Today, the products my employee unpacked and shelved for my store cost 10-20% more than they had in January. That money "collected" is from ME, a shopkeeper in a family-owned small business. Me, a veteran, Me, a senior citizen. Me, someone who can't afford to "eat" the tariffs.

Chasing perfection shouldn’t come at the cost of access. 1:1 care may be ideal, but for thousands with #LongCOVID, good care now is what’s urgently needed. Dr. Arseneau’s clinic works. Dismantling it helps no one. #LifeLineBC @brendavancouver.bsky.social @josieosborne.bsky.social

BC residents with ME/CFS, #LongCOVID & #Fibromyalgia risks losing access to virtual care on Sept 1. MSP wants to cap group visits at 20 patients/hour—driving costs up & care down. 📢 Tell your MLA: Pause these cuts now! www.lifelinebc.ca/campaign #SaveBC_CLMF #LifeLineBC #ProtectVirtualCareBC
Group Virtual Care Works! Don't take it away :( Capping Group Medical Visits to 20 patients will increase wait-lists and existing backlog to care. Help us fight the MSP billing change by contacting your MLA.

Growing anti-immigration sentiment in Canada is almost entirely driven by political leaders. It is not a grassroots-up issue that leaders are begrudgingly responding to. Leaders are whipping up resentment against immigrants, out of nowhere
