#ThrowbackThursday 2022.
I miss Dad very much 😢 ❤️ He's been gone for over 2 years now.
I remember this day well. It was an excellent family bonding day. We had a nice dinner after a short walk together. 3 months after this photo was taken, Dad had to go to ER for a leg muscles issue. He was infected with covid by unmasked hospital staff. It happened shortly after our eugenics government removed public masking mandates. Dad ended up dying from covid related cardiac arrest, the following Summer.

I have never forgiven the #BCgovernment or #unmasked #hospital staff for killing my Dad. We had him fully protected with home #caregiving for years. It took less than 2 days in hospital for him to get #covid.

Please #WearAMask. Please don't let my Dad & others who died from getting covid from unmasked people, to be forgotten. It could be you or your family members, next. Covid doesn't care if you believe in it or not - it will end up wrecking your life, one way or another.

This is more ongoing #PublicHealth failures & lack of honest accountability. Zero mentions that almost all BC hospitals have lost a lot of staff from long covid & others have quit from being overworked in unsafe work environments. Our governments are still using deflection/gaslighting & lying about public health services. Quality of care is directly affected by unsafe hospitals environment & understaffing. Only fools would still believe #BCNDP or #IslandHealth - they are liars & complicit in #SocialMurders.

"The quality of care is not expected to change at West Coast General Hospital, Island Health says. The closure is temporary until more specialized staff are available for the ICU. There is no set re-opening date with the health authority saying the closure will be in place until adequate staffing levels are in place."

Port Alberni’s hospital ICU faces abrupt ‘temporary’ closure

Patients in need of intensive care will be stabilized at West Coast General, transferred to Nanaimo

2025 marks my 33rd year with trying to get #BCForestryReform in #BritishColumbia #Canada.

The former BC Liberals were big on profiting from #deforestation. We had some hope when #BCNDP took over #BCgovernment but that was quickly dashed. The now dead John Horgan led BC into fresh new neoliberal, ecocidal hellholes. Our current BC Premier Eby was groomed by that former colonial capitalist jerkwad. Both neoliberals & fascist adjacent, white-is-right turdbuckets. More forests were clear-cut under #BCNDP power than under the former BC Liberal asshats.

Don't buy into government greenwashing & whitewashing lies when it comes to old growth forests. Denounce forestry industry funded lobbyists BS too. We need to #BanCorporateLobbyists & to #StopCorporateWelfare to fight more government corruption.

#FlashbackFriday
2021. Chained up in front of BC Ministry of Environment for 4 hours to demand a stop to old growth logging, for Old Growth Strategic Review recommendations to be fully implemented & for massive BC forestry reforms.
