. @JohnRustad4BC has allowed British Columbia politics to become a swamp. Has there ever been an election in our province where so many candidates for a party have uttered so many gross things and their “leader”just shrugs it off?

Asked about this today, BC Conservative leader John Rustad said he "didn't actually see that comment" He continued to stand by Chapman when asked about the letter from the BC Muslim Association No Qs about Chapman's Sept comments or racism and misogyny from Anthony Koch #bcpoli

This epidemic of recent deaths of Indigenous people at the hands of police needs urgent society-wide attention. The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is every day, not just Sept 30. Thank you @LoriIdlout for everything you are doing to save Indigenous lives.

Canadian police killed six people in eleven days. All 6 were First Nations. Today, I asked the Speaker for an emergency debate in the House of Commons so we can discuss immediate measures to save Indigenous lives, today. I thank him for agreeing! #canpoli

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Involuntary drug treatment can cause great harm – even death – and does not save lives. Forced treatment of people who use drugs cannot be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. 1/ cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

Earlier today, one of our officers was shot while protecting our subway system. I am relieved to report he is in good condition now, and we have arrested the suspect who put so many lives in danger. I cannot thank these officers enough for their bravery.

Pretty sad/predictable, that the National Post was like, "oh, it's two weeks today until the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we better start pumping out the residential school denialism and harvesting those rage dollars." Gross.

POWERFUL... 🤌🏼 🟥 Mark Carney: “When politicians (like Pierre Poilievre) claim our great democracies are broken, it's not because they want to FIX them. It's because they want a license to DEMOLISH... It's a model that has been USED time and time again: Create an external…

It's Labour Day in 🇨🇦. I want to thank those who came before us who advocated to ensure workers were treated reasonably. As a teacher I'm thankful for my @bctf union. Special thanks to those working today and not getting a holiday with family. You are appreciated! ❤️ #yyj

1/3This is a story of gratitude in a stressed healthcare system. Last night I was put in a room with 2 people who had signs on their curtains making it clear they had covid. I told the nurse that I was a chemo patient & immunosuppressed. I explained I hadn’t …#fuckcancer #yyj

This is something to be positive about. The same can be felt in Cork. Even 7/8 years ago it felt hardly anyone wanted car free streets. It's different now, people understand it brings trade, community, events, life. Just need more ppl living in the City and a better bus service.

NEW: I’ve been at this a long time, and something different is definitely happening out there when it comes to rethinking streets for people. More Canadian cities are quickly warming up to the idea of car-free streets. "We deserve to have beautiful, safe, accessible spaces that…

WATCH: “Bike lanes are good for business.” And neighbourhoods, and people, and the future, and more. Seriously, I’ve seen more delegation presentations to council than I could ever count, and this is one of the best in its messaging. Watch it, and share it.

“Bike lane is good for business.” 💯 Thank you to Wild Colonial Tavern for pointing out the economic benefits of having infrastructure designed for people and businesses to thrive!

“Puberty blockers have been used for decades in cisgender kids... Their use has been FDA approved, well-studied, well-documented, and well-tolerated for a long time now. And it’s the exact same medication that we use in trans or nonbinary children." vice.com/en/article/epn…
