I feel the legacy of what occurred on September 20th won't be that bigots targeted LGBTQ+ students. That's not new. It's more that anti-LGBTQ+ protesters are the real "groomers"... Grooming their children to hate. It's 💔 to witness.

As a Canadian, it saddens me when I read about America's "for profit" medical system. In Canada, the biggest cost we have to worry about when we go to the hospital for any reason is the cost of parking. It boggles my mind that healthcare comes with a Bill, when it's a human right

I have no idea what planet this man lives on, stating that it costs $8000/year for a VW. My dad has a brand new, high end Jaguar sports car, and his ICBC insurance is $3500/year. My GMC Terrain is under $2000/year.
BC drivers like you deserve a choice when it comes to auto insurance. When British Columbians are being forced to pay over $8,000/year to insure a Volkswagen, that’s a problem. It’s time to put an end to this 1970s state-run monopoly & get government out of your pockets.
