In an effort to remedy our own discomfort, we neglected to really demonstrate that we could be in this together, because we never were. #bcpoli @Uvic_PHSP @DarcyJudy @CoreyRanger @AVIVanIsle @BerniePauly @HGHobbs @mlgagnon_XVII @pivotlegal @ShaneLSimpson timescolonist.com/opinion/op…

A group of frontline workers, with @UVicNursing prof Marilou Gagnon as spokesperson, argues that the current outbreaks in temporary housing were predictable due to how the health and housing authorities have handled sheltering throughout the pandemic.

For 16 hrs, the Indigenous youth of @BraidedWarriors have blockaded the Port of so-called Vancouver. We are here in solidarity with elder Stacy Gallagher, who was sentenced to 90 days in prison for ceremony & protecting the land. The youth will stay until Stacy is released!

Chase Nimbyism and hatred out of your heart and replace those thought s with kindness positivity and compassion. No matter how hard it is for 10 seconds. You just helped make the world better. Not that hard after all. Repeat.

Yo big shoutout to these fucking fences for still being total representations of how the @CityOfVictoria can be such a total asshole!
You know what is shitty anti-poor design?
This ongoing bullshit.

We know too well the impacts and harms of the war on people who use drugs.
On Friday, October 23rd, we'll be joining #momsstoptheharm and the South Island Community Overdose Response Network (SICORN) to call for #decriminalization.

In the first 2 weeks of my public policy class, I have (once again) learned that 'doing nothing' is a policy choice.
Anyone involved in drug policy right now has to admit that state institutions have deliberately let thousands of people die.
It is a deliberate, willful act.
❤️❤️❤️

BCCLA does not support provincial Bill 22 that proposes involuntarily detaining youth for substance use. This is not evidence-based, infringes rights, and disproportionately impacts Indigenous youth and girls. #bcpoli
