Did I hear this right? today's scapegoats are those planning to watch super bowl? ...
Oh.. and Chinese New Year ~Adrian Dix
We know that transmission has been very uncommon in our schools.. So far none of the tests of school age children have been positive.. ~dbh
"we're still trying to figure out what it all means" ~dbh
I should have just prefaced this whole thread with "another frickin waste of time. Sooo disappointed with the reporters who either don't ask or don't insist on an answer from dbh or dix or horgan.. #pitiful
oh here we go again, answering a question about Whistler "we all know these are challenging times".. "we ask ppl to support local ski hills. .. we wouldn't ask Whistler to advertise out of province" ~dbh
ya... we get it dbh... it's challenging..
"Challenging" is the recommended answer when I'm at a job interview and they ask me what I'm not good at...
We'll be in a different place by Super Bowl ~dbh
oh... it not a 'challenging' time now... it's a "terribly" challenging time... ~dbh
'it's a little bit of a dilemma... rapid testing in schools wouldn't be our first choice... not the highest priority' ~dbh

Thread re: #YYJ @CityOfVictoria accountability and transparency. There needn't be any confusion about whether councillors are in attendance -whether in person or virtual.
attn: @Adam_Stirling @JeremyLoveday @isitt_ @deardubow Et Al.
Every biz/org. takes minutes of meetings starting with:
*list of attendees*. Why can't/doesn't @CityOfVictoria do the same?
We the citizens who pay their salaries are not allowed to attend (cause Covid!) to see for ourselves who is/isn't there.

Here's the #EY full report: "Progress review of COVID-19 response in long-term care" (#LTC) in #BC - It was paid for by BC taxpayers, given to govt on Oct 20/20; and released to us, today:
news.gov.bc.ca/files/1.25.202…
I question... why it took 3 months for this report to become public? I'm guessing it wouldn't have done @jjhorgan much good in his snap election, if it were made public just days before?
Elxn aside... I find the report troubling. Please read it and let me know what you think.

Dear @DrBonnieHenry -you are a renowned expert in public health, preventative medicine + global pandemics. Spare me your cheerleading 'find joy.. be kind'. It's insulting and a waste of your expertise. Pls put enforceable orders in place to contain the spread
And again... blaming the "lunch room"...
Please provide the stats that back up this assertion...
And it would really help us have more confidence in your "suggestions" if you stopped giggling at the serious questions you are asked.

Dear @jjhorgan . When can we expect counselling to be covered by #MSP of #BC? Your appallingly ignorant reply to @j_mcelroy suggests anyone unhappy w/your governance requires it. cc: @SoniaFurstenau @kulpreetsingh 1/
The reason I ask is that -there are large numbers of people (1/4 is a figure I've heard) who do live with varying degrees of mental/emotional health issues; who might benefit from professional #MentalHealth care; who don't get it; because of the stigma and/or the expense. 2/
@JJhorgan your comment was so dismissive and demeaning to so many #BCers Among them:
->the reporter who asked the question
->your fellow MLAs, whose job it is to represent their constituents (us) by questioning you and holding you to account 3/

I find it curious, that she went on to say (re the hockey team) that " A number of the team came back and spread it to family/work/community"
Wouldn't the same be true for students, teachers, staff at schools - who also return home - and spread it ?

Here's what I found on the #BCCDC website which Dr Henry says would answer our ?'s re how she knows transmission isn't happening from schools: Image

So proud of @Raptors + coach #NickNurse -gr8 initiative to encourage #USA #ExpatVote #election2020 (only5% of 650,000+ eligible did so in 2016) See their Aug 29 vid here->

Dear 650000+ #USA citizens currently living in #Canada,
I don't know what brought you here (welcome to #WeTheNorth land)
But I can't understand why only 30500 of you voted in #2016USElxn. That's downright pitiful by any #voter turnout standard...
#USPoli #Toronto #Vancouver
..The results of the upcoming (66 days) #2020Election will have profound repercussions to not only #USA, but to #Canada . As a Canadian, I'm not eligible to vote. What's your excuse if you're a #USAexpat?
