This isn't "dissent", @dimitrilascaris. These are illegal actions.

And where is the so-called 'left' opposing "live with it". Total silence.

Leftists must oppose the suppression of dissent—even when we disagree with the dissenters canadiandimension.com/articles/view/… #BCpoli #cdnpoli
I've been very disappointed with every GPC leadership candidate.

None of them are speaking out on the unethical, immoral, unequal 'live with it' pandemic approach.

The 'left' seems to want to obey govt at all costs in this country.
In May 2021 re Vaccine passports/cards/mandates

Joint Statement by Federal, Provincial and Territorial Privacy Commissioners
priv.gc.ca/en/opc-news/sp…

"...it is an encroachment on civil liberties that should be taken only after careful consideration."

Where's the 'left' on this
"Vaccine passports must be decommissioned if, at any time, it is determined that they are not a necessary, effective or proportionate response to address their public health purposes."

Silence from the 'left' in this country. They're not effective & only segregate to punish.
I'm now leaning to support it.

The FINTRAC thing is probably the most impactful.

I don't see this as an overreach by the fed govt. They were pushed to 'do something', they had to.
Who is disproportionately being affected by this pandemic?

Low-income, racialize, women, seniors, medically vulnerable.

In other words, the so-called 'left' base. Yet where are the leaders of the left? Out in left field wanting more capitalism.
If you drill down on the 'leaders' of the 'left' in this country, you'll find millionaires who amassed their wealth through capitalism (most likely inheritance).

'live with it' = status quo

By not opposing that toxic policy, the 'left' shows their true colours. Capitalists.

Trust in media. It was already low pre-covid and it's gotten much much worse. Some media are playing victim, taking no responsibility for the mess they helped create.

"covid is spread by droplets, close contact"
"little in-school transmission"
"endemic"
"mild"

This thread is about vaccine mandates and how media has contributed to the govt's 'divide society, spread misinformation so we can live with it' nonsense.

Has any media said vaccines are by informed consent? Of course not.

They are though.

I'll exclude hospitals, care homes, group homes etc as vaccines are already mandated, new hires know going in the requirements.

That thread was bizarre, in Canada happening now. We have literal insurrectionists, being either directed but certainly supported by US citizens with unknown links to the US govt or US security agencies.

What the hell is going on in this country?
I notice a few self-described progressives/socialists/leftists in this country now supporting the insurrectionists. How their 'rights' are being somehow violated.

The political pendulum is being remade. There is no more left/right split. The left has all but disappeared
We have capitalist-authoritarian govts abandoning public health for capitalism, and the 'left' has embraced that for some reason, leaving the vulnerable to fend for themselves.

I say authoritarian because who is saying #COVIDisAirborne and making evidence/science-based policy?

If Canada had chosen #COVIDzero instead of 'live with it' and a 'vaccine-only' strategy, none of this would be happening.

It's the failure of PHOs causing all of this. @CDCofBC

Countries choosing elimination, enjoy more freedoms, less restrictions & better economic outcomes.
The forced vaccination scheme PHOs chose for us is failing to protect us and it's causing a societal divide, where no divide was there before, breaking up families, marriages, livelihoods.

As our healthcare systems crash around us.
In the history of humanity, there has never been a benefit to segregating a portion of society.

The opposite happens. People rebel, and we're seeing some in this country rebel against this forced vaccination scheme. I don't support their process but I do oppose vaccine cards

CTV News has learned they've detected a spike in recent days.

More cases of concerning P.1 variant confirmed in Vancouver lab than entire U.S. bc.ctvnews.ca/more-cases-of-… #BCpoli #COVID19
"As of Friday at noon, they revealed they've discovered a total of 215 of the P.1 variant through their screening, a number not yet reported by provincial officials."

Yesterday they said 176 total P1. 39 'missing' ones. They don't test all positive cases, it's higher.
“At St. Paul’s Hospital we’ve actually identified more P.1 variants than the entire United States,”

“This is concerning because P.1 is associated with immune evasion.”

Concern without action is nothing. @CDCofBC #BCpoli #COVID19

BC's GHG Emissions, 2000 - 2018

Paris agreement: 30% reduction on 2005 ghg emissions by 2030.

BC's commitment: 2005 ghg = 64.682 * 0.7 = 45.277mt

Where is BC? 2018 ghg emissions - 67.924 mt or 19.4046 mt short
#BCpoli #ClimateCrisis
Since 2008 BC has had a country high carbon tax.

BC's emissions have risen 6 of the last 8 years.

Regressive taxes DO NOT reduce emissions.
BC's GHG Emission inventory:
www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/en…

We're 2 years late on emissions. April we'll get 2019 data.
