One day we'll see articles saying things like does not taking ADHD medication increase the chance of your son or daughter or adult child instead self-medicating with booze, tobacco and illegal drugs to get the dopamine from them they'd otherwise get with ADHD medications? Children on Methylphenidate Less Likely to Abuse Drugs, Study. "Pre-teens who have been treated with methylphenidate may develop an aversion to abusable drugs, according to a team of researchers from Harvard Medical School.

@jasjohal.bsky.social given depending on who wins they might be the next BC premier?
If you do, please ask if they will continue #bcndp policy to deny access to ADHD diagnosis & treatment?
vs requiring ALL BC Doctors to have #MandatoryCMECoursesOnADHD, so we get less SUD, homelessness, and crime?
Thx to Premier David Eby's govt
77% of British Columbians now have a primary care provider. The BC Govt encourages anyone still looking for one to register on the Health Connect Registry

If the far right #MapleMaga culture warrior purity over electability bc cons win the leadership?
They'll move the party even further to the right & likely lose to #bcndp
I think you're right. IF the #bcndp have enough self preservation skills to boot out Surrender the base'ss issues to the BC conservative to depress base turnout David Eby with someone not as arrogant and weak, and more competent?
They'll have a chance. But with Eby? maybe not

Good. Thanks for being willing to ask David Eby to do what Mark Carney & Doug Ford did in Ontario but to low and moderate income appartments vs houses. Look forward to hearing his response.
We'll see how much #bcndp care about affordability for the many vs the rich few. #vanpoli #bcpoli

AI Overview The BC NDP government has provided billions in subsidies to the LNG industry, with projections showing LNG projects benefiting from CAD 3.93 billion in public support by 2030. Subsidies include royalty credits, tax exemptions, and infrastructure investments, such as $200 million to electrify the Cedar LNG project, alongside significant breaks for LNG Canada. BC Green Party BC Green Party +3 Key Details on BC LNG Subsidies: Total Support: BC LNG projects are on track to receive approximately $3.93 billion in public support by 2030. LNG Canada Phase 1: Set to receive at least $1.36 billion in government support by 2030, including breaks on carbon and provincial sales tax. Deep Well Royalty Program: A significant subsidy source, with credits (largely for fracked gas used in LNG) that grew to $3.1 billion in outstanding liability as of 2023. Cedar LNG Support: The province committed $200 million for electrical infrastructure for the Cedar LNG project. Increasing Support: Fossil fuel subsidies in BC, which often support LNG, more than doubled to over $1.3 billion in 2020-21 compared to previous years. Infrastructure & Regulatory Breaks: The BC Energy Regulator slashed fees for projects like Coastal GasLink (approx. $16 million in savings) and LNG Canada. The Narwhal The Narwhal +5 These incentives, often framed as promoting cleaner, electrified LNG, have faced criticism for supporting fossil fuel expansion. BC Green Party

We all get to be more like Stephen Lewis!
In fact, the world needs us to. Losing him and Catherine O'Hara so close together is a call for allllll of us to step up!
Here is why my contempt for celebrity PHO Dr. Bonnie Henry (& the gutless, gormless #BCNDP government officials who ignored common sense & hid behind her lab coat) will never subside.
DBH's willful denial of 'airborne' showed working people, the disabled & elderly how little their lives are valued.

I split the vote? Maybe the #BCNDP and the NDP candidate had something to do with it too? The BCNDP have failed it supporters on all levels - investment in health, housing & food while giving corporations the keys to the kingdon.
Congratulations to the North Okanagan Butcher Hub!
This newly opened, innovative facility is supporting local farmers, strengthening our food system, & creating good local jobs.
Huge thanks to everyone who made this happen and came out to celebrate.
