It's insane that we have come to the point where the BC government, and the health ministry, have to advise people what to do because they cannot seem to keep rural ER departments open!!

When it comes to health care, we are rapidly becoming a 3rd world country :(

PAINTER: #Victoria's 'inclusion' facade: armed police guard Jews while council stays silent on antisemitism

Too many leaders are unwilling to risk displeasing activist factions that have grown increasingly comfortable with antisemitism

PAINTER: Victoria's 'inclusion' facade: armed police guard Jews while council stays silent on antisemitism
The capital city of British Columbia, Victoria, likes to describe itself as a city of inclusion. Our elected leaders repeat the language often.

Trump's deliberately generating a perpetual global crisis, a precisely strategy Steve Bannon once advocated. The export of this chaos to the rest of the world means civil society everywhere's under threat. The next 15yrs could well be worst period on Earth in 100+ yrs.

Canada doesn't lack trading partners ... it lacks clarity ... trade is not just commerce. It is power, memory, & credibility. When govts treat it as a reset button instead of a ledger, they invite outcomes they later pretend were unforeseeable
