Do you think the BC government's decision to provide free prescription contraception is:

Spoke with a woman in the north who got a prescription for an IUD. Her doctor in writing the note told her 'this is great, you need this & it's now free in BC!' Picking up her prescription the pharmacist said 'this would have cost you $300 but now free!'

What a good day in Osoyoos! Time with young minds, firefighters and seeing some growing indigenous businesses.

Highlight - getting tough (but fair) questions from students about water security & worries about the future.

.BC NDP announces Whistler councillor and former UBCM president Jen Ford as its candidate for West Vancouver-Sea to Sky.
With incumbent Jordan Sturdy retiring, many thought BC Green Jeremy Valeriote (who lost by only 60 votes in 2020) was the frontrunner. But this changes things.

Local govt, First Nations, conservation groups have called for “pull the plug” rules in BC - we listened.

Invasive species threaten our waters & economy. New rules will require ALL boaters visiting BC to pull the plug, clean, drain & dry their watercraft

#Indigenous Protected & Conserved Areas are more than just lines on a map: they protect places that matter most & support healthy lands, which builds healthy communities. They’re an expression of Nationhood, & we’re proud to support this work across Canada ilinationhood.ca/indigenous-pro…

Pick up and drop off shouldn't be harder than trigonometry. We're opening up more before- & after-school child care options on school grounds around BC. Parents, that means ONE pick up & drop-off location. This will hopefully make life a little bit easier for the whole family.

Northerners expect our representatives to speak on our behalfs. Ellis Ross and John Rustad - showing up to vote matters. When talking about reconciliation, human rights and path we can walk forward. The vote on Bill 25 has passed.

Huh?
