Anyone have any intel on this? I can't directly ask Aman Singh as he doesn't allow comments. Did the #BCCons send people to follow and scream at #NDP members, or are these simply people expressing discontent with the current government? #YYJpoli

Leaving people who are having a mental crisis to fend for themselves when they don't have the capacity to care for themselves is anything but dignified. Leaving people to die on the streets is anything but humane. What will it take? #yyjpoli

So glad we made the ferry. Was worried I'd have to swim home. #sunset #smokeyskies #straitofgeorgia #britishcolumbia #bcferries

This is interesting. I wonder how many months of delinquent rent the Province might pay for through the insurance and what that cost will be to tax payers. And do landlords have to pay for the insurance? If yes how much? So many questions. #bcpoli

I am fascinated by how the discussion around equity seeking policies, and the implementation of these policies, rarely if ever includes people with disabilities. We are 25% of the population yet remain, for the most part, excluded. #yyjpoli

Turning "off comments on the city’s social media posts was made to ­support respectful communication" ­ IMHO, this does not support communication. It is a form of 1-way messaging. People disagreeing with city policy should be heard, not muted. #yyjpoli

Disallowing comments on SM posts related to municipal, provincial or federal government initiatives mutes public discourse. It makes it more difficult for the public to organize around things that matter to us. It is the opposite of what the internet was designed for. #yyjpoli

Ha ha! here we have one great big virtue signal supporting NYPD on September 12. Too bad the city council meeting didn't line up with 9 11. Please put your jacket back on and #supportlocal aka Victoria Police #yyjpoli

Anyone know how much these affordable units are. My preliminary research says a 2 bedroom: is $2,000 - 2,350 per month for people on income assistance. #yyjpoli #unaffordablehousing

I'm really happy to see this however I am beyond disappointed with the amount of time to get us there. We have lost so many. I'm also concerned that this has become an election issue and not a true recognition of what is currently not working. #yyjpoli #bcpoli

Although I am not surprised, this is deeply troubling. We all need doctors, but even more so our elders. People over 65 are our largest demographic. How many of our seniors don't have a doctor and what do they do when ill? It must be so incredibly frightening for them. #yyjpoli
