One of a handful of giant dougies on the back forty at my mom's. They stand on guard at the foot of a ridgeline wildlife trail. From here I can see a sea of plant diversity, + I even heard a wild canine yip. #WorthMoreStanding #FindingTheMotherTree

I carry you on
With me, I promised you
I would
And I do
I float around
And show up announced
In the places that you knew
I draw you out
From the edge of my mouth
It feels good to say your name
It’s all I have now
What a wonderful sound
It makes

Whatever your views on today's events, we can't help but feel sadness that a government once elected with bold promises of transformational change now seems to be on its last tumultuous legs.
ALT A screenshot of a tweet from Justin Trudeau's verified Twitter account (@JustinTrudeau), dated September 21, 2015, at 5:09 PM. The tweet reads: "As Prime Minister, I’ll make sure the 2015 election will be the last under first-past-the-post system" and includes a link to "lpc.ca/ao3o" with the hashtag "#upfordebate". The tweet features a small profile photo of Justin Trudeau in a suit and tie.
.@DrGorfinkel I just listened to your interview on Radio West regarding colon cancer. What you had to say was so important, but I can't believe you spouted fear over getting a colonoscopy. They save lives and they are a very easy procedure to experience.
HEY! @GreenUNBC can you partner with featherfriendly.com/pages/co…
too many birds die on the glass at UNBC!

Thank you Steve, we’re really proud of it!

It is absolutely indisputable that if another party leader appeared to have fabricated something like this, Conservatives would be calling for their resignation that day. #bcpoli

BC Greens announce taskforce for MMIWG2S+ and plan to disband RCMP’s critical response unit CRU-BC
VANCOUVER, BC — Today, BC Green Party Leader Sonia Furstenau and Dana-Lyn Mackenzie, candidate for Vancouver-Yaletown, announced two major public safety reforms: the creation of a Taskforce for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S+), and the disbanding of the RCMP’s Critical Response Unit (formerly the Community Industry Response Group, C-IRG).
MMIWG2S+ Taskforce: a dedicated task force focused on investigating the alarming number of cases involving missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQI people. This taskforce will operate under civilian oversight from Indigenous communities, emphasizing women’s leadership and following the recommendations of the Red Women Rising report and the Reclaiming Power and Place report from the National Inquiry into MMIWG2S+
Disbanding the Critical Response Unit: a branch of the RCMP responsible for defending industrial interests at the expense of public and Indigenous rights, the unit has harmed relations between law enforcement and communities. This change is essential in restoring trust and rebuilding public safety systems.

Did John Rustad just threaten to force every person who has an overdose event into INVOLUNTARY CARE … even if they would choose to go voluntarily?
I want to address something in tonight’s debate that I found extremely offensive.
@JohnRustad4BC, you don’t know me and you don’t know my story. When @Dave_Eby pointed out your disingenuous actions by lying to me when we met on the street last month, you responded to him by saying:
“Where you have somebody who ODs and is brought back to life, clearly they are not making the right decisions for themselves. We need … to get them into INVOLUNTARY TREATMENT so that they can be able to recover.”
I DID NOT NEED TO BE FORCED INTO CARE JOHN, I CHOSE TO GO.
I went to recovery many times, and I relapsed many times. Addiction is a CHRONIC RELAPSING DISEASE - few people succeed in recovery treatment on their first try, but thousands of us will keep VOLUNTARILY going to detox or die trying.
The suggestion that you’re going to force medical treatment on people in an old, locked mental hospital — EVEN IF THEY WERE WILLING TO DO THE TREATMENT ON THEIR OWN — is offensive, outrageous, and a violation of British Columbians’ charter rights.

It’s essential that the patient voice be heard in these conversations. These women were harmed by the guidelines, and yet @cantaskforce thinks that they don’t need to be updated.
They need to look at the outcome of the guidelines, not just randomized trials.
It was an honour to testify to the Standing Committee on the Status Of Women. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss the misinformation given to healthcare providers and the public on breast cancer screening. As a country, we can do the right thing and act now. @markhollandlib it's time to suspend the breast screening guidelines. With every passing day, we're allowing later stage diagnoses to occur and Cdn women to suffer needlessly #cdnpoli
.@Conserva_North hosted an amazing webinar on the absolute destruction of post disturbance logging. Be sure to catch @DDellasala's presentation. He destroys EVERY argument government has for why we do this kind of logging.

But the corporate lobbyist running in PG Mackenzie is AOK?
There should be a law that says you can’t run for office within two years of being a registered in-house corporate lobbyist, if you ask me.
Eby calls on Rustad to drop seven candidates, including Clare of Prince George-North Cariboo dlvr.it/TDnP5J

Rustad wants to lead BC but won’t show up?
BC Conservative Leader John Rustad has backed out of 2 more leaders’ debates. A worrying trend for someone who wants to lead BC, but is not willing to show up and answer questions.

I’m back from my trip to the Kootenays, where I spoke in a few high schools, telling my story about how I overcame my own addictions in order to live the life I’m so grateful for today.
This visit was special — I found out it was grade 11s who heard me speak last year that wanted me to come again, and they also introduced me to a packed auditorium!
The goal of these talks is prevention. (Don’t worry haters, I take time off from my healthcare job to do these talks).
The reality of this crisis has been muddied by political hysteria over harm reduction, safer supply and “drug dens.”
So I tell students about the ACTUAL risks of the toxic drug supply, and the importance of taking care of your mental health. There were lots of hugs, tears, and conversations with some amazing students who stayed behind after TWO bells for lunch went off, to continue to ask questions.
What we discussed: reaching out is a strength not a weakness! And that human connection can change the direction of people's lives.
I am very humbled and blessed.
