🧵@adriandix made Telus CEO Darren Entwistle a special advisor to @BC_EHS. Dix and Entwistle have a bond and Entwistle is one of B.C.’s top corporate minds. While other telecoms invested in media and sports, Telus went aggressively into healthcare. #bcpoli
The Telus 2020 annual report management discussion and analysis reveals how important the healthcare sector is to Telus. #bcpoli
Even more about Telus health from the 2020 MD&A. #bcpoli
The Telus lobbyist registration includes its healthcare sector subsidiaries. #bcpoli
Telus CEO Darren Entwistle is a registered lobbyist, along with two hired lobbyists who happen to be longtime NDP insiders. #bcpoli
My pic of Entwistle and NDP leader Dix in 2012. In 2021, data means 💵 , information is 👑 . Telus has substantial health sector investments and #bcgov telecom contract through July 2023. CEO/lobbyist has inside access as advisor to the Health Minister on @bc_ehs. #bcpoli

May 20: Phoenix TV featured soon-to-retire @CPC_HQ Sen. Victor Oh of Ontario. Oh flew to Richmond for a ceremony to bestow awards, in the name of the late Queen Elizabeth II, to Lower Mainland pro-#CCP luminaries Maria Ling Xu and Hua Harris Niu. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanRE #ufwd
Not the first time: Conservative Sen. Victor Oh held a similar January 2023 ceremony in Richmond in Mandarin, recognizing members of the pro-Beijing Canadian Alliance of Chinese Associations. #ufwd #ccp #vanRE #bcpoli #cdnpoli thebreaker.news/news/senator-o…
In May 2023, Harris Niu travelled to Beijing for an exclusive United Front meeting with Xi Jinping. #ccp #ufwd #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanRE

🧵What’s B.C.'s biggest "media operation"? Perhaps only rivalled by @cbcnewsbc, it’s Government Communications and Public Engagement (GCPE), the people behind @BCGovNews. Annual budget ~$28M. The PR dept. of #bcgov is managed by @bcndp political appointees. #bcpoli Image
The executive committee is generally cabinet-appointed. Deputy Minister @DonZadravec spent 10 years at National PR and was a lobbyist for a pipeline company. #bcpoli #cdnfoi Image
The Assistant Deputy Minister's Office of Strategic Communications is now headed by Sage Aaron, @jjhorgan former communications director who was transferred from the Premier's office in September. #bcpoli #cdnfoi Image

🧵#ThisIsWhyIFOI Remember Dr. Bonnie Henry at the @Canucks home opener? I asked @bcndp #bcgov under #FOI about who paid for the jersey and other expenses. Many readers wonder about the PHO attending such commercial events. #bcpoli #cdnfoi #FOIAFriday #SportsBiz #covid19 ImageImage
This morning, @bcndp #bcgov tells me it has rejected my #FOI request about Dr. Bonnie Henry at the @Canucks game, because she was allegedly there as a private citizen, not because she is the provincial health officer. Where have I seen that lame excuse before? 🤔#bcpoli #cdnfoi Image
Last year, Dr. Bonnie Henry co-authored a book with her sister. When I wanted to know about the contract and other details, I was told I couldn’t see them. The “private citizen” excuse was invoked. #bcpoli #cdnfoi #FOIAFriday

BREAKING!: Harsha "Burn It All Down" Walia has quit @BCCLA. #bcpoli #cdnpoli
Full statement here. #bcpoli bccla.org/2021/07/announ…
Can't tell you what the reaction is from @harshawalia and whether she really jumped or was pushed out of the @bccla organization. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

🌡🧵So there you have it. @drbonniehenry misled us again. I asked via #cdnFOI and the @bcndp Ministry of Health under @adriandix says it has no provincial government heat emergency plan. #bcpoli #FOIA @BCLiberalCaucus @BCGreens #heatdome #heatwave
That letter refers to a @CDCofBC 2017 publication, which shifts responsibility to the regional health boards and municipalities. #BCGov has a nuclear emergency response plan (among others), but no top-down plan for a heat emergency. #bcpoli #cdnfoi bccdc.ca/resource-galle…
Horgan, Henry and Dix fiddled while home burned #bcpoli #heatwave #heatdome thebreaker.news/opinion/while-…

Just in: Federal/provincial/territorial information and privacy commissioners (including B.C.'s @McEvoy_Michael) call on governments to respect Canadians' quasi-constitutional rights to privacy and access to information. #bcpoli #cdnfoi #coronavirus #stateofemergency #righttoknow ImageImage
Here is the full resolution. But is it too little, too late? @BCInfoPrivacy has given @jjhorgan @bcndp too much freedom to trample on citizens' #FOIA rights, starting with the temporary March 18, 2020 disclosure holiday. #bcpoli #cdnfoi #coronavirus #stateofemergency ImageImage
Today's statement from information and privacy commissioners comes MORE THAN A YEAR after Canadian COVID-19 Accountability group, including @seanmholman, sounded the alarm.
The statutory watchdogs waited more than a year to speak as one. #bcpoli #cdnfoi
