Exhausted parents, I ❤️ you. We need each other more than ever. As caregivers we research, schedule + worry. We battle medical bureaucracy, government gatekeepers + discrimination. We are levelled by depression, anxiety + isolation. Many parents are in financial ruin. #bcpoli

MCFD already consulted + did nothing, so now they’ll do more consulting. 🙄 “It’s clear more consultation + engagement is needed with families, those with lived experience + experts to inform an improved model for the delivery of early language services.”

A language skills program was set to go, until the government pulled the plug.

Based on service requests - intimate partner violence has gone up 25% in Vancouver. And 4 women have been killed in the past two months. #DesignedWithSurvivors #CallItFemicide #VanPoli #PublicSafetyCrisis
Investing in public safety works. In Vancouver, we've seen crime fall dramatically with our city now experiencing its lowest violent crime rate in 23 years. This progress is possible through @Vote4ABC’s decision to invest in policing, mental health & emergency services. #vanpoli

Fulfilling someone's rights includes providing adequate funding, oversight, and intervention when someone is at risk. Failure to act in dangerous and life-threatening situations is NOT rights-based; it's a breach of CLBC's Human Rights obligations. #bcpoli #CommunityLivingBC

CLBC continues to hide behind vague language and endless reviews, using the process of 'engagement’ to ignore current suffering. Shame on CLBC. #bcpoli #CommunityLivingBC

Agree! Time for a shake up. Seeing the same lack of open democracy and transparency with the ABC majority @VSB39 #vanpoli
After reading the Integrity Commissioner’s report, it’s clear: not one ABC City Councillor has shown integrity. I know most of them - and even voted for some. Never again. They’ve proven to be self-serving disappointments. #vanpoli

An assault against a woman in a Richmond, B.C., parking lot this week was not actually a stranger attack, as previously reported by authorities. In a statement Friday, Richmond RCMP have confirmed the suspect and victim are “known to each other.”

We didn’t have a reservation but we dropped-in for the noon swim at Kits Pool. On a holiday Monday no one was turned away, it’s actually only happened once this year. Anyway, it was $16 for two of us, the modest lines (there are 3) moved quick + everyone was happy. 😊 #VanPoli

Today the drunken killer of all my kids & my dad, who seriously harmed my grandmother & mother, is considered to have fully served his sentence. My family will never stop paying for the price of his drinks. Don't drive impaired. For God's sake. Please. #NotOneMore

The system: Does not ask, What happened to you? It asks, Can you survive what we’re about to do to you? Will the Hockey Canada Case Have a Chilling Effect on Victims of Sexual Assault in Canada?
