It was 12:32 a.m. in Parliament. I stayed to challenge the Liberals' plan to end an 80-year commitment that supports 3,500 veterans' jobs through Commissionaires. Why put private security profits ahead of those who've served Canada? Our veterans deserve better.

Likely not as Russia had banned diesel exports due to lack of domestic supply. Meaning they don’t have diesel to sell.

This is a good day to ponder what an amazing deal B.C. residents have enjoyed thanks to public auto insurance. Avg nominal premiums are no higher than 9 years ago when J.Horgan was elected Premier, vs 45% avg increase in Canada and 119% in next-door Alberta. Data from StatsCan. #bcpoli

I remember when tasks on my list had one or two steps. Now they all seem to have 10 to 20 steps, most of which involve talking to a human being who is hiding behind complex phone trees, a lot of annoying on-hold music, and constant reminders that my call is important to them.

Candidates for the BC Conservatives have likened education about the 2SLGBTQ+ community to "grooming," referenced Jan. 6 conspiracies and questioned COVID vaccine safety. Right after we published this, tweets from another candidate surfaced where he joked about killing pro-Palestine activists.

Because pharmaceutical companies won’t let their drugs be used in executions, the system turns not to just compounding pharmacies but to labs outside the U.S. The drugs aren’t FDA-approved. Prisons trade drugs with each other because supplies are low, so sometimes the doses are too low. Stupid.

The hope is that, by admitting someone, their condition can be treated & improved. But what if they’ve already made several attempts & treatment didn’t help? Of course, in this case she had a head injury, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and mental health disorders. Treatments had already failed.

She had a head injury, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and various mental health disorders. Those are not easy conditions to diagnose or treat. Treating a constellation of conditions is even harder. Not everything can be fixed.

That assumes the person hasn’t already tried all available treatments. They usually have and sometimes with disastrous results. Treating mental illness isn’t often easy.
