So many ppl worked tirelessly to make the Comox #SchoolStreet a success, hoping it would become permanent.
The decision to not make it permanent came from staff. But Mayor Sim and ABC could have provided leadership. They didn’t. That’s the failure.

"'The effort by the No Labels Party is a direct threat to our democracy and opens a clear path for Donald Trump's reelection. Plus, history and data show that there is no actual scenario where No Labels can win with their third-party ticket.'" cbsnews.com/news/democratic-…

As an Indigenous woman raising a boy whose grandparents survived residential school, I & our family will always stand with transgender kids & transgender adults, and support gender fluidity, and education that teaches children (and adults) that everyone belongs in this country.
Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation — or Orange Shirt Day.
Today, we remember what happens when the Canadian government thinks it's better at raising children than parents.
I will always stand with parents. #bcpoli

The #1 cause of death in BC between the ages of 10 to 59 is the unregulated, poisoned drug supply that contains fentanyl, xylazine, benzos and other adulterants. Number one. Let that sink in. There are some people who made it clear over the past couple days that they DO NOT support safer alternatives to help remove people from that deadly supply. If you're unable to understand the complexities of addiction and why someone can't "just stop using drugs" then your ignorant beliefs are part of the reason why we will continue to lose friends, family members and loved ones.
Orange Shirt Day today: National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. We face the past with open eyes, and celebrate the victories when they come. History is being made today and we can still choose to be on the right side of it.

Elon Musk just fired half of the Election Integrity Team at X.
Allowing election misinformation to fester on this platform opens our democracy up to further attack and disinformation.
But Elon seems fine with that.

The WGA and AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement. This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who stood with us for over 146 days. More details coming after contract language is finalized. #WGAStrike
