Support HEU Members in an Exorcism of NDP Influence from the HEU Collective Body Please support the members of the Hospital Employees’ Union who are working to expose corruption and hold HEU President Barb Nederpel and the current leadership accountable. HEU members’ money — amounting to millions of dollars — has been used to advance NDP party interests rather than to protect workers, causing serious harm to union members and to residents of British Columbia. At the same time, HEU leadership exempted themselves and approximately 300 union staff members from public health orders, while failing to support — and in many cases remaining silent as — thousands of HEU members were terminated for not complying with those very same orders. In just one week, this group has raised $8,775 from individual donors. The group initially expected HEU locals to pass motions at local meetings to fund the legal challenge. However, on Monday, HEU Financial Secretary Betty Valenzuela sent an email threatening local executives with serious discipline if they donated money to the challenge, claiming it was against the interests of the union. This unprecedented, pre-emptive threat by a 77-year-old Financial Secretary earning approximately $250,000 per year against the autonomy of local executives and members is a blatant misrepresentation. The legal challenge is simply asking HEU leadership to provide audited results or any reports from Simply Voting showing that ratification actually passed. One of the 161 locals was prepared to contribute $4,000 until that email was sent. Following the email, HEU leadership deployed elected officials and staff representatives to attend and police local meetings. It has now been 36 days of complete radio silence from HEU leadership, and the most alarming fact is that even the bargaining committee has never been provided with any report showing that ratification passed. Even a $10 donation from the public will help send a message. The lack of meaningful opposition in this province is allowing corruption to grow, as the NDP installs its loyalists in public institutions that are supposed to hold officials accountable. Please help the members of the Hospital Employees’ Union remove NDP influence from their collective and stop HEU from being used as an ATM. There are many financially secure members in this group for whom $10 or $20 is a small amount, but together it sends a clear message to the NDP that opposition exists — even if it is not currently represented in the Legislature. gofund.me/e76852f68

Dear Premier David Eby, Members of the Legislative Assembly, and School District Officials, RECONSIDER THE DECISION TO DEMOLISH TUMBLER RIDGE SECONDARY SCHOOL As a member of the Tumbler Ridge community, we have discussed how to move forward after this tragedy, and tearing down the building was not even part of the equation. Like many others in this community, I believe the Province is moving toward an expensive symbolic decision that may not truly help the children and families affected. First and foremost, our community would like to thank all British Columbians for the unconditional support, compassion, and love that has been provided from day one. No words can fully capture the pain and trauma experienced by this close-knit community, and the kindness shown by people across the province has meant more than many will ever know. However, I respectfully ask that the Province reconsider the decision to tear down a structurally sound school building as a symbolic response to trauma. While the intention may be compassionate, I believe this approach risks sending the wrong message to the very children we are trying to help. The building itself is not responsible for what happened. Evil and violence came from an individual’s actions, not from concrete walls or classrooms. If we teach children that healing comes from destroying physical places tied to painful memories, we may unintentionally reinforce fear and avoidance rather than resilience and recovery. Real healing does not come from pretending tragedy never happened or by covering it up with a new structure. Healing comes from helping young people confront reality, process grief honestly, support one another, and learn that painful events are unfortunately part of life. Shielding children from difficult memories may provide temporary comfort, but avoiding trauma entirely can sometimes deepen fear instead of reducing it. I also question whether demolishing a perfectly functional public building is the best use of taxpayer money during a time when British Columbia faces serious shortages in mental health services, addictions treatment, housing, education support staff, and healthcare resources. Instead of spending massive amounts of public money on demolition, rebuilding, memorial planning, consultants, and related costs, I would ask the Province to create a protected long-term trust fund specifically for the students, staff, and families directly impacted by this tragedy. Those affected could access these funds not only today, but years down the road when trauma often resurfaces in different ways throughout life. These funds could help pay for mental health treatment, education, career training, housing assistance, transportation, childcare, recreation, addiction treatment, or any supports needed to improve quality of life and future opportunities. This would provide real and lasting help directly to victims and their families instead of investing primarily in symbolism. Most importantly, the amount needed to provide meaningful long-term financial support to these families would likely still be only a small fraction of what the Province is preparing to spend demolishing a solid building and constructing a completely new school. The focus should be on investing in people, not concrete. British Columbia is also facing significant financial pressures, much like many poorer countries and communities around the world that simply cannot afford to tear down and rebuild public buildings every time tragedy occurs. In many of those places, communities have still found ways to heal, recover, and move forward through resilience, direct support, and human connection rather than expensive symbolic projects. Compassion alone is not enough — practical financial support and long-term opportunities for victims are what truly help people rebuild their lives. We in British Columbia also need to take the lead in finding better ways to address mental health and trauma by thinking outside the box instead of continuing approaches that have not truly solved these issues. For decades, governments and institutions have spent enormous amounts of money reacting to trauma after the fact, yet mental health struggles, addictions, and hopelessness continue to grow in many communities. Perhaps this tragedy is an opportunity to start focusing more on resilience, long-term personal support, community healing, and practical assistance rather than symbolic actions that may provide temporary comfort but do little to change long-term outcomes. I also understand that many people are looking to place blame on things such as ChatGPT, artificial intelligence, social media, or other outside influences. While those discussions may have merit, at the end of the day we as a society still need to take responsibility for how we support our own communities, guide our children, recognize suffering earlier, and help people before they reach a crisis point. Technology alone is not responsible for the strength or weakness of a community — people are. A few thoughts also need to be considered. Politicians are not trained mental health or trauma-response professionals, and decisions made immediately after a tragedy are often driven by emotion, public pressure, and symbolism rather than long-term evidence of what truly helps people heal. Before making irreversible and extremely costly decisions such as demolishing a school, there should be broader discussion involving experienced trauma specialists, psychologists with differing perspectives, educators, families, and the community itself to ensure the response is focused on long-term recovery rather than appearances. As a government that often emphasizes reconciliation and Indigenous perspectives, perhaps there are alternative approaches worth exploring with local First Nations communities — including cultural healing practices, ceremonies, or spiritual cleansing of the building and grounds. Many cultures throughout history have faced tragedy without erasing every place connected to pain. Communities healed by coming together, acknowledging loss honestly, and rebuilding strength collectively. I also worry about the broader message being sent to future generations: that painful places must always be removed rather than understood, confronted, and transformed through healing and support. This issue should not become political or symbolic. It should be practical, compassionate, and focused on what genuinely helps children heal over the long term. I urge the Province to slow this process down and engage in broader consultation, including trauma specialists, educators, parents, taxpayers, local First Nations, and especially students themselves. Sometimes admitting “we do not yet know the perfect answer” is wiser than rushing toward an expensive symbolic solution that may not truly help those suffering. Children deserve honesty, strength, guidance, opportunity, and long-term support — not simply another building. Sincerely, Helen Scott

Caroline Elliott Wants to Vaccinate Everybody — Including Children. How Is That Conservative? What Caroline will bring home is more of the same — a vision no different than Bonnie Henry’s when it comes to vaccinating everybody, including children, while ignoring individual choice and freedom. Her brother-in-law Kevin Falcon and the BC Liberals sat on their hands, and much like sellout Singh at the federal level, kept their eyes on pensions and political survival while the BCNDP and their public-sector union allies kept public health orders in place for more than 28 months — longer than almost anywhere else in Canada. Maybe Caroline wears the same designer shoes as the fake doctor Bonnie Henry, but that is not leadership, and it certainly is not a conservative position that protects the freedoms of British Columbians and Canadians. She still refuses to step back from the “vaccinate everybody” mindset and simply let people decide for themselves — my body, my choice — not government control.

@NVanCaroline Yeah but you want to vaccinate all the kids. Shame.

I will fight to repeal the NDP’s DRIPA agenda and use every legal avenue available to reverse the damage that has been done to private property rights in BC. As Premier, I will protect your property rights and stand up for the people who built this province.

Hospital Employees’ Union President — Dual Loyalties? This is the most corrupt union leader in BC where she sits on the BCNDP provincial executive (the employer) but does not list it in her bio on the Hospital Employees’ Union website. The question is WHY? This union has failed to provide certified election results from the ratification vote in December 2025 where members have gone to BC Supreme Court, File Number VLC-S-S-261188, just to get the election results, which members allege did not vote in favour of ratification but the results were changed to make it happen. In the last provincial election, according to filed documents, HEU spent $470,401 on advertising alone to get Barb Nederpel’s BCNDP elected. Why is the media not asking questions? This is not hearsay or gossip where all you have to do is read the civil claim in BC Supreme Court and contact the plaintiffs yourself. It seems like Barb Nederpel and HEUBC.CA are joined at the hip because when you Google her name, HEUBC.CA is front and center everywhere you look.

@SimplyVoting @BNederpel @HospitalEmploy2 @bcfed @cupenat @CUPEBC @RobShaw_BC @DreaHumphrey @GlobalBC @bcndp @Conservative_BC @One_BCHQ @TaraArmstrongBC @Jordan_Keal Failure to Comply with BC Supreme Court Order – April 2, 2026 Jessie Bains @gmail.com>1:43 PM (0 minutes ago) to Simply, elanoue, black@simplevote.ca, info, support To: Simply Voting Inc. Simply Voting Inc. has now failed to comply with the BC Supreme Court Order dated April 2, 2026 requiring full disclosure relating to the Hospital Employees’ Union in BC ratification vote of December 19, 2025. More than 30 days have passed since the Order was made, and to date there has been no full disclosure provided despite the Order being binding and enforceable directly against Simply Voting Inc. What makes this matter even more concerning is that Simply Voting issued what appears to be a second “certified” set of results on January 5, 2026, despite no additional voting taking place, no recount being conducted, and no independent scrutineers overseeing any process that could justify altered or re-certified results. As plaintiffs, we believe serious questions now arise regarding Simply Voting’s role in this matter and whether the company is assisting the Hospital Employees’ Union in BC in covering up the original December 19, 2025 ratification results. Simply Voting publicly represents itself as an independent third-party election provider. However, based on the conduct surrounding this process, there are growing concerns that the company’s priority is protecting its client relationship rather than ensuring transparency, accountability, and independent election integrity. We again demand immediate compliance with the April 2, 2026 Court Order, including full disclosure of all records, communications, voting data, audit logs, certifications, and correspondence relating to the December 19, 2025 ratification vote and the January 5, 2026 certified results. Please confirm within five (5) business days that Simply Voting intends to comply fully with the Order. Failing this, further enforcement steps will be pursued and the matter will continue to be brought to the attention of the media and the public given the broader concerns regarding transparency and trust in online voting systems.

HEU’s president is an executive member of the current governing BCNDP, which means the interests of the membership are secondary to her political ambitions, where she spends hundreds of thousands of HEU members’ funds to get the BCNDP elected. So Barb and Lynn worked together to hand the government a four-year deal on a silver platter, where even the shift premiums were kicked down the road for the first time ever. Barb negotiates with herself when it comes to the CBA and also when it comes to negotiating with HEU staff, where her salary and compensation are based on the same raises as staff. The word CONFLICT OF INTEREST is virtually tattooed on Barb’s forehead. Why does Barb Nederpel not list her affiliation to the BCNDP in her biography on HEU website? Barb Nederpel also omits being on the Board of Directors of Community Savings Credit Union along with Lynn Bueckert, where HEU invested $2 million in low-interest shares. Barb and Lynn will receive a financial windfall from CSCU once they leave HEU, which avoids a current conflict of interest in the form of investment shares acting as commission for bringing in HEU business. These are two serious omissions where members are kept in the dark. HEU has also refused to provide the certified election results of December 19th because they show the membership voted no to ratification, which would go against Barb Nederpel’s true masters — the BCNDP. Unfortunately, Barb has been bragging to other PE members about how she has removed all competition against her, where she is guaranteed to be re-elected because no one who is a convention delegate has the profile to seriously challenge her.

@BNederpel @HospitalEmploy2 @RobShaw_BC @DreaHumphrey Betty Valenzuela Must Resign for Cosigning Barb Nederpel’s Failures Shame on Betty Valenzuela, now age 77, who has been earning over $250,000 while representing Vancouver General Hospital, yet has done nothing to make life better for members in her local. The sad reality is the main reason she asks for votes is because she is Filipino, and just like others in that local, many act as if that alone is the qualification needed to sit on the Provincial Executive. Why does HEU have six equity committees when over 85% of the union is already female and most visible minorities and equity groups are already well represented throughout HEU leadership? Betty lost her voice to speak up for members once she got elected and has been making well over $200,000 for the last eight years while no longer responding to members. I personally sent her several emails in 2024 where she not only failed to respond, but did not even acknowledge them. Members deserve confirmation she will not run again in November and allow another member out of 70,000 the opportunity to earn a decent income instead of the same people remaining in power year after year simply signing the cheques

Personal Appeal About Accountability, Principle Jessie Bains @gmail.com>3:58 PM (0 minutes ago) to Jennifer.Whiteside.MLA Dear Jennifer Whiteside, I am reaching out to you because we need to be honest about who we are. I grew up in Vancouver East in the 1970s and 1980s as a strong supporter of Bob Williams and the NDP. I have been a union representative since 1987 in OTEU, HEU, BCGEU, and PIPSC. I will be straight and say this clearly: I believe Barb Nederpel has become detrimental to the labour movement, and I believe she used her political relationship with you to influence the replacement of the vice-chair at the Labour Board against me. I strongly believe that in March 2025 Barb Nederpel used you to replace the vice-chair at the BCLRB overseeing my Section 12 applications with an NDP insider named Andres Barker, who was appointed by David Eby in 2018, and that you did not question her motives. Please read my Section 12 applications yourself. If after reading them you honestly believe I was wrong, then I will understand and disappear quietly. However, other seasoned lawyers have reviewed my arguments and believe I would have succeeded had Andres Barker not been involved. I have never tried to use political connections against another human being, and I never would unless from the bottom of my heart I believed they were acting against our common principles. I say this because I am a true believer in universal law, where every one of us eventually answers to a higher power beyond any government or legal system. I have always believed a politician may lie and cheat to obtain their first million or secure political survival, but once they are no longer dependent on that income, they should go out of their way to help others, because we come into this world with nothing and leave with nothing. If I, as an individual, have enough to live a comfortable life and still understand the importance of helping others, then politicians must also realize they are not that important in the bigger picture of life. Jennifer, you have been given an opportunity by God to make a real difference. Do you really want to waste that opportunity protecting Barb Nederpel, who in many ways displays the same characteristics people criticize in Donald Trump — loyalty to power over principle and division over accountability? I also want to point out something deeply personal. Chris Doris, who single-handedly dismissed my grievance, later lost his son to suicide. Maybe that is coincidence, maybe it is not. But when HEU threw me away, they did not just hurt me — they hurt my entire family who depended on my income. My wife, who already looks after her 89-year-old mother and my mother who is over 100 years old, had to return to work because HEU failed to represent me and instead worked against me because of Barb Nederpel. Sometimes we have to hold our friends accountable, especially when they lose sight of the very people they were supposed to protect. Sincerely, Jessie Bains

I strongly believe that in March 2025 Barb Nederpel used you to replace the vice-chair at the BCLRB overseeing my Section 12 applications with an NDP insider named Andres Barker, who was appointed by David Eby in 2018, and that you did not question her motives. Please read my Section 12 applications yourself. If after reading them you honestly believe I was wrong, then I will understand and disappear quietly. However, other seasoned lawyers have reviewed my arguments and believe I would have succeeded had Andres Barker not been involved. I have never tried to use political connections against another human being, and I never would unless from the bottom of my heart I believed they were acting against our common principles. I say this because I am a true believer in universal law, where every one of us eventually answers to a higher power beyond any government or legal system. I have always believed a politician may lie and cheat to obtain their first million or secure political survival, but once they are no longer dependent on that income, they should go out of their way to help others, because we come into this world with nothing and leave with nothing. If I, as an individual, have enough to live a comfortable life and still understand the importance of helping others, then politicians must also realize they are not that important in the bigger picture of life. Jennifer, you have been given an opportunity by God to make a real difference. Do you really want to waste that opportunity protecting Barb Nederpel, who in many ways displays the same characteristics people criticize in Donald Trump — loyalty to power over principle and division over accountability? I also want to point out something deeply personal. Chris Doris, who single-handedly dismissed my grievance, later lost his son to suicide. Maybe that is coincidence, maybe it is not. But when HEU threw me away, they did not just hurt me — they hurt my entire family who depended on my income. My wife, who already looks after her 89-year-old mother and my mother who is over 100 years old, had to return to work because HEU failed to represent me and instead worked against me because of Barb Nederpel. Sometimes we have to hold our friends accountable, especially when they lose sight of the very people they were supposed to protect. Sincerely, Jessie Bains
