Dear all:
Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, B.C. has witnessed a dramatic spike in hate incidents, leaving indelible marks across our communities. While we cannot be surprised by the rise of hate in this pandemic or in future states of crisis, hate is not inevitable. So, what can we do about it?
Following an 18-month investigation, the Inquiry into hate in the pandemic by BC’s Office of the Human Rights Commissioner has produced a mountain of evidence showing that hate incidents, particularly gender-based violence and online hate, have surged. We must confront what we have experienced during the pandemic and take action now to prevent it from happening again.
To learn more about Inquiry’s findings and the 12 recommendations for change, we encourage you to read the report here: bchumanrights.ca/Inquiry-Into-Hate
All of us, as individuals who make up our communities and our province, have an obligation to understand and confront hate in our communities. We are not powerless in the face of hate. We have an obligation to educate ourselves, including by reviewing this report with a focus on the experiences of those who have been subjected to hate.
Thank...

BC Budget 2023 Update

Paov --
On Tuesday the province tabled the 2023 budget which includes significant investments in health care. These investments will go a long way in reducing the barriers patients face in accessing primary care and in addressing the burnout and lack of resources that health care workers are facing. The budget is an indication that the government recognizes the challenges in our health care system.
In 2022, the BC Health Coalition presented a submission to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services in the BC Legislature. In our presentation, we recommended that the government consider making critical investments in the following areas for the 2023 budget:
- Hold private operators of long-term care homes accountable for the funding they receive and ensure all new capital investments are publicly or not-for-profit operated.
- Improve access to publicly funded home support by eliminating current regulated daily rate co-payments and by addressing the staffing crisis with higher wages and guaranteed hours of work.
- Address the primary...

the
BC Health Coalition
UPDATE
B.C. isn’t a poster child for privatized health care
During the Throne Speech on February
6, 2023, B.C. Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin stated, “Some
jurisdictions are pushing for more privatization, allowing the
wealthiest to buy their way to the front of the line. Make no mistake,
that doesn't fix the line. It would only lead to more costs and longer
lines for the rest of us.” Premier Eby has indicated that his government will be looking to use
public models to increase health care system capacity rather than
expanding the use of for-profit clinics. That is good news if Eby’s
government follows through. If
it does, then B.C. can show the...

Cafe Simpatico
February 24, 7PM (doors open) 7:30 (presentation) Paul Phillips Hall, 1923 Fernwood Road (across from the Belfry Theatre)
Peru: Constitutional Crisis and Social Explosion Peru’s right-dominated Congress impeached and arrested the country’s leftist indigenous President Pedro Castillo on December 7, 2022 after more than a year of systematically blocking his attempts to govern. What started as a constitutional crisis quickly became a social explosion as Peru’s indigenous and popular classes reacted furiously, blocking roads and airports across the country, converging on Lima to demand Congress’ dissolution, the interim President’s resignation, new elections and a constituent assembly. More than a defense of Castillo, this uprising is about his constituency’s ongoing political exclusion and the failures of neoliberalism in Peru.
Join us for a talk and discussion with noted anthropologist, author and activist, Peter Gose. Everyone is welcome!
Refreshments and Fair Trade Nicaraguan coffee. Donations gratefully accepted. Come see old friends and familiar faces as Cafe Simpatico resumes in person at the FCA Paul Phillips Hall.
