@JohnRustad4BC Well carbon tax cut compasation revenue that you and your conseritives screamed for results are you made worse then attack them on what that John

The latest Moody's downgrade, with a negative outlook, is yet another wake-up call that the NDP under David Eby is wrecking British Columbia's finances. You can't rack up record deficits like $13.3 billion this year, balloon debt from under $90 billion to over $155 billion in no time, and keep pretending everything's fine. Moody's is calling out the "entrenched" deficits and poor fiscal choices straight from Eby's playbook, reckless spending, no real plan to balance the books, and higher borrowing costs that hit every taxpayer. This is bad management under David Eby. British Columbians are paying more in taxes and interest while getting less value. We need real leadership that stops the borrowing binge and gets us back to responsible budgeting, not more NDP fantasy promises. Time for change before it's too late. #bcpoli

@MLABrennanDay Well when screaming for imergrants leave bc and Dr nurses going get crises most are not from country so when do that outcomes shutdown stop telling them imergrants leave when need Dr nurse dumb what did all conseritives all levels

You think the problem is long wait times? The real problem is worse. The BC government isn’t even measuring specialist waitlists. Those “10-month waits”? 👉 Just surveys of doctors. No real tracking. No real data. You can’t fix what you don’t measure. Right now, they’re not even trying.

📢 Today, Inclusion Canada welcomes Alberta’s introduction of Bill 18—legislation that would limit assisted death to end-of-life circumstances within the province of Alberta’s health system. Since Track 2 MAiD was introduced, over 2,000 Canadians have died. These are not abstract numbers. They are people who may have needed support—not assisted death. Now we need national reform. All Canadians deserve equal protection. #RepealTrack2MAiD Read our media release here - 👇 inclusioncanada.ca/post/inclusion…

Five years ago, on March 17th 2021, the federal government granted people with disabilities who are not dying of natural causes special (discriminatory) access to assisted suicide through Track 2 MAiD (medical assistance in dying). At the time, our CEO, Krista Carr was widely quoted as saying “this is our worst nightmare.” It still is. If March 17th raises difficult feelings for you, you’re not alone. Today, at Inclusion Canada, we’re continuing work on our Charter Challenge. We’re promoting the fact that Canada must repeal Track 2 MAiD to become compliant with the CRPD (Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities). And, we’re advising the government not to legalize MAiD for mental illness in 2027. Someday, may this be history.

@Dallas_Brodie Maybe recall mla Brodie your disrespect to indiginious people wrong racist not exceptable Brodie mean and not compassion

For far too long, Eby and the BC NDP have allowed and empowered unelected band chiefs to hold our economy hostage. Race-based laws are blocking B.C.'s prosperity. DRIPA must be repealed, and the Musqueam Agreements must be rescinded immediately.

inclusion Canada is supportive of Bill S-228, which would clarify that forced and coerced sterilization is aggravated assault. We want to see it receive royal assent. Under Alberta and British Columbia’s eugenic sexual sterilization laws, which were repealed in the 1970s, at least 3000 people were sterilized. Some, now seniors, are following Bill S-228, including a member of our Board of Directors who was sterilized at an institution for people with an intellectual disability. As written, Bill S-228 would protect people with an intellectual disability of all sexes. This is vitally important, because people with an intellectual disability continue to be sterilized today. Thank you to journalist Maddi Dellplain for including our CEO Krista Carr in this @HealthyDebate piece that provides various perspectives. healthydebate.ca/2026/03/topic/…

Peers have approved a government amendment that will strengthen disability hate crime laws, but disabled campaigners say there must still be a “total overhaul” of legislation. disabilitynewsservice.com/peers-back-str…

Check out the February 2026 edition of the Institution Watch newsletter! This month, they talk about the addition of Roy Skoreyko as a member, a new series focusing on the strategies people with disabilities & their families are using to create a vision for a home, and a feature on Steph's housing story.

This news story serves as another cautionary tale. Further example of how Canada's assisted suicide law has gone way too far and must be scaled back. Parliament must say no to expanding Medical Assistance in Dying and also Repeal Track 2 which discriminates against persons with disabilities. Did you know, Track 2 has claimed the lives of 2,050 people from 2021-2024. These individuals weren't dying. nationalpost.com/news/families-…

Today marks 16 years since Canada ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). This December will also mark the 20th anniversary of the Convention’s adoption by the United Nations. The CRPD was created to ensure the full and equal enjoyment of human rights by people with disabilities and to promote respect for their inherent dignity. These milestones offer an important opportunity to pause and ask: Are we living up to the commitments we made? When the Convention was adopted, it marked a turning point — a shared global commitment to dignity, equality and belonging for people with disabilities. It affirmed that people with disabilities are rights-holders and active participants in society. But commitments on paper are not enough. Governments must demonstrate the leadership, accountability and action required to translate the Convention’s principles into real change in people’s lives. As we reflect on the past 16 years since Canada’s ratification, we recognize that progress has been made. But significant barriers remain. Inclusion Canada will continue to work to ensure that Canada fully implements the CRPD and delivers on equality and inclusion. The journey toward full inclusion is far from over. Canada made a legally binding commitment when it ratified the CRPD. Realizing that commitment requires sustained leadership, accountability and action. That accountability must start by repealing Track 2 Medical Assistance in Dying, implementing a coordinated deinstitutionalization strategy, ensuring consistent policies on inclusive education, and addressing the disproportionate poverty of people with disabilities. #CRPD

A joint committee of Parliament has been named with 10 MPs and 5 Senators to give recommendations on the future of Canada's assisted suicide law. Inclusion Canada CEO Krista Carr spoke with Postmedia News today. She called on Parliamentarians to repeal Track 2 of Medical Assistance in Dying and not widen any further access. Instead, Carr says governments should address the systemic economic and social issues impacting persons with disabilities. Examples include the need for better income supports, improved housing, employment and health access among other priorities. Thanks to @rmohamed_yow for including us in his story on the committee's upcoming work. We appreciate the opportunity to give a perspective on behalf of the 300+Inclusion groups throughout Canada. nationalpost.com/news/canada/sp… #cdnpoli #MAID

Today in the Legislature, I tabled a petition signed by 1,621 people calling on the government to immediately increase the shelter allowance for Persons with Disabilities. Only 25 percent of PWD recipients have access to low-income housing, leaving most to compete in the private rental market while facing barriers to employment and higher health-related costs. When the shelter allowance doesn’t match the cost of rent, people living with disabilities are pushed into instability, unsafe housing, or homelessness. This government has demonstrated it can find funding when it aligns with its political interests. But when it comes to people living with disabilities, they continue to be overlooked. You cannot pick winners and losers in an affordability crisis, especially when the people affected are the most vulnerable.

@KahlonRav Wow games going on subject discrimination race color sex trans wonder why violence Berry Neifield should not be getting away of discrimination politians others do that kind racist judgement of others wrong no one above law rights of them people deserve better treatment

Honestly shocked. The BC Conservatives just voted to legalize discrimination based on race, sex and other characteristics. They have voted to stop other bills at first reading during this parliament, but not this one.

- @FSIBC's National Exclusion Tracker shows a alarming 6783 cases of exclusion for disabled students from Sept to January That is a stark systemic failure to properly support students with disabilities. You can learn more & report exclusion at: exclusiontracker.com #bcpoli

@BCANDS1 @merry123459 Yes track 2 bad

@merry123459 I think you better go and research a little more, maybe start with Track 2.

MAID is reserved for terminally ill patients who face certain death. Painful, agonizing death without dignity. If the patient chooses, with approval from physicians they can arrange their own time of death so they don’t have to suffer to the end. This guy is a lying sack of 💩.

@DanRussellST Weird hockey changed alot usually wins but does not two many men on states side not called

A different USA “do you believe in miracles?” gold medal win. A miracle victory, despite being - by far - the second best team on the ice. Canadian domination not rewarded.
