I totally agree with this as a person on disability benefits who can’t work at all we should be allowed to keep money from other sources that isn’t from work. Winning the lottery for everyone is a dream. As a disabled person to win the lottery means more than anyone knows as you finally get out of poverty and you don’t have to deal with all the stupid bureaucracy rules and regulations that come with PWD benefits.
Ravinder Kaur supported: Petition to End the Unfair Deduction of Unearned Income from BC PWD AssistanceAs Social work students, we are taught the importance of practicing self-care. Social work is a demanding and emotionally intense profession. Trying to maintain full-time hours, while not being paid, and having a job or family leaves no time for self-care. If an issue arises in one's life, this becomes even less likely. When dealing with a family issue and worrying about practicum hours, it becomes impossible to ensure you are taking care of yourself.

Youkhanna supported: إغلاق البارات والملاهي الليلية بين المناطق السكنية في عينكاوهAnkawa is not just a place. It is our soul. As sons and daughters of this sacred land, we carry its faith, history, and dignity in our hearts. But today, our beloved town is under threat. The actions changing our town’s face, erasing its Christian identity, placing immoral establishments near our churches wound us deeply. Ankawa is not for profit. It is not a playground for the powerful. We say NO to corruption. We say NO to the theft of our lands. We say NO to the moral decay being forced upon us. We say YES to our heritage. YES to justice. YES to preserving the soul of our home. Our silence has ended. The world will hear us. ✊🏼✝️🕊️ #SaveAnkawa

Handy supported: إغلاق البارات والملاهي الليلية بين المناطق السكنية في عينكاوه✝️✊🏼 My Message for Ankawa – Our Hometown, Our Rights ✊🏼✝️
As a proud son of Ankawa, I cannot stay silent while the identity of our peaceful, Christian town is being changed by force. The recent actions by the PDK—changing the demography, stealing our lands, and surrounding our churches and homes with nightclubs and harmful places—are unacceptable and deeply disrespectful to our values, traditions, and faith.
Ankawa is not for sale.
Ankawa is not a business deal.
Ankawa is a Christian town with history, spirit, and dignity.
I stand with my brothers and sisters in the peaceful demonstration to say:
NO to corruption.
NO to illegal land grabs.
NO to moral decay near our churches and homes.
YES to protecting the soul of Ankawa.
YES to justice for our people.
Let the world hear us. We will not be silent anymore.

Sarah supported: إغلاق البارات والملاهي الليلية بين المناطق السكنية في عينكاوه9 years clean from fentanyl, coke & Xanax. You cannot force a person into treatment. It doesn't work that way. The fact that someone thinks this will work is idiotic. There aren't enough facility beds available currently for the ones who need help now. How can you deal with more? Not only that but by forcing a person into treatment who isn't ready for it yet is just exposing the people who are there seriously to relapse from those forced people sneaking shit into the facility. I don't know where this idea came from but you need to do better. Do your research. You don't know anything about addicts to propose something like this.
Jordan supported: Stop Bill 53: Protect Rights, Demand Evidence-Based Care in AlbertaIm in recovery. Recovery gave me my life back, and I will be forever grateful to every Albertan who's taxes went towards giving me that gift.
I know first hand, recovery isn't something that can be forced. It's something you earn everyday.
This bill will kill people. This bill will discriminate against people. This bill will further traumatize an already traumatized demographic. The science says it will lead to more harm, and more deaths. The lawyers say it isn't an acceptable reason to strip people of their inherent human rights. The provinces own data doesn't even show their "recovery model" works. They don't report drug deaths the same way anymore, and accurate data is years behind. The last coroners report is from 2022. They are making up data to support this. They are handing out contracts to their friends to run the private treatment centers, many of which are christian 12 step organizations and not science and evidece based treatment.
They are taking people out of their homes, their lives, forcing them into months of detainment so they can charge the taxppayers and embezzlem money to their friends. They dont care about people who use drugs, are willing to strip them of dignity and risk their lives.
We know the answer. Preventative mental health supports, harm reduction, reducing stigma, improving access to trauma therapy, increasing minium wage, having affordable housing, having our first responders and police officers educated thoroughly in mental health and addictions first aid, offering drug testing so when people do use, they are able to ensure what they have isnt mixed with fentayl. An 18 year old on bc was at a college party, drinking with her friends and decided to try cocaine. A kid just starting out her life, just wanting a fun night with her friends. She didn't know there was fentanyl in it, and now a mother has to experience hell everyday for the rest of her life.
The opiod crisis is a drug poisoning crisis. Recovery doesnt solve that. An 18 year old kid partying for the first time doesnt need recovery. She needs to know the cocaine isnt poisoned, she needs to know what signs to look for if she or her friends need help. She needs to know the importance of telling 911 if drugs are involved so that they can respond properly. She needs to know how to use a narcan kit, and make sure if she is going to use drugs, that one is available. She needs to have access to mental health suports so that if something happens, she doesnt turn to drugs to cope with distress. The same things kids learn when they are taught about alcohol.
Our taxpayer money will actually make a difference if invested in things that actually help save lives.
This isn't one of them. This isn't compassion. This isn't helping.
It's an abuse of power to make friends of the premier and marshall smith very rich.
If anyone who reads this wants more information, or wants any evidence to back what ive said, or has anything to comment that I may not have considered, my email is janes.alyc@gmail.com and Im happy to have a civil conversation anytime.
Alaina supported: Stop Bill 53: Protect Rights, Demand Evidence-Based Care in AlbertaAs a Social Worker, I have worked with individuals struggling with addiction for 25+ years. Recovery works best when it's voluntary, supported and rooted in dignity, not coercion. Forced treatment violates human rights and often fails to address the root causes of addiction (i.e. trauma, housing, insecurity, mental health etc). We need more harm reduction services, community-based care and long-term support, NOT more control.
