I've redacted the names of the letter writers in these images.

The only thing you're right about, is that our schools - our KIDS - deserve better.

And this board ain't it.

Screencap of tweet from Alfred Chien (@alfredchien1), VSB school trustee, white text on black background, reads: As a VSB Trustee, I expect emails -- it's part of the job. But getting 160+ identical emails from the same DPAC admin account, just with different names, isn't advocacy -- it's spam. Let's raise the standard of communication. Our schools deserve better. #VSB #PublicEducation Below this are four screencaps, each featuring lines of emails with the sender 'VANCOUVER DPAC', and title 'Budgeting for Inclusion' and warnings that the emails originated from outside of their organization. The tweet was posted at 21:55 on 2025-04-23 - but has since (this morning, May 4, 2025) been deleted.

These are the types of stories Trustee Chien & @vote4abc.bsky.social are complaining about having to listen to.

Stories that continue to exist, b/c of their unwillingness to spend money on Inclusive Ed.

(The VSB rolled $2.8 MILLION of unspent 2023/24 Inclusive Ed $ into general accts.)

Tweet from me, @jaclynmacrae, white text on black background, from Sept 2, 2024, reads: My child is disabled; they are designated under the Ministry of Education. They require supports in their @vsb39 classroom. They are FUNDED to receive those supports. They are *actively* denied those supports; without exaggeration, we are told NO - no EA, no SLP. NO. @Kehyslop

Back to back in my feed.

But Poilievre isn't like Trump.

Ok.
Screencap of two back to back BSKY posts, both with white text on a dark grey background. The first post, from 🇨🇦Canadian🇨🇦 In Perth @flyingstronger.bsky.social, reads: 3h In a message to The Tyee, Trinh added that while walking through the crowd & chatting to supporters at a campaign event on Tuesday evening, she was told by a handler to return to the media area. She was also restricted from interviewing people inside the venue, she said. thetyee.ca/News/2025/04... This post features an image from the Tyee with a brown brick building in the background on a cold, sunny day. In the foreground is a crowd of onlookers to the left, on the right, we see CPC leader Poilievre (white man, short dark hair, glasses, wearing dark clothing) shaking someone's hand (also a white man, balding, wearing dark clothing). The article is titled Three Things Reporters Would Ask Poilievre. If They Could | The Tyee ~ The second post, from J. Offir, PhD @joffirphd.bsky.social, reads: 1m The WH is giving the silent treatment to journos with preferred pronouns in their bios b/c, per ultimate middle school mean girl Karoline Leavitt, they "clearly [don't] care about...reality or truth and therefore cannot be trusted to write an honest story.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... This post features an image from the Washington Post which shows White House spox Karoline Leavitt (white lady with blonde hair) facing camera, with a scrum of various reporters grouped behind her. They are all, Leavitt included, dressed in dark clothing. This article is titled: White House says it ignores journalists who use pronouns in email bios

From the January 2025 Inclusive Education Working Group report:

ADVOCATING FOR EQUITY: A CAREGIVER-LED EXAMINATION OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN VANCOUVER PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Screencap of passage from the January 2025 Inclusive Education Working Group Report, titled: ADVOCATING FOR EQUITY: A CAREGIVER-LED EXAMINATION OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN VANCOUVER PUBLIC SCHOOLS Black text on white background, reads: Adequate funding matters for SWD The survey showed that families want to see meaningful, sustained improvements in support for SWD. There is a direct relationship between student support and funding levels. We were concerned, though not surprised, to learn that the VSB’s inclusion budget has been shrinking relative to the number of students requiring support. However, we did not expect to find that the inclusion budget had fallen below the level of ministry grant funding provided for Level 1, 2, and 3 designated students. Nor did we expect the VSB to underspend their inclusive education budget by $2.8 Million in the 2023/24 school year. These are alarming facts. "Nor did we expect the VSB to underspend their inclusive education budget by $2.8 Million in the 2023/24 school year." is highlighted in red.

And this is why ventilation alone will never be enough.

Vent and relax ignores source control.

And if we're not doing society-wide source control (test, trace, isolate, support), so that COVID doesn't get into spaces in the first place, we need masks.

Screencap from study, black text highlighted in orange, on a white background, reads: Key findings reveal that in patient wards, the short-range viral dose is 10-fold higher than the long-range component, highlighting the critical role of close proximity interactions. Implementation of FFP2 respirators resulted in a remarkable 13-fold reduction in viral dose, underscoring the effectiveness of personal protective equipment (PPE). Additionally, the model demonstrated that an 8 h exposure in a poorly ventilated office can equate to the risk of a 15 min face-to-face, mask-less interaction, emphasizing the importance of physical distancing and source control.

Screencap of tweet from Dr. Jen Gunther, white text on black background, reads: I was just asked to be on The National to discuss Roe and abortion...and then I found out it would be a panel with a "pro-life/anti-abortion" voice. I am livid and sent this reply. I couldn't care less if this means I will not be asked back to the CBC. It needed to be said. 12:40 PM June 24, 2022 Her tweet contains a screencap of her email to CBC, which is in the next image, and ALT text is provided there, as it's too long to fit in this description. Screencap of Dr. Gunter's email to CBC, black text on white background, reads: I have to decline the CBC's interview request if you are also interviewing a forced birth advocate. There is zero point in being on a show that elevates those who lie to deny medical care. In fact, elevating these people is part of the problem and why we are dealing with this snowballing medical tragedy. Maternal deaths will rise. People will get clandestine abortions and suffer horrendous consequences. People won't be able to get the best care for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. And many forms of contraception are also on the line. There is no scientific counter to this travesty. Just lies. Every single scientific opinion points to the necessity of legal, safe, affordable abortion and contraception. I've pulled a fetal skull out of the abdomen of someone who was butchered by a cheap provider because they couldn't afford good care. I will not participate in false equivalency. If you are interested in a factual discussion about where things are and the myriad of ways lives will be upended to satisfy fetal worship in the United States and what people stand to lose in Canada if you go down this pathway, I am free. If you want me to explain how all of the forced birth talking points are lies, I'm your gal. If you want me to explain what it was like in Canada when we had abortion laws, I am also an expert here. But I will not participate in any program that features those who seek to harm women. The CBC has a massive platform and it should not be used to provide the illusion that there is a debate. Abortion is a human right and when you platform forced birthers that means you subscribe to the belief that those who can get pregnant are not deserving of human rights. Respectfully, Jen
