I have struggled all day to try and find words . . . the last people that should have to deal with the protests we saw today are the incredible healthcare workers that have worked to the point of exhaustion and with personal risk to keep us safe. Please know how grateful we are!

I read this with disbelief and some anger. First there were protests that blocked hospitals and now people entering schools. There are ways to express your views, but not like this . . . stop it! Students and staff deserve better!
A school district in B.C.’s Southern Interior says all schools in its zone will be in lockdown mode starting Monday after COVID vaccine protesters entered three schools on Friday.

So very kind of you, I am deeply touched. I am broken hearted at the loss of our amazing “Billy”. He faced this difficult journey in the same way he lived his life, with a quiet strength and an overwhelming, deep love for his family. He was my best friend and life partner!
We pass along our deepest condolences to Shirley Bond on the passing of her husband Bill. One half of Team Bond. Bill and Shirley have worked tirelessly on behalf of all of Northern BC with wit and humor, energy and passion they were an amazing team for all of us.

there have been numerous questions about the order expiring and the answer was to wait for answers on Tuesday. Instead orders are posted, no avail and more anxiety and confusion. Simple fix - hold the media avail today. before the expiry!
The previous December 22nd orders had end dates of 12:01 am, Tuesday, January 18. Dr. Henry will be providing an update on the new orders on Tuesday, January 18 – this updated order was made to ensure the order remained in place until Dr. Henry spoke about them on Tuesday.

Wow, weren’t you just in BC supporting
@jjhorgan
and his team? So it’s ok for British Columbians to face an election while “COVID cases are rising and people are worried about their jobs, children & loved ones in long term care?” Why didn’t you call out
@jjhorgan
then?
COVID cases are rising
People are worried about their jobs, children & loved ones in long term care
The PM is threatening an election because he doesn’t like a proposal for a committee?
This shows how out-of-touch Liberals are
I'm focused on Canadians

I too am hoping you will make the point that if all of us need to do more, there needs to be rapid tests available and clinics cannot be closed for 2 weeks during what will be described as a period of significant concern!!

Wow
@keithbaldrey
. . . seriously? Because we ask the government questions about the COVID response that many British Columbians are asking, we don’t support public health? For the record, many of us shared this and lots of other important public health information.

Childcare providers and families have felt abandoned as they try to sort out how best to care for our youngest British Columbians and what do they finally get from the Minister, late night tweets! Seriously
@jjhorgan
people deserve better than this . . .
Thank you to all the

professionals who are working hard to keep children & families safe during these difficult times. 🙏

Officials heading B.C.’s wildfire battle said Thursday the season was so “unprecedented” they’re being forced to choose which fires to fight to protect both lives and property. Not my words

British Columbians deserve access to the same level of protection that neighbouring jurisdictions are making available to anyone over the age of 18. I hope

Time for answers about the situation in longterm care. We need more transparent data and the potential of reduced risk for residents and staff with the use of rapid tests. We have a supply of rapid tests in British Columbia, why aren’t we using them as part of testing protocol?
1 in 3 residents at Vancouver's Little Mountain Place have died from COVID-19. "I just don't understand how they can say that they've been doing their best and still we're seeing these numbers," says a woman whose grandmother died at the care home.

How about it
@Dave_Eby

I’m calling on David Eby to call back the Legislature and immediately pass province-wide legislation to ban open drug use in our parks, playgrounds, and beaches.
BC United is prepared to return to Victoria to keep our kids safe.

Today I introduced a Private Members Bill that would increase public access to life saving Automated External Defibrillators or AEDs.
Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere. CPR combined with an AED increases survival rates by 75%

Not sure how that is even possible, we have major issues with staffing all across the province! Hospitals over capacity, ER closures in many communities, hospitals on diversion! Where are you
@Dave_Eby
@adriandix
- we have a full blown crisis, long past time to show leadership!
UPDATE: Fraser Health is putting out the call to BC’s other health authorities for staff to prop up Surrey Memorial Hospital
Sources tell me an exceptional number of shifts are unfilled this summer and folks are getting nervous
