Breen Ouellette (he/him)

Sean's injury will require weeks to months in hospital, and months to years of recovery, likely including psychological recovery. If you have the capacity, a GoFundMe has been set up so that he will be able to focus on his recovery without worrying about his bills: www.gofundme.com/f/no-one-fig...

At the next BC NDP Convention, delegates must clean house! And now is the time to start! Before the next leadership race begins. Make it the front and centre issue, impossible to ignore.

I wonder how many people know the BC Conservatives have vowed to end rent increase limits

David Eby just proved that electors see through the cynicism of fighting only for a party win. Electors want to vote for a party that puts people first. Or many of them won't vote at all. And then we get a government that separates people to benefit a chosen group and harm the rest.

COPE has become the model of cooperation that is the antithesis of how this provincial election was called and managed. Delegates to the next BC NDP Convention need to organize now to clear the leadership of every person who backed the snap election.

The Conservatives didn't win on their platform. They won because Eby is being punished. The BC NDP should look to COPE in Vancouver and reflect on cooperative trust building if they don't want to get punished next time.

Very much this.

Anyone else want to know the names of every person in the party leadership that backed Eby's call for a snap election? Identify them and start preparing NOW to oust them at the next BC NDP Convention!

BC out there proving democracy... really, REALLY, R-E-A-L-L-Y... is the worst form of Government except for all the other ones.

My first cousin once removed was burned in the CFB Wainwright fire. Sean's grandmother is Joyce Hiatt (née Ouellette), who is my auntie and one of my father's older sisters. Sean has suffered second degree burns over 50% of his body, including his head. Sean needs our help...

Now will someone please report on the fact that political parties across Canada are also outside the jurisdiction of privacy commissions. Federal, provincial, and municipal. Dippers, Grits, and Tories. All except in BC. @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social

Alberta government adopts racist argument. No one surprised. Should be a crime.

Yup. Outside of the military it's called "Workers Compensation". Each province's Workers Compensation Act stipulatrs that employers are not legally liable for injuries covered by workers comp insurance. Anyone who's been on workers comp benefits will tell you that it doesn't cover their losses.

The same reason that employers across Canada don't pay for the injuries suffered by their employees at work. The federal and provincial governments have created legislative frameworks which marginally care for the injured employee while protecting the employer from being sued for their negligence.

Help me understand why the military isn’t paying for everything

Three points: 1. Make self-fulfilling "338canada" predictions illegal. 2. Watch Vancouver municipal elections for an accurate contrarian barometer of BC election outcomes. 3. Take BC gov't to the International Criminal Court if BC Cons win & repeal the lukewarm-bowl-of-oatmeal that is DRIPA.

One of my relatives was badly injured CFB Wainwright. Please donate blood, if you can.

Always the same tired playbook. An accusation doesn't have to be true to turn the gaze of the foolish away from the real problem. China and Russia are again meddling in the US election. The Trump administration response? Point the finger at Canada. 🤷

Including every person's need for a healthy environment and planet. Not new Carney pipelines.

Tommy Douglas knew then what New Democrats still know today. If we could mobilize the resources of this country to defeat Nazi tyranny, there is no reason we cannot do the same to make sure that each and every person has what they need to live a dignified life. Happy Birthday, Tommy.

Always been a fan of the doorknobs in the old Winnipeg courthouse.

Anyone who has ever been involved in s.35 consultations, on either side, will be able to tell you with absolute certainty that there is no possible way that they could accomplish this in a year, never mind 2.5 months. Smith is just straight up lying.

From Jenny Kwan's time as being COPE: The Coalition of Progressive Electors lone city councillor in 1993 to her tenure as an MLA and MP, she has fougth tirelessly for Vancouver. We are so grateful to have a fighter like Jenny to learn from, and we after honoured to have her support!

I interviewed @devyani.bsky.social Singh prior to the 2020 election. Tonight, it looks like Devyani, a true climate champion, has been elected to Vancouver city council. www.straight.com/news/climate...

Thank you, Vancouver. We did it!! This win would not have been possible without each and every one of you: the volunteers who spent countless hours talking to people; to every one of you who donated; and every voter who trusted @copevancouver with their vote. I am deeply humbled and grateful.

THANK YOU, VANCOUVER! Last night, we made history in Vancouver by electing 12 COPE candidates to city council, school board, and park board as part of a progressive sweep that pushed out every person from Ken Sim’s team except one.

Ken Sim, Evicted. ✅

9/ What Musk has demonstrated is that the Starlink kill switch is real, that he personally controls it, and that he's willing to use it for purely personal reasons, against the interests of his own company and country. This is utterly disastrous for SpaceX's credibility.

AI bots made $138 million in crypto payments last year. To buy their own compute resources. Seems perfectly harmless. 🙄

No surprise. Colonized peoples stand against crimes against humanity abroad and face oppression from their own oppressors at home.

This isn’t just an academic conversation anymore, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes. Right now, it’s a test of whether people are willing to make sacrifices in the name of their country’s sovereignty and independence, and many — too many — of our leaders are failing it.
