  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. #YYJ - #VancouverIsland - #Saanich areas - last #BCGreens rally before election day. If you're free this evening, you're welcome to attend this public event.

    Open to the public:

    #BCGreenParty Leader #SoniaFurstenau, #AdamOlsen, and local BC Greens candidates will join our special guest, #DavidSuzuki, to share their vision for the province and help us make a final push before election night.

    We are also thrilled to feature Victoria’s homegrown band, OK Charlie, who will perform live at the rally!

    This will make this an unforgettable night of #music, #speeches, and #community.

    See you there!

    I'm going with my Mohawk sister-friend 💚

  3. 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.”

  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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.
