Online hate is often a precursor to violent, in-person attacks against marginalized people....

Survey: 1 in 2 people of colour have experienced online racism in Canada theprovince.com/news/local-new… #BCpoli #Racism
I'd argue our country's foreign & domestic policies, amplified by a compliant media contributes to racist sentiments, online hate and racist violence.
A politician or media types rails against China and somewhere in BC an Asian is racially abused.

It's not quite a linear connection but it's almost one.
Hate crimes up 97% overall in Vancouver last year, anti-Asian hate crimes up 717% bc.ctvnews.ca/hate-crimes-up…

Is it wrong to 'wish' for a high case count so our missing in action PHO is roused from her slumber and starts to take action to prevent the spread of the virus and its more transmissible and deadlier variants? @CDCofBC
#COVID19 #BCpoli
I don't want a high case count but that's seems to be the only metric our PHO looks at before taking any action.

Nov 7th response to previous day's 589 "alarming" case count.
news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2020H…
Pandemic response in 3 goals:

“The goal of our COVID-19 response is to maintain capacity within our health-care system"

Big time fail, @CDCofBC @Fraserhealth. People in Surrey have to travel to other cities to access healthcare.

Some News1130 employees have a problem with public input, it seems.

Maybe a career in journalism isn't your thing.
The idea we should roll over and accept everything coming from the govt or heath authorities is anthesis to a functioning democracy, even in a pandemic.

Should we accept 800+ daily cases & double-digit daily deaths without question?

Shame on those in the media suggesting that.
Data transparency.

We lack occupational data for positive cases, no data on school cases other than a notification letter, no data at the city-level while other provinces drill down to the neighbourhood-level, no data on race or income level.

DBH saying "it's exciting news" the UK approved a vaccine, outside of Russia and China she added.
Canada's racism will prevent us from accessing Russia's vaccine.

What's the purpose of @jjhorgan's presser, other than lecturing us as usual.

His govt has prioritized the economy and profit over public health and lives.

And with no more restrictions we'll keep getting 500+ daily cases #s, more hospitalizations, more deaths.

Zussman Global - childcare question, asking about reimbursing parents.

Horgan - "appreciates that proposal" - lol sure he does.
Zussman followup - says significant gaps in fed programs, asking about paying parents/workers to stay at home.

Horgan - "I want to fix that gap" - then why hasn't he?
