Also not lost on me the... irony of my rushing to get home for my specialist appointment, because of my rare disease (also one of the reasons we mask), while being threatened over masking (again). This is a direct result of poor @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social policies, and a #BCPH failure to educate.

Today she tried to chase me down the road. I had my camera at the ready, and started recording. Missed the 'take the mask off' comment, but did catch the 'oh yeah, you want evidence' one.

2. & 5. Shouldn't they already be? 4. In 2023, they promised 37 long term care homes (since 2017, reportedly they've opened 16, are working on 6, have 7 on pause... this is not a new promise) 6. Still cutting supports to Disabled kids, costing them, their families, #BCEd and #BCMed $$$. #BCPoli

They know the changes are inequitable. They are ploughing ahead anyway, lying that they are equitable. Cutting funding to Disabled kids, instead of widening an umbrella that was always unjustly too small. This should be an election issue. #BCPoli #BCEd #BCMedia bsky.app/profile/jacl...

Since @davidebybc.bsky.social @jodiewickens.bsky.social announced cuts to funding for 34,000 Disabled kids, many of us've been pointing out that using DTC as a mechanism to access a portion of (unstable) funding was inequitable. Govt's own documentation shows they know this, & are using it anyway.🙃

The sheer audacity of NDP supporters urging voters not to vote Green to avoid splitting the vote and handing the win to the Cons when their leader called an unnecessary, unwanted, opportunistic election. Sorry but Eby is the author of his own misfortune if the NDP loses their majority. Unbelievable

"without public supports" And those are understaffed and waitlisted, so more than a year to access is likely a pipedream.
011
Jaclyn Ferreira - 😷 (She/Her) @jaclynmacrae.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
...without public supports. And your data show that you knew that 27K kids would lose their current direct funding, not qualify for the new Benefit, and that thousands of them wouldn't have the DTC, either, in order to access the barrier-laden Supplement. If you lose, it's d/t your own actions.

Jaclyn Ferreira - 😷 (She/Her) @jaclynmacrae.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Like, I think you can be pompous, but only for so long. "But we're increasing funding" - no, not really, that's a sleight of hand. And it still doesn't cover the thousands of kids who will go without direct funding, will lose their current supports, AND ALSO will go for more than a year...

Jaclyn Ferreira - 😷 (She/Her) @jaclynmacrae.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Of course we don't know how this all plays out, but I will repeat: "Picked a really great time to disenfranchise 30k+ parents of Disabled kids, hey @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social?" Because there are so many former BCNDP voters in parents groups around the province looking not to vote for you ever again.

It was pretty scary. If she had been successful, she likely would have hit one of my kids, too. Also makes walking through our neighbourhood less relaxing, because we always have to be on alert to avoid her and her family (her husband tries to indimidate us with his Dodge Ram...).

So disappointing. There's a whole culture of dismissing masks as excessive here and I think the BCNDP helped reinforce mask wearers as being slow to get back to normal. Remember this?
Graphic of racing animals with caption 
'Everyone is moving forward at their own pace. Consider others' 

With a hummingbird, rabbit, moose and turtle. The implications is that people still masking and not going back to normal are slow turtles

In June, a neighbour - who has been harassing me & my kids about our masks on the way to/from school for a year, now - growled & tried to hit me with her aluminum water bottle... I think a lot about govt rhetoric that made space for physical attacks like that, while claiming care for hi-risk ppl.

And they continue to do so. For example: No mask mandates in #BCPoli #BCMed last winter - even though other conservative provinces had them in their healthcare facilities.

Observation: 'Dippers' attacking and/or blocking BCians, including former @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social supporters, who are critical of the BCNDP & have been alienated by the party's rightward shift, is peak 'Orange MAGA.' THEY are a massive part of the problem, and how we got here. #BCPoli
