#RCMP was ‘unreasonable’ when setting up exclusion zones around Fairy Creek protest

The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP - #CRCC says that the RCMP was unreasonable in setting up broad #ExclusionZones and checkpoints while enforcing a civil #injunction covering the #FairyCreek area in #BritishColumbia, home to #OldGrowth #forests and a #protest led by people trying to save them.

“In its review, the CRCC found that the broad exclusion zones and checkpoints used by members of the RCMP’s Community-Industry Response Group #CIRG were unreasonable,” said the report released on Wednesday. “The review determined that the RCMP’s demand to search the complainant at a checkpoint on a public road was unfounded, and his arrest, after refusing to agree to the search, was groundless.”

C-IRG is a low-profile RCMP group tasked with responding to protests and other public order events about resource based #industrial projects like #logging and #pipeline construction.

#BCHealthConnectionRegistry STILL has no contact info for #BritishColumbia citizens on how long it will be for almost 1 million of us without any #GeneralPhysicians / #FamilyDoctors & this is outrageous. Some people have been waiting for YEARS!

#BCNDP fucked up #BCHealth so much! They can't blame past government anymore because they've been in power for over a fucking decade. They appointed #eugenics monster #BonnieHenry - who is still paid tons of monies to do shit all to actually improve #BCPublicHealth but if we could see all of her full FOIs by multiple orgs - we'd see she's invested a ton of her own monies into privatized health clinics. She has a 2nd home in James Bay in #VictoriaBC & I'm going to help her get extra unwanted attention at that place.

I'm pretty sure some of my local, offline disabled friends now have brain damage from making piss poor personal decisions to expose themselves to unsafe covid crowded environments & getting covid multiple times over past 5 years. I can't be around them because they're so reckless with their already immunocompromised lives.

They seem amazed that I haven't got covid even once & haven't suffered any cold/flu for over 5 years too. It's not rocket science. I haven't been infected because I don't make reckless personal decisions. I'm already disabled, with 3 incurable progressive illnesses & don't need to get sicker/weaker. I am vicious about protecting my health & equally viscious on protecting my loved ones' health.

*Me, my Mom & my youngest brother are some of the many thousands of patients in #BritishColumbia who have been on the #WaitingList for a new family #doctor since our previous GPs retired.*

When the province introduced its #HealthConnectRegistry in 2021, we were told this would help #patients to find a #FamilyPhysician.

About 900,000 #BritishColumbians have no doctor, and while the #Health Ministry continues to announce the recruitment of new #physicians, that number has remained fairly constant for years.

Yet the #inability of the Registry to make meaningful progress is only one of its failings.

More troubling is that the Registry makes no attempt to place patients based on their age or #medical condition. This conflicts with one of the basic principles underlying medical practice, that faced with an inability to treat everyone who needs help, those with the most pressing requirements should come first.

The first #COVID19 #data released by the #BritishColumbia for #Disease Control since the official end of the province's #PublicHealthEmergency shows #hospitalizations decreasing, but still near their highs for the year.

There were 175 test-positive #COVID patients in #BChospitals as of Thursday, according to the #BCCDC. That's down from 204 at the start of last month, but still the fourth-highest total of 2024, and more than double the 76 people #hospitalized at this time last year.

The BCCDC's most recent update showed 368 new, lab-confirmed #COVIDinfections in the province, though that number significantly #underestimates the spread of the #virus because most people in the province do not qualify for lab-based testing.

It’s no surprise that big #polluting companies are not happy about annual #CarbonTax increases. But it is #unfair that #BritishColumbians must pay the full carbon tax when the #OilAndGas industry, whose production is responsible for more than one-quarter of #BritishColumbia #CarbonEmissions, gets a carbon #TaxBreak.

The new system will also have a negative impact on B.C.’s carbon #TaxRevenues. In 2024-25, carbon tax revenues will be about $500 million lower than they would have been under the old system. This #RevenueLoss means fewer dollars to pay for #ClimateAction.

These changes point to a #BCgovernment that is far too cosy with the oil and gas #industry. And they make no sense given the urgency of acting on #ClimateChange. #Disasters in 2021 alone caused between $11 billion and $16 billion in damage to the #BCeconomy.

If B.C. really wants to be a #climate leader, the government must stop pandering to lobbying by the oil and gas industry that is causing climate change and act in the interests of all British Columbians
