    Why? Are we not allowing freedom of expression? She can freely choose to wear what she wants of her own free will. She's free to take it off. Wear it if she wants. It's a constitutional right is it not?

    This is a modern woman who has chosen to wear it. Support her constitutional right to express herself just as you have the same right.

    Vancouver General Hospital is a mess this morning. It's at surge level 2. A source says that means patients are being sent home. No one mops the floors. No one does beds. It's chaotic and wards packed like a can of sardines. @adriandix. Fix our hospitals. This can't go on!

    Wear a scarf Today will be the coldest day of the week with much below normal temperatures in the Northeast. Wind Chills of zero to minus 25 degrees are forecast for portions of the Northeast. Dress in layers for the cold, and cover exposed skin in Wind Chill Advisory areas.

    #bcpoli When testing system collapses they say there's no need to get tested. When contact tracing collapses they say it's not useful. When they can't to afford to have isolation for 14 days they tell you 5 is enough. Truth - they failed to prepare for worst case scenario..

    #bcpoli We have no clue how many BC citizens have died in nine days. Imagine hiding the death toll from covid to protect DBH. Shame on you Adrian Dix. @adriandix @jjhorgan

    #bcpoli Dear John. I'm glad your Covid-19 experience was mild. But that's not the experience of thousands including over 3,030 who died. We are not running for the hills. But we ask for society-wide protection. As simple as a mask mandate. Do your job. Protect people. @jjhorgan

    Mount St. Joseph's Hospital - people waiting in a tent to see doctor. Others waiting outside in the cold and rain. Oppenheimer Park might look more organized. Dix doesn't get it. Will never get it. He does cosmetic things to appear to be acting. What a mess.

    #bcpoli A personal note. My friends. A few days back I fell down stairs. A hard fall. One vertebra lost half its height. But spinal cord remained intact. I'm now 5' - 11.5" tall. Spent 7 days at best hospital in BC - Mount Saint Joseph. Best docs. Top nursing.❤️@Providence_Hlth

    #bcpoli Exclusive: Between 50 to 60 residents of Long Term Care unit on the 2nd floor of Mount St. Joseph's hospital have been infected with Covid. But no one has declared an outbreak since deliberate data blindness was implemented by public health.

    I'm hearing of very high levels of absent pupils in many schools. Some reaching 40% reporting ill. One of the sources is a school principal. What does it take to push Bonnie Henry to take preventive actions? She has so much inertia, she'll do nothing unless she's pushed.

    #bcpoli One of the facts revealed in batch of leaked documents is that some areas of Surrey had 20% positivity. Keeping schools open in these areas was an unconscionable decision. Not even red states in US would have done that. WHO threshold was 5%. Reckless endangerment.
