Most of BC's large man camps are in Northern BC. Look at this map of ventilators & ICU facilities. There are 9 ventilators in the whole of the Northern Health region. @jjhorgan @adriandix @drbonniehenry #bcpoli #covid19 #SiteC #CoastalGasLink #LNGCanada https://thetyee.ca/News/2020/04/02/COVID-BC-Hospitals-Mapped/
Tell us, Premier @JJHorgan, how keeping all these non-essential fossil fuel projects & this unnecessary dam project going is "essential" and isn't just risking the lives of workers, Northern residents & Indigenous people - in a vast region with only NINE ventilators? #bcpoli
Meanwhile, Ontario has just shut down *all* construction other than key projects like hospitals. Doug Ford can make the right decision, while John Horgan blithely plows on? That is not a good look for the NDP. https://twitter.com/suntooz/status/1246138109080854528 #bcpoli #SiteC

.."It seems we had to keep learning after the fact that cruise ship travel isn't essential after all. If we think perseverating in building the infrastructure for megaprojects that won't produce anything for many years is worth the excess risk to people in the North.." #bcpoli
