Had Bing Thom not died prematurely, he would have gone after @AIBCconnected for its gentleman's agreement rule that architects can't criticize other projects. Reportedly a certain major arch'l firm in Vancouver reported Bing to AIBC for his letter opposing #105Keefer. #vanpoli
@AIBCconnected Bing Thom intended to go after AIBC's muzzling rule & publicly ask them:

"What is the point of architecture if there's no discourse? What is the role of the architect in society? Do we have a public responsibility or are we just hired guns?"

AIBC's rule is destructive.
#bcpoli
@AIBCconnected Bing's death was a terrible loss for public discourse in Vancouver. BTW he also helped us with a fight I co-founded against the proposed downtown casino expansion (we beat the expansion partly thx to him). You could count on him to do the right thing. AIBC tries to block this.
@AIBCconnected And now we found out that architects are afraid to speak out about #105Keefer because their colleagues have reported them to AIBC for raising concerns about the Broadway Subway condo play.

@AIBCconnected, are you happy about your role in muzzling discourse? #vanpoli

My elderly family member, whom I kept free of Covid for 3+ years but who finally caught in in an unmasked BC hospital last week, is very sick on Day 9. Rapid test still shows a bright red line. For health issues she can't take Paxlovid. She's in a rage at you, @adriandix. #bcpoli
@adriandix "I'm furious at the hospital and at all the unmasked healthcare workers, but I'm more outraged by @adriandix and Bonnie Henry. The govt is ultimately to blame."
@adriandix She asks: "Why aren't they following science?"

"They kept taking my mask off for tests and procedures - and they weren't even wearing masks when they did it."

I’m a rural BC hospital taking an elderly relative to ER. No masks on staff & visitors but aggressive efforts to make everyone sanitize their hands, despite the fact that the diseases helping to crash the health system are airborne. We are truly living in an age of disinformation
*I’m IN a rural BC hospital. I am not a hospital. But you got that
Look at the handwashing fixation of @IPACCanada & the blindness to airborne transmission & masking stretching back many years. Every year they suggest infection control is largely a handwashing issue. It's as if all the airborne diseases do not exist. Why?

Former BC premier John Horgan jumps to the board of Teck Resources, which had the largest environmental fine in Canadian history

Video: @BCGreens leader @SoniaFurstenau asks the NDP in QP about Horgan's role in Teck's pollution case.
🧵
#bcpoli #cdnpoli
@BCGreens @SoniaFurstenau Here's the timeline of John Horgan's involvement with Teck Resources before he left office. Judge for yourself:

In Dec 2021 the feds indicated they were considering referring Teck's selenium pollution in the Elk Valley to the internat'l joint commission (IJC)
#bcpoli
@BCGreens @SoniaFurstenau Feds became involved because Teck's selenium pollution was a longstanding issue. (Recall the fines)

March 2022 Teck lobbied the feds asking that the Elk Valley pollution not be referred to the IJC.
April 12 Teck lobbied Horgan's Chief of Staff & deputy mins of Env & Energy+Mines

The BC govt can fudge the death stats from Covid all it wants ("that death wasn't FROM Covid, it was WITH Covid" etc).

The real truth is the "excess deaths" number - that is, how many of us are dying now vs. before pandemic, minus other factors like poisoned drugs & heat dome.
This is why data modellers like @MoriartyLab focus on excess deaths as the real statistical truth of Covid impacts over time. The problem tho is that over time, elevated deaths from Covid will start to be the "normal" death rate, against which we're comparing new Covid deaths...
This problem is being discussed in several chats I'm in that include Covid science & medical types and public health advocates. What happens when we can't use excess deaths as reliably to get around the govt's obfuscation around Covid's serious health impacts on the public?

@KeithBaldrey has been issuing inflammatory tweets again, abusing citizens who advocate for better Covid measures. In the process, he falsely deems a "conspiracy theory" the proven yet media-ignored fact that oil &c money has been funding opposition to any mitigation of Covid. 🧵 Keith Baldrey calls me a "grand conspiracy theorist&quo
Baldrey is free to call facts "conspiracy theories" because due to media's dereliction of duty, the public knows ~nothing of the influential, oil-funded attack on Covid measures known as the Great Barrington Declaration (GBD) whose views Keith resembles. desmog.com/2020/10/26/ame…
The GBD stance (let Covid rip, don't mask, the population will become immune) demonstrably failed to produce pop'n level immunity to Covid, with deaths in 2022 far higher than in 2020 or 2021. But GBD's influence remains strong & its spokesdoctors are still given media platforms.

A new year is coming & I think we are long overdue for a society-wide discussion about what's "positive" & what's "negative."

We have media provocateurs in BC calling any citizens who push back at them "negative." Negative" is weaponized to stigmatize dissent & critical thought. Image
As a friend just said "The 'negative' slur is thought-stopping, gatekeeping nonsense. Bad enough when we have media who don’t understand their obligations re govt, but worse when they engage in rhetoric that tries to stop the public from being informed & questioning state power"
One of Twitter's most positive contributions during the pandemic has been its role as a public square for critical discussion of the way govts & public health agencies & officials have been compromised by business interests and have failed to properly protect public health.
