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.

["The decision was made after the provincial government’s recent backtracking on the redesign of language acquisition programs for deaf, hard-of-hearing and deafblind children.

It’s not just an organization closing,” said Sarah-Anne Hrycenko, a Deaf professional who received support through the Deaf Children’s Society of BC, or DCS, when she was a baby. “It’s the fading of an entire Deaf ecosystem that once nurtured language, identity and leadership in [the] B.C. Deaf community.” ]

This #BCgovernment doesn't really care about #PeopleWithDisabilities. Programs/services/supports for #disabled citizens have been cut, budgets slashed; we face years plus long waiting lists to access both medical & disability support services, we live under #eugenics public health policies, our BC government still denies prescription coverage for several essential medications, funding for nonprofits that help disabled people live/work has been fully cut or severely reduced. That's only the tip of the inhumane cruelty icebergs - when it comes to how our governments have #dehumanized & mistreated us disabled citizens. Their dishonest PR speeches do not align with the hard realities that people with disabilities in BC face, regularly.

I'm going to do a full context video report tomorrow because it's important for other #Canadians to know how the #GovernmentOfCanada has tried to bully my Mom since even before #BCNDP #BCgovernment #FailuresToProtect citizens with #covid.

This is now the 3rd time that federal government has severely fucked up & demanded my Mom - who has been fucking retired early since Summer of 2020 - to pay them back funds she's eligible for. First time they fucked up was in 2022 & it took 9 months for feds to admit they fucked up & they had to send Mom retroactive payments while we were planning Dad's funeral. 2nd time they fucked up was 1 year after & they stopped her OAS payments & also threatened her with stopping all federal benefits that she earned from working her entire life after coming to Canada as a war refugee in November 1980.
It took over 11 months for feds to stop threatening my family for yet another one of their admin fuck ups. Their big fuck ups end up putting more traumas on our backs. Yes - we are fucking ANGRY.

The head of the #union representing #BritishColumbia 's 34,000 #PublicSector workers says #BCgovernment request to get back to the bargaining table appears to have been a "cheap stunt" as it offered little change to end weeks of #StrikeAction.

Paul Finch, president of the B.C. General Employees' Union, said negotiators for the employer were three hours late and hardly increased their offer.

BCGEU threatens to escalate job action as talks break off with province

“Until they come back with something better, we’re out,” said Paul Finch, chair of the public service bargaining committee.

BCGEU strike: Talks break off between government and union. The #BCGovernment shows up to the table 3 hours late! 👇

BCGEU strike to ‘escalate sharply’ as talks break off with province

Contract talks between the B.C. government and the union representing public service workers in the province broke off shortly after they began today.

CTVNews
The #BCGovernment invited the #BCGEU back to the bargaining table, and then didn't show up. Complete disrespect of their front line employees. Who does that? Then the BCGEU called the government and told them they had until noon to show up. The gov showed up at 11:53. Disgusting #BCPoli #CdnPoli

UPDATE -> *I'm working on writing my application to be a speaker, over the weekend. I know how to apply now 👍*

I'd welcome some help on how to apply to be a citizen speaker in #BCgovernment legislature. I want to speak there about the failures on public health. I want to share how lack of covid safety by government killed my Dad. I want to share experiences with working with elderly who feel abandoned by government. I want to share how zero year round masking mandates have caused more preventable, contagious illness & how more folks are becoming disabled by this ongoing eugenics public health policies. I want to ask about defunding the only long covid clinic on South island. I want to share how the BC NDP has harmed & is still harming me, my family, my vulnerable clients, my friends & my living communities.

@jaimeJ Thank you. I'm very stressed & worried. Really wish #MaskMandates were never removed from medical institutions - especially hospital ERs. I'm really angry at #BCgovernment / #BCNDP for #FailureToProtect when #CovidIsNotOver.

#BCpoli #HealthCanada #HighRisk #Covid

@cbcbc_mirror #BCNDP & federal Liberals don't care about respecting #IndigenousRights. They have blown millions of tax dollars to sue Indigenous peoples in BC & they sic RCMP on native land defenders. #Colonizers never really changed & are still abusive/exploitive. They never planned to fully implement #UNDRIP.
