I'm all ready for today's @DoNoHarmBC protest at 12noon outside Minister Dix's office at 5022 Joyce St. in Vancouver!

Here are 3 BC'ers I'm fighting for 🧵
1. My father who ended up in LTC because a Covid infection accelerated his dementia overnight. He likely got sick because he couldn't mask well in public due to cognitive issues

We looked at how powerful senior executives & business leaders are platformed & why we rarely hear from workers themselves Two headlines from the NYT opinion recently on the remote wo

Seriously though, I'm getting really tired of these takes from powerful, rich white men.
The author, who is affiliated with Bloomberg, claims that remote work is a privilege. But it's actually a lifeline for folks with disabilities, health conditions or caregiving responsibilities

There are people considering & applying for MAiD in Canada because they can't access timely healthcare or safe healthcare because our leaders refuse to make hospitals safe for immunocompromised people.
This is heartbreaking 💔 also concerned about how BC closing Long Covid clinics while relaxing MAiD criteria will play out. A terrible combo
