six months.

Growing up with a #disability and now working as an #accessibility consultant, I notice these types of barriers all the time. For me, and for the estimated 27% of #Canadians who also have
a disability that affects their day-to-day activities (a number that #StatisticsCanada expects to increase as the baby boomers age), automatic door openers are just the tip of the iceberg.

In 2019, the federal government passed the #AccessibleCanadaAct (ACA), which aims to make #Canada fully #accessible by 2040. Despite this perception that the proverbial needle of accessibility is moving forward, Canada isn’t as accessible as it thinks it is. Many bars and restaurants still lack accessible washrooms; Braille menus and signage are still uncommon; obstacles make it hard for wheelchair users to navigate public spaces.

New findings from #AccessibilityTechnology company #AccessNow corroborated this reality as part of its #research project, Mapping Our Cities for All. Considered Canada’s largest accessibility #ResearchInitiative to date, the project evaluated the state of accessibility at more than 14,000 sites in #Vancouver, #Calgary and #Ottawa. Released last November, the research found that almost 60% of public businesses were only partially accessible or not accessible. Much like my Toronto café, many of these spaces had some accessibility features, like a ramp, but also barriers, such as a bathroom only reachable by stairs.
