Hey parents across BC - look out for these anti-mask, anti-vaxx, anti-protection, anti-everything candidates for your local school boards. Avoid avoid avoid #bcpoli
Teacher friend saying: "Trustees are in charge of the budget - which affects EVERYTHING. All programming, whether enough EAs or teachers are hired, what projects get prioritized...And they hire & fire board people. Advancement of either good or bad leaders comes down to them."
And everyone - don't respond to any anti-mask cranks who respond to this thread. I'll be hiding replies and blocking them. Don't give them the airtime or satisfaction of a response. Thank you!
I received this heads up about the parent group trying to elect anti-mandate anti-maskers etc to school boards across BC: #bcpoli #vanpoli

If you think you're on the left and you're not wearing a mask in public indoor spaces, you're not.

I don't know why this is hard to understand.
For one thing, the union move't got its very start on occupational health and safety issues.

Also, interesting read:

@KarinaZeidler And to anyone, left or otherwise, who imagines the pandemic is over despite this impressive collection of stats that it is now more deadly than it has ever been and disabling millions, I can't help you.

People really can be made to do anything against their own interests

Govt doesn't care about your mounting health damage from Covid infections & reinfections; it won't be paying for your declining health. You will, via Telus

When you don't wear a mask indoors, it's dark sci-fi.
As someone who works in communication and strategy, I'm actually in awe of the success of BC's communication campaigns on Covid, which involved taking a garden variety PHO and beatifying her into a saint to pull off a larger policy of few measures & public openness to infection.
Despite international press detailing the grimness of Sweden's model of sacrificing many so society could stay "open," Henry openly stated she was following the "Swedish model but with fewer deaths" (we later learned BC was simply under-counting deaths) & BCers fell into line.

This morning, the civil/mechanical engineer has some further worries about #SiteC re: its design. I'll screenshot what he wrote (you can also read it in the Alt text).

His remarks arose from seeing this recent #SiteC construction photo from @BCHydro. Site diagram for reference. Photo of the Site C dam under construction, showing the &quoArtist's drawing of completed Site C dam, showing an L-shape
@bchydro We invite anyone from @bchydro to respond to this civil engineer's concerns. Too many engineering/ construction experts have raised red flags about #SiteC's safety. The dam has already failed during construction so their fears are built on facts more solid than the dam. #bcpoli Photo of the Site C dam under construction, showing the &quoThis photo is a rear view of the buttresses showing the exca
@bchydro A few further remarks from an engineer: "Another thing we don't know is how on earth they'll attach the earthfill dam to the concrete on the north and south ends, esp the south side against the buttress. These are both shear connections... with soft banks..."

WARNING: moving between BC & Alberta?

AVOID Starway Moving Co.

I helped a family move. The company said they'd deliver everything by July 2. It wasn't delivered til last night, July 19. For two weeks they lied about where things were, wouldn't answer phone calls or emails...
AVOID AVOID AVOID.

After 2 weeks I searched Twitter & found someone else who'd had the same problem, the same lying & runaround, until they reported them to Better Business Bureau. I finally did the same which seemed to trigger delivery. But Starway is a nightmare. Do not use.
A family with few resources & small children spent 20 days sleeping on the floor in a house in a strange town with none of their belongings - no beds, nothing. And the moving company wouldn't answer phones or explain where their stuff was. They had no idea if they'd see it again.

Twitter has locked my account, saying that this tweet violates Twitter rules - which it does not. ImageImage
Oddly my tweet seems to have gone through, so perhaps Twitter unlocked me shortly after it locked me. Regardless it seems someone reported me for... an accurate tweet. Covid DOES cause immune disregulation - as Public Health Canada admitted today.
.Hi @TwitterSupport @Twitter: Restore my tweet that you deleted immediately please. It's in your email below.

Emailing me to say my account is locked (when oddly it's not) because I tweeted Covid misinformation (I clearly didn't) is wrong. You need to fix your moderation. Screenshot of email from Tw...

Had another interesting exchange with my former gas pipeline engineer friend this morning on #TMX & #CGL. You may recall he has high-level Cdn & internat'l experience designing/building pipelines. He's upset Canada would dump failing #TMX onto First Nations.. #cdnpoli #bcpoli
..Engineer: "First Nations groups are now competing to buy #TMX, but with the “repair” from the recent washout sitting on sharp rock, I assume, since they haven't shown us a new sand bed, the rush is on for the gov’t to get rid of it to the first buyer..." #bcpoli
...Engineer: "The Canadian govt needs a buyer with enough money ($25 billion) and is willing to take on the liability for both pipelines [old pipeline and new larger #TMX twinned line] when they fail... of course, the buyer won’t know that..." #bcpoli #cdpoli
