It bears mentioning that 'the homeless' are actually internal economic refugees from brutal corporate capitalism that underpays workers, demonizes the mentally ill, isolates the disabled, treats addiction as criminal instead of health issue and disenfranchises minorities.

Has a close connection to the misogynistic image of just 'popping' babies out, then ready for work, housecleaning, cooking, sex- whatever the so-called 'alpha male' desires.

The people of Canada should rise up and demand that extended care facilities be returned to public health care system. The relentless privatizers who tirelessly sabotage that system should be ridden out of town on a rail.

Of the many things I will never forgive the previous BC Gov't for is the ruthless privatization of senior care. The private model is one of warehousing our elders, minimal staffing and maximum drugging. What we want for our parents, grandparents is a caring model enhancing life.

By their brutality handling Fairy Creek (and other environmental demos), as opposed to their sympathetic, kids gloves approach to anti-vax, anti-mask, r/w chaos, they will never be regarded as neutral, even-handed peacekeepers. 'Course Indigenous Peoples have known that forever.

There has been much more tolerance for civil disobedience in BC on past occasions; the decision to proceed as criminal contempt reveals the importance given to corporations as opposed to regular citizens. Fed prosecutors have a clear conflict of interest with Feds owning pipeline

Cautionary note: Dr. Bonnie Henry said yesterday that, we should expect to be still social distancing for the next 12-18months. And that's from (as you know) someone who has done everything right. That's why I fear even more for Arizona, Florida, Texas etc.

When cities off-loaded clearance of sidewalks upon house occupants it was a blatantly classist move that directly endangered disabled and elderly.
In case not clear in this thread, my anger is at city not cyclists and I think we need to be raising everyone's access not lowering anyone's.
When they do this it pits people against each other needlessly.

Related: how much mention do we see or hear of the many additional children & wounded in Uvalde shooting? Besides the physical effects, life-long trauma is certain. Everyone assumes they will be taken care of, but they are largely latinx, and thus unlikely to receive gov support.
I'm frustrated w using death as the only metric for bad policy.
Heat dome deaths were horrific but the over 600 people who died also left people grieving.
There's also suffering during and after - physical and trauma impacts that linger.

As you have pointed out (eloquently), so often the people who say they were caregivers claim to be the 'experts' on the disabled experience, muffling the voices of those who live it. IMHO, some of these 'experts' seem mostly fueled by being inconvenienced.
Fact is the vast majority of Canadians have no clue what it means to live as a disabled person in this country. Particularly one who is poor, racialized and/or otherwise marginalized. The vast majority have no clue of the degree to which eugenics still informs our institutions
