They put in a Stanford University study “The team found that…. Either permanent standard time or permanent daylight saving time would be healthier than our seasonal waffling, with permanent standard time benefitting the most people.” #permanentStandard #StandardTime #healthier did #BCGov read it?

Hands hold a B.C. driver’s licence in front of a laptop displaying the ICBC website. A banner across the bottom reads: “Renewing your driver’s licence and IDs online.” The scene suggests convenient online renewal from home.
Good news for drivers across B.C.! Proposed changes would make it possible to renew or replace your driver’s licence and ID online, saving time and reducing lineups for in-person ICBC visits. Especially helpful for rural areas.

Four women stand together on the steps of a government building. One holds an open naloxone kit toward the camera. To the right is BC Health Minister Hon. Josie Osborne. Several wear purple awareness ribbons and smile for the photo.
B.C. is taking steps to help save lives by expanding access to nasal naloxone across the province.
Making these life-saving kits more available in communities, pharmacies & public spaces means more people can respond quickly in an emergency.
Every life matters, & every moment counts.

Anyone still in #BCGov still on that place should not be trusted with your vote. It's been true for quite some time now, but some people are slow, or don't pay attention, or are trapped in sunk-cost fallacy
You have no constituents on X. And if you did, you don't want them.
First Nations leaders urge #BCgov to uphold the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act after recent court rulings, as "fear-based response" calling for amendments risks undoing hard-won progress on reconciliation. www.timescolonist.com/the-mix/bc-f... @ubcic.bsky.social #bcpoli #DRIPA
