The thing I was after was how much could, squinting hard, be considered to be spending on cycling? And that's a big number.
But Translink spent $1,401,000,000 in 2024. If you assume all that projects I counted were really solely about bike, which we know is not true, it would only be 2% of the pot. Which might be fair - that's about how many #BritishColumbians commute by bicycle.
But that's all a tiny drop in the bucket of BC's road and highway spend.

Ask #BCgovernment #HealthMinister #JosieOsborne : Protect Access to Care for #LongCOVID, ME #CFS & #Fibromyalgia Patients
Thousands of #BritishColumbians living with Long COVID, #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) & Fibromyalgia rely on the BC Centre for Long COVID, ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia (BC-CLMF) for care. Many are housebound or live in rural areas. This clinic—accessible only through virtual care—is their only connection to #medical support, education, and physician-guided treatment.
But due to changes to BC’s #MedicalServices Plan coming September 1, 2025, this clinic is at risk of shutting down. If that happens, patients will lose access to essential care. #ERs and #GPs will be further overwhelmed, and there are no viable alternatives. Other programs are too short-term, overbooked, or exclude those with ME/CFS or Fibromyalgia. This clinic is cost-effective, scalable, and already working.
We urge Minister Josie Osborne to act now and secure #sustainable #funding for the BC-CLMF. We don’t need a new program—we need to protect the only system that’s helping. Please don’t abandon BC’s most vulnerable patients. Sign and share to help save the #BCCLMF.
