#BCPoli While Karen is introducing the candidates, my conflict of interest statement....
This election I'm @GordBaird_LJDF's Volunteer Coordinator. So obviously biased. However, for the first section I will be #livetweeting as accurately and fairly as possible.

#BCPoli #AllCandidates #LDJF Q1 Homelessness/Mental Health/addiction
Gord: Deeply intertwined. Homelessness causes alienation from society. Housing has become unattainable. Green party supports a means tested rental support. GLI would provide security so no one is left behind.

Kelly: These are seperate issues. Need to put those with mental health and brain issues into facilities with supports. Need to treat those with addiction that want to get better. Seperate from "enablers".

Mitzi for John: "His heart is here with his community"
Too many lives have been lost to this crisis. We're fortunate to have minister of Mental Health & Addictions. We were seeing a difference - 2019 OD down 30%

Tyson: Echo that these are seperate issues. Homelessness is not limited to those with mental health or addiction problems. Addiction has always been dangerous, but more true than ever due to toxic drug supply.

Tyson: Call to end (finger quotes) War on Drugs. Police are doing the wrong tasks. Defund police and move funding to mental health and disability supports. Housing should be a human right not a commodity.

#BCPoli #AllCandidates #LDJF Q2 Business/Econ Growth
Kelly: A small business owner like a million other BCians. 25% of smb might not survive next year. We need to do something. Gov needs to allow business to stimulate economy. Gov hiring is a liability. Remove PST for next year.

Kelly: If we lose small businesses, we lose the economy. Feds have been providing phenomenal support, but not all have made it and a lot of our 1 gig/pay cheque away. Province needs to step in. Been fighting for this already

Tyson: Despite efforts of ruling classes, capitalism is in a rocky straights. Canada has 262 per million deaths versus China's 3.4. Would end O&G subsidies. China has brought 800mn out of poverty in last 20 years.

Tyson: Eliminate taxes on <40k incomes. minimum wage 20/hr. End public funding of private and religious schools. Need full labour standards for domestic, ag, migratory workers. 100k housing plan would create jobs.
