Today’s throne speech rightfully acknowledged the sacrifices and loss that British Columbians have faced over the last year - but, instead of offering a vision for the future, the gov't patted themselves on the back for past initiatives and re-announced projects. 1/ #bcpoli
Solving the overlapping crises that British Columbians are facing will require a level of honesty that we are yet to see. What we need to see is humility and transparency from this government. A hopeful vision for the future must be grounded in truth 2/ #bcpoli
We are heartened that inequality and climate change will be the focus of this year’s budget, as they were glaring omissions from previous budgets. Moving forward, it is important to remember that climate delay is the new climate denial. 3/ #bcpoli #ClimateChange
This government's ongoing support for the oil and gas industry are direct contradictions to their symbolic commitments to reduce emissions. 4/ #bcpoli #ClimateChange
This gov't continues to promote vaccines as the primary tool to recover from the pandemic. We need to employ a strategy that recognizes #COVID19 is an airborne virus, & invest in the tools that help keep people safe, including N95 masks, filtration, ventilation, & rapid tests. 5/
As demonstrated by the Premier @jjhorgan in the chamber today, one of the best additional defenses to protect us against #COVID19 is an N95 mask - it’s the most basic tool against an airborne virus and should be made available to all, not just those who can afford it. 6/6 #bcpoli
