Doesn’t really feel like the BC government is making a lot of headway on the rural hospital closures.

Our corrupt #neoliberal governments are fully adjacent to #USANazis - no matter WTF they say in their colonial PR statements. Both federal Liberals & #BCNDP governments are in midst of trying to railroad democracy, using Trump style fear factors to manipulate the public. You can definitely count on weakass cowards to keep staying somewhat silent. They are cowardly, afterall.
STFU if you support either of those #UNDRIP capitalist driven, style of destruction of democracy governments.
Double fuck yourself, if you've been guilty of saying you support Indigenous sovereignty but promote muthafucking neoliberal colonizers! Seriously. It is hypocrisy & you might as well be a lying politician.
Q: What do all 3 main #political parties in #BritishColumbia have in common?
A: All 3 love to exploit & #tokenize #BIPOC people. All 3 love BIPOC folks with #InternalizedRacism & OK #SellingOut for a public office power position.
#BCNDP = BC Not #Democratic Party.
Fuck you, fidiots still buying their bullshit. You're not helping the rest of us, citizens, whatsoever.
Weakasses.
@Nickiquote In BC - our current Premier used to be a strong civil liberties lawyer. I supported his work in that arena for years. Then, he moved to politics. Shortly after that, got groomed by now dead neoliberal who screwed up BC for years & sold his soul to capitalist lobbyists. He is now a very awful person. Doing almost everything he fought against, when he was a civil liberties champion. Power & greed corrupted him.
The only #Indigenous people that #BCNDP #DavidEby & federal #GovernmentOfCanada #PrimeMinister #MarkCarney like are muthuafucking #crapitalist #sellouts.
They love their own fully #colonial #groomed #IndianAgents. Doing dirty n old, #DivideToConquer exploitation tactics.
You gotta be really thick in the skull to not see this #manipulative BS.
@chris #JohnHorgan - #HorganizedCrimes top boss started this shit. #DavidEby whom corrupt sellout casino lobbyist liar Horgan groomed to kingmake for years is just following what he was taught to do.
All of them are fascist adjacent capitalist sellout monsters.
I call out neoliberal shitheads, loudly.
"Carney was the United Nations Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance and was behind the UN-backed Net-Zero Banking Alliance, so some Canadians might have assumed he’d prioritize climate action if he won the election.
"Instead, Carney has described developing fossil fuel infrastructure as 'pragmatic.'"
2017: the #bcndp talked about viable green energy, then pushed #sitec, #fracking, #lng
And if you're wondering what happened to those three Fast Cats.
In January 2024 someone tried to get someone to buy them by putting them up on Facebook Marketplace (yep!) for $15 Million for all three. (98% off original price lol). They were, and likely still are, sitting tied up in Alexandria, Egypt. They were last owned by the Egyptian Government.
At least one of them was essentially unchanged inside since the 1990s. (a Nanaimo Bar for $1.5!)

They still show up on vessel trackers so perhaps they're not scrapped yet!
Pacificat Explorer is IMO: 9146429
Pacificat Discovery is IMO: 9146431
Pacificat Voyager is IMO: 9146443
If you want to find out the owner, you can pay $CAD 15 for 24hr of vesselfinder access here: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9146429
As tempting as it is, I think I'll get a couple icedCaps instead. :)
The small Island Class vessels (2019-2021) were built in Romania by Dutch firm Damen Shipbuilding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island-class_ferry
The slightly larger Salish Class vessels (2016-2020) were built in Poland by Remontowa SA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salish-class_ferry
Now these large "NWS” vessels will be built by Weihai which built boats for Marine Atlantic ferry, Corsica Linea, and Brittany Ferries: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-bc-ferries-to-buy-new-vessels-from-china/
It's hard to argue from a business decision that China is not one of the top manufacturers of high quality vessels.
But building big ships will always be political.
On the new BC Ferries being built in China.
Do we all remember the last time the BC NDP went down the road of “building a shipbuilding industry to build ferries”?
It has its own Wiki, of course.
"In addition to major delays and cost overruns, the ferries never fully met their original specifications, and only operated briefly in a reduced capacity, before being auctioned off at a substantial loss by the subsequently elected BC Liberal Party government.”
No, I'm not thrilled that China, an authoritarian state, is going to be building these ferries. But no BC or Canadian firms bid on the contract. And right now, the expertise in ship building is in China and Europe (the Island and Salish class vessels were built in Europe).
I don't blame the NDP for not repeating the same mistake 30 years later.
And the ferries will still be refit and maintained for their full service life within BC.

@CppGuy @bebadefabo We are also losing 1-4 public health care staff weekly now & it's from multiple #covid infections but #BCgovernment & #media are ok with underreported covid related disabilities & deaths it seems.
Did #BC just flood the #PeaceValley to use #SiteC Dam power for LNG and an Bell/Grok AI data cluster?
Is this the start of US corporations drinking our water for memes of Will Smith eating spaghetti?
This is disturbing behaviour from our province. #BCNDP have clearly forgotten that they are on a razor’s edge and can be voted out easily.
Eby continues to embrace #LNG extraction in the wake of #TMX, #SiteC, #FairyCreek and now Elon’s #AI Data Centers will be drinking our water?
This #BCNDP is clearly no better than destructive #Conservatives, if they continue down this path they’ve lost my vote.
Trump is not an excuse to openly rape our Province for profit, #Eby is completely out of line and no different than #Horgan.
I have not seen what is in Bill 14, so I cannot comment, but I assume it is written in the same language.
When government has a clear and obvious solution to an issue they choose to highlight, yet they do anything but that clear and obvious solution, there is probably a reason. Usually what they are doing instead of doing the right thing is the reason.
When #parents won't #MaskUp - they teach their #children to not be safe with their #health too. They also teach their kids to not care about others in the community. I'm blown away by how many parents are OK with exposing themselves & their kids to several preventable, airborne illnesses, including covid. They're risking death & disabilities on themselves & their kids.
Our #PublicHealth system is already overburdened & understaffed. We have many former health care workers with long covid & they never returned to work. We are nowhere near prepared to deal with many future cases of long covid & the 2ndary illnesses & disabilities that more people will suffer from - because they aren't being #CovidSafe.
Our government & mainstream media has stopped reporting facts on covid & on long covid. They want the public to forget about it. Which means dismissing the lives of disabled people like me & many others, who are still being covid safe.
@nicktsergas #BCNDP #DavidEby is a #neoliberal. His support of eugenist, #BonnieHenry on #covid safety failures, is why I'm not surprised that he is being an #AntiScience #chump with this issue too.
