🏛️ Have never met Victoria but have tremendous respect for her principled stand against Sim & ABC Vancouver.

When the integrity commissioner was sidelined, a line was crossed on ethics, accountability & good governance.

Please work with
@nikisharma.bsky.social & strengthen the federal #IPV bill. It ignores the coercive, ongoing daily abuse police routinely misunderstand or dismiss.

One year since Surrey mom's death and still waiting for answers Vanessa Renteria Valencia, 37, was shot by police at her home in Cloverdale on Sept. 19, 2024

📣 Angela Marie MacDougall, ED of BWSS previously said the police statement "was effective in dehumanizing Vanessa in the eyes of the public, playing into well-worn narratives of refugees & newcomers & of women & of Black people & of Afro-Latinas."

The #16DaysOfActivism against #GenderBasedViolence may be over, but the work continues. We must keep advocating and raising awareness about this epidemic. This message I received truly touched my heart.

It’s really time for our government and communities to show more courage.

🚨 35 years later women are still experiencing violence at the hands of men & are being murdered at an alarming rate. It is one of 🇨🇦's greatest failures that police & our justice system fail to protect women. Living free from violence is a
human right & Canada has failed #EndMaleViolence ⚖️

Glad to see the BC Gov prioritizing public safety, but it isn’t just what we see on the streets. We must address #GenderBasedViolence—the most widespread, and often hidden.
