Arms Embargo Now!
Our new report has just exposed a massive pipeline of military aircraft parts and explosives flowing from Canada to Israel via the U.S., facilitated by a deadly loophole in Canadian law.

Public health seems to think people already know what measles does. They don't. Before vaccines people definitely know what measles did, and how many children and adults it killed either directly or through immune damage that left people open to subsequent infections. Explain it for crying out loud.

The only report about measles that actually covered how serious the virus is was the recent story about babies who died after catching measles in utero. But even so we don't get a sense of what measles does to the body, or how it wipes out our acquired immune memory - nothing.

I'm genuinely confused about why I've heard virtually no public health statements or news reports about measles that actually explain all of the gruesome things measles does.
Public health seems allergic to "scaring people" - to the point of not informing people.

Fee increases are just another form of taxation. Often making it more difficult for those with lower incomes to participate.

🚨 PARK BOARD NEWS 🚨
I've been told that the B.C. government WILL BE RETRACTING its bill to allow Vancouver to hold a referendum to get rid of the park board.
It might return next year, but I understand more work is needed re: disputes with Sim, and further consultations with First Nations.

I’m happy to hear the Park Board has been saved. Three years ago, I was told by Ken Sim it was a done deal and would be gone by January. I left my party over this and worked to ensure the Park Board was protected until people could vote. It’s been a long three years, but worth it. 🌳💚
