This is literally capitalism.
Coquitlam, British Columbia — another city overtaken by homeless encampments in the past few years. From Vancouver all the way to Kamloops and Kelowna, this is the fruits of failed socialist policies.

Absolutely everyone should be concerned by this. No matter where you stand on this, the @VancouverPD should be partisan. As head of police board @KenSimCity should address this #vanpoli

NDP minister @selinarobinson justifying genocide by calling Palestine “a crappy piece of land with nothing on it”. Hateful, bigoted remarks that should result in her immediate resignation @Dave_Eby

Doesn’t go far enough but at the same time I want to acknowledge the incredible work done by the community. Pressure works. We need to keep holding all levels of government accountable.

Well it finally happened. Saw my first incidence of anti Asian hate. Man harassing 3 women at A&W for wearing masks. I chased him away and he was cursing me from across street. Then he went into BCL and left his bike unlocked outside. Suffice to say, he no longer has a bike.

If beer was poisoned and illegal then yeah I would suggest the government provide a clean and regulated supply you absolute fucking juicebox.
Imagine if the strategy to help alcoholics was for the govt to give them beer. Imagine if the beer wasn’t strong enough, so alcoholics sold them to dealers to buy hard liquor. Imagine if the dealers sold the govt-issued beer to kids who became alcoholics. That’s #SafeSupply.

Of course the msm are making it about the Star of David, an attempt to make this about religious freedom. It's clearly and Israeli flag and it's sold as such. The Punisher logo has been co-opted by the far right and the IDF.
The Globe and Mail, CTV Vancouver, and the Vancouver Sun have all published articles with this headline: “Vancouver police officer is directed to remove Star of David patch from uniform.”. The patch in question is below… Liars.

This letter is absolutely unhinged. She has learned absolutely NOTHING about this entire situation and is tripling down on being a virulent bigot.
NEW - Veteran NDP MLA Selina Robinson just sent a letter to her caucus colleagues telling them she's leaving the NDP and will sit as an independent. This follows Robinson being forced by Eby to resign from cabinet for controversial comments she made about pre-1948 Palestine.

@selinarobinson With due respect, this fits a pattern of lies, racism, and over-reach of your powers in the name of justifying ongoing apartheid, genocide, and colonial violence. Do the right thing and step down.

My parents came to Canada in 1978 from Northern Ireland. It took my dad about a decade to get his citizenship but since he got it he's never missed an election. I'm proud to say that for the first time ever, he was able to vote for his own son.

So the guy who wants to round up homeless people and put them in concentration camps; supports trials for politicians, doctors, academics, and journalists who support public health; now wants to deport people who support ending a genocide. Yeah this guy totally IS NOT a fascist.
I’m going to demand that our Federal Government revoke the visas of people who promote terrorist organizations. #bcpoli.

Then maybe we need to stop displacing people, ripping people out of tents, dismantling modular housing and spending $800 a minute on the VPD and instead fund peer assisted care teams, outreach, and housing with wraparound services.

Did you know that 1 cruise ship emits the same amount of GHG emissions as ONE MILLION CARS?.
DYK the Cruise industry brings more than 1 million visitors a year to Vancouver and has an economic impact of over $2 billion annually on our city? Very insightful tour this morning by @CelebrityCruise & @PortVancouver of the Celebrity Edge, in our city for the first time.

This would be so funny if it wasn’t for the fact that this guy is an elected official.
Very upset to see this happen in Vancouver, Canada. It brings to mind the Land Reform Movement during 1949-53 under #CCP, where landlords & rich peasants were singled out. Rough estimation: 200K-5M people lost their lives due to the radical ideology. Again, socialism ideology.

Once again the conservatives are too cowardly to face the people. Today the Vancouver Strathcona candidate was a no show at Carnegie. They’ll weaponize the DTES to score political points but they wont go down there (without a police escort). Shocking I know #bcpoli

Because he didn’t die. He was revived by frontline workers who deal with this every day while John stood and watched and did nothing. He wants drug users to die and his platform will enable it.
The BC Coroners Service has told @CdnPressNews it has no record of a drug death in past 2 weeks near where John Rustad says he saw a man die of an overdose in Vancouver, on way to Tuesday's election debate. BCEHS says it has no record of incident that day

The conservative mind can only understand absolutes. The only solution to the drug poisoning crisis is abstinence. It was the same in the 80s in 90s with AIDS. People do drugs, it shouldn’t be a death sentence. Same with sex.
Free crack pipes & cocaine snorting kits Vending Machine located directly outside the Nanaimo Hospital ER.The sound of children playing in background as I shoot this video.Yet another example of enabling addiction instead of offering treatment.#bcpoli

“Still have no idea why”. Hmmm maybe because Pierre Pollievre was inside holding a campaign event and supports the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestine just a guess.
Protesters mobbing the True Confections baked goods cafe in Vancouver's West End yesterday evening. Still have no idea why. The 3 young women inside closed the blinds, but were obviously rattled. Protesters were pounding on the windows & covering the back exits - as though

Chris Amyotte’s family set up a make shift memorial after he was slain by the VPD. The VPD thought it was appropriate to park a cruiser right in front of it.
