The solution to the transgenders-in-bathrooms issue is to create a third bathroom just for bigoted assholes.
In an ideal scenario the President of the United States and the worst person in the world would be two different people.
Free-ish speech in action!
🚨NEW: Uh, what is going ON with the BC election?!? Because BC Conservative candidates are talking about eating bugs, blowing hairdryers up your nostrils and government-controlled weather machines……. Here’s what we know about the party that’s very likely to win this thing:
Showing up matters
I hate that some politicians have created a province where bullying and discriminating against children is “just their political opinion” and they are “exercising free speech” by creating spaces that are unsafe for children.

John Rustad's plan to not enforce the assault rifle ban is astonishing. This tells gangs that they can import and carry these weapons and police won’t seize them. It would make our streets less safe and put police officers at risk.
First Nations Leadership Council “The FNLC is extremely concerned by @JohnRustad4BC ’s ongoing efforts to pit British Columbians against each other” Read more: bit.ly/4ds79So #bcpoli
“To announce on today of all days that Rustad will continue his crusade to repeal DRIPA is astonishingly reprehensible. This "plan" will set us back decades and will continue to pit FNs against other British Columbians. This is not reconciliation.” GC Stewart Phillip #bcpoli
British Columbians! Election is in a couple weeks! I’d encourage you to vote @bcndp (or in some circumstances @BCGreens). Anything but BC Conservative! Lovely to see my old pal @christineeboyle door knocking the other day

Spoiler Alert: This would not result in fewer chance encounters with drug use outside Dairy Queen. Clean crack pipes reduce healthcare costs by preventing burns and infections to the lips. These types of supplies were also handed out by the gov’t Rustad was part of.

I try hard to keep my cool on this site, but this is next level. I’m livid right now. Although @Conservative_BC promotes recovery as the solution to the toxic drug crisis, apparently they don’t support recovery that includes employment. Here’s @timthielmann attacking someone in…

I'm sorry but minimizing the deaths of people during the pandemic, claiming that numbers were inflated is gross.

It's shocking to see John Rustad validate the crackpot conspiracy that the COVID-19 data was inflated to make the pandemic look worse. This was the same meeting where he said he regretted getting the vaccine and attacked Dr. Henry for using it as "control on the population. 1/2
Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone anywhere & without immediate treatment, it can lead to brain damage or death. I want to thank @shirleybond for her tireless advocacy to make life-saving AEDs more accessible in #BC @HeartandStroke news.gov.bc.ca/31707
BARS 🍻 are SUPERVISED CONSUMPTION SITES ‼️ If you've had too much alcohol your server will bring you a coffee, some water, and call you a taxi to make it home safely ... That's harm reduction. If you use unregulated drugs and overdose there is someone there to revive you,…
The #CANpoli debate on here right now seems VERY focused on the word #wacko. I get that there are rules in the House of Commons, but I’ve heard a lot worse 😂 What bothers me is the DISHONESTY. Last night I joined Jim Richards (@JIMrichards1010) on iHeart Talk Radio to discuss…
Here’s another problem I have with the single-solution theory of a “recovery-oriented system of care.” It means you’re waiting until someone has an “addiction”before you help them. There are double that number (or more) of people who are at risk of injury or death from fentanyl…
I was in and out of St Paul’s Hospital many times over many years, for issues that did not involve my drug use. That included extended stays in the 10C ward, when — because I was a person who struggled with addiction ("addict") — I would consistently use drugs. This is not new.…
It’s with mixed feelings that I’ve decided not to put my name forward for re-election. Serving the people of Vancouver-Fairview since 2013 is one of the greatest honours of my life. Over these years, my work as a Member of the Legislature has taught me so much. #bcpoli
