Stephen Harpers IDU co-chair and Canada’s Andrew Scheer’s 2019 campaign manager, Mike Roman, indicted and criminally charged for election interference in Georgia alongside Trump and 17 other criminals. Roman was also at the Ottawa occupation. Its not China we need to investigate.

Omg I can’t handle these different angles. The security guard’s laser focus on his target. Adam’s commitment to the giant bottle of champagne. So many things to take in with every new POV 💀😂

What happens when you chirp @jessicahadwin on Twitter... (Sorry @ahadwingolf)

Since @adriandix became MOH, total annual health budget has grown by $8B. $1B of that is head-office admin in MOH/health authorities (bureaucrats). Up 59%. Well-outpacing e.g. MSP payments (up 37%). Health system is far worse now. Good ROI? Good use of tax $$$? Good managment?

I am in Denmark. Same population as BC. All public insured. If you cannot get a procedure done in four weeks in a public hospital, it immediately goes to the private hospital. There are 20 and they are free. Cancer treatment is two weeks from diagnosis. I politician fail.#bcpoli

I was CBC’s Ottawa Bureau Chief for several years during Liberal and Conservative governments. Only once did the gov’t try to affect our political coverage. That was when CPC PM Harper’s staff met with me and asked that a CBC reporter be reassigned. I said no. End of story.

Modernizing BC's hospitals from 📝to digital is a no-brainer but it's not going smoothly Staff are spending more time w clunky software & there are glitches And the 2 biggest health authorities aren't even using the same system 🤨 #bcpoli @CTVVancouver bc.ctvnews.ca/it-s-challengi…

Note to future generations: We had the tools needed to mitigate a virus that maims kids for life, but those in power chose not to use them.

My 7yo just curled up in my bed and said, "Mommy, do your ears sometimes ring 'weally' loud but the sound hurts? It's making me feel spinny" Just a reminder that kids, especially small kids, sometimes don't realize their Long Covid symptoms aren't normal.

So is BC still much more Paxlovid miserly by hoarding this potential life-saver than other NA health jurisdictions; and if so, why, since most PH experts believe it shld be used liberally in high-risk bc.ctvnews.ca/b-c-s-stockpil…

But no n BC Question for Eby, Dix: Why do BC high-risk get less protection against bad outcomes than high-risk in QC, ON, elsewhere? "In recent months, more provinces have begun allowing pharmacists to prescribe and dispense Paxlovid" theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

The @BCGreens is calling on Health Minister Adrian Dix to acknowledge issues health-care professionals are facing on Northern Vancouver Island after physicians called for the resignation of the region's top doctor. More: globalnews.ca/news/9466409/n…

This sort of thing almost always goes unchallenged, but so far as I know, there is simply no data to support Dr. Henry's statement that 1 dose of Pfizer's pediatric Covid vaccine "offers good protection" against Omicron.

Imagine cracking down on service dogs as violations of infection control policies while ordering workers that have tested positive for COVID back to work in hospitals. That's @VanIslandHealth for you. northislandgazette.com/news/doctors-c…
