I don't wish him dead; I just don't want to see him back in office telling more lies.

Oh, I don't think we need fear him returning to power. The Conservatives are vicious and the knives will be out for him. If he doesn't die he'll do well from this, he can go back to peddling lies in the papers and won't be held to account for his lunatic economic policies.

Ahhhhhh. The intolerance of the "tolerant". Nice to see that BE is back to normal.

Are you related to Titania? :lol:

Biography

Titania McGrath is a radical intersectionalist poet committed to feminism, social justice and armed peaceful protest. A regular on the live-slam poetry scene, Titania regularly performs at arts festivals, deconsecrated churches and genderqueer spiritual retreats. Her unique blend of art and activism has been variously described as 'inspiring', 'groundbreaking' and 'woke'.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titania_McGrath Duh, I see it was a parody account. It was so close to actual descriptons I've seen by people who are enraged about everything. A City Councillor here is like this..everything offends her, she is firmly in support of any form of poverty porn, and wouldn't know a job creating opportunity/business/project if she saw it..and then she wonders why property owners etc never meet with her or brief her on projects in her ward.

Well I have been well and truly hoodwinked....

Vancouver Park Board is closing Stanley Park to cars in an effort to reduce how many people go there. Staff have issued 1,600 warnings to people not maintaining proper social distancing.

Interesting article, touches on some of the differences between BC and back east.

4 new deaths in BC.

Hospitalizations are down a bit to 138.

25 new cases in the last 24 hours.

1,291 total cases confirmed of which 805 have recovered, and 43 have died.

Dr. Henry provincial health officer is happy to see religious leaders doing virtual celebrations for the various holidays coming up.

4,549 hospital beds are currently available.

Travel between Alberta and BC is a concern.

BC doesn't have an urgent need for ventilators but could change in the future.
