Dear @Josie_Osborne & @Dave_Eby kindly share the “publicly released” health review findings that you/your government promised 18 months ago. We should have seen them in “early 2026.” #bcpoli #BCelxn2026 #britishcolumbia #bchealth #cdnhealth @bcndp @BCNursesUnion @DoctorsOfBC Still waiting to see the findings of the extensive & expensive health authority review. “The Province anticipates that the health authority review for @PHSAofBC & the regional health authorities, will be complete in early 2026. Its findings and recommended changes will be released publicly.” news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2025…

Congratulations @LDoerkson 20 years in BC healthcare. Please give leadership/control back to the health authorities and hospitals. Give doctors the ability to fund teams. Get rid of special authority and audit for abuse. Diagnostic accreditation is a BC pit of delayed care.

MAiD in Canada@MAiDCanada2016Jul 10
In 2 days a decision will be made on whether there will be an indefinite pause to MAiD for mental illness. The AMAD committee chose not to hear witnesses with lived experience but their voices need to be heard. Thank you to these individuals for sharing your story. ctvnews.ca/health/article/ca…

‘They’ve left me with nothing’: Why these Canadians with mental illness say they feel abandoned...

Betrayed. Dehumanized. Devastated. These are the words some Canadians use to describe how they feel about a special government committee recommending not to expand medical assistance in dying to...

We need a new position in B.C. — Minister of Health. Someone responsible for managing the health system and accountable for its performance. Very different from what we have now: Minister of Health Public Relations. timescolonist.com/opinion/co…

Comment: Good news in health care doesn’t tell whole story

Overall, the government does a tremendous job of message control, as failures stack up.

BC’s Health Authority Review began in March 2025 with @PHSAofBC & “Its findings & recommended changes will be released publicly,” in early 2026, said @Josie_Osbourne. It’s nearly July & we’re still waiting… please give us the report now. #phsa #publichealth #heatdome & #bcpoli

Beach water quality very high for many Vancouver Beaches already? 4600 ppm (23x recommended max.) for #ThirdBeach! Not great for anyone #FIFA visitors. Likely a sewage spill/boat IMHO. @VCHhealthcare & @MetroVancouver pls retest & post results asap! #vanpoli #swimming #vch

“Sea don’t” vs sea doo. Hoping the @ParkBoard votes to protect beaches, swimmers & wildlife from sea doo/jet skis & boats . No white swim buoys here. 311 complaints never answered. Forgotten beach of management. #vanpoli #parkboard parkboardmeetings.vancouver.… No replies ever.

@drpaulwinstonJun 1
In BC nearly all of the medical research money goes to the 25% of the population in one geographic location. I am told I am out of line for speaking up. Health Equity becomes virtue signalling when where you live determines if you can be researched.

The City of Vancouver has announced Kits Pool will be opening for the season mid-June. Why the delay? According to the city, the pool has "reached the end of its functional life," and is in a state of constant repair.
