You can see all kinds of goodies to raise awareness if you are in BC. I believe the bill has long arm jurisdiction for ‘sharing’ misinformation to someone government by the act. It also suggests that the power structure can make powers as they go and govern anyone with ‘an occupation’ when it’s in the ‘public’s interest’. Ok so anyone, anywhere and anytime. FOREIGN legislation you haven’t seen: the black box, ya that is also passed by virtue of this bill. Literally every Canadian should be afraid of this “LAW.”
Bill 36 - The Health Professions and Occupations Act, 2022
The petition to request that Bill 36 be repealed will be submitted to the BC legislature on May 4 by John Rustad, MLA (Conservative) for Nechako Lakes. He has 17,000+ original signatures!
Democracy’s dissent is squeaking out with brave MPs around the world. John Rustad is one such man and in the thick of BC imagine no less. Please share and sign the petition we have a day before it is presented. Also raise awareness about the bill and about this brave MP.
Independent BC MLA tables petition against Bill 36
By Reid Small Feb 10, 2023
"Bill 36 just takes control of healthcare away from frontline health practitioner and gives it to our minister of Health," says Dr. Kindy, a general practitioner in Campbell River.
"Muzzling healthcare workers is not the answer to our crisis nor is it making patients safer."
My readers know its much, much worse then that. Tip of the iceberg.

Justice Centre Expresses Concern about British Columbia’s Bill 36
POSTED ON: NOVEMBER 25, 2022COVID-19-NEWS-RELEASESNEWS RELEASES
“Victoria, BC: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms today issued the following statement expressing its concern about the proposed Bill 36, which is about to go through 3rd reading in the Provincial Legislature:
Bill 36 contains provisions, which if enacted, will permit the Health Minister to appoint College Boards who must unilaterally establish vaccination requirements on all health practitioners for any illness the government deems requires vaccination, and to impose proof of up-to-date vaccination status as a condition of licensing. College registrars would be empowered to dismiss any application for licensing or renewal of license that does not contain proof of vaccination without notice or without a regulatory hearing. The legislation contains provisions that would allow the College to discipline any dissenters; those who speak out against the College policies or who fail to comply, with loss of license. It further enables the College to make “without notice” applications to the court to obtain orders of compliance, orders for entry into premises to search, seize or copy property, orders to secure premises and prevent an owner from entry, to order fines for non-compliance of up to $200,000, as well as to order jail time for up to six months if a healthcare worker is deemed to have made a false or misleading statement.
The passage of Bill 36 would enable the Health Minister to impose a Covid vaccine as a condition of licensing on all health practitioners in the province.
This proposed legislation encroaches on the common-law and statutory authority of self-governing professions, granted by the Health Professions Act of BC to govern themselves in the public interest. Bill 36 represents a significant departure from the independence of self-governing bodies. Such independence is crucial to the proper functioning of these professions, and to the optimal functioning of a democratic society.
The legislation represents an end run around democratic checks and balances. If the Health Minister wants to strip people of their right to personal medical autonomy, he ought to be up front with the health practitioners of British Columbia, and up front with the BC Legislature. Any provisions imposing vaccination as a condition of licensing ought to be submitted to the legislature in session, studied and debated and subjected to amendment, as is lawful and constitutionally required in a nation which requires democratic involvement in laws. This is especially true for laws that would have so profound an effect as to strip professionals of their ability to practice in their field and to provide for their families, unless they submit their bodily autonomy to the state. In passing Bill 36 into law, the BC Government would create a further service shortage in the already struggling BC healthcare system. This is about more than just practitioners and the government: the public will be harmed if Bill 36 is enacted.
BC lawyer Charlene Le Beau states: “The enactment of Bill 36 would evidence a further erosion of the rights and freedoms our Charter is supposed to protect, particularly individual liberty. As Aristotle posited, ‘The basis of a democratic state is liberty.’”
erosions? THIS IS A SLIDE INTO HELL.

Was just talking with a close friend in Kelowna BC yesterday. His 90 something mother in law went in for a stroke. No beds, was in the hallway. Couple months ago, another close friend in London, ON told me there were no ambulances anywhere in the city, as admissions were slowed (no beds perhaps, but I don't know that for a fact)
Yes, socialized medicine SUUURE is compassionate, isn't it.
Oh yeah. And it's NOT free, Americans. Every hear of t-a-x-e-s?
When we moved to the US, my wife had a lump in her breast. From the time it was found, then biopsied, assayed, clean bill of health (thanfully) was 28 hours. A friend in Ottawa, identical risk factors and situation, at the same time, took her THREE FREAKING months to get care, report and clean bill of health.
IMAGINE IF BOTH HAD BEEN MALIGNANT, AND THE OTTAWA CASE HAD 3 MONTHS TO METASTASIZE? Yeah, real "compassionate" socialized medicine.
And if anyone reads this, and you are complaining about cost, get on health sharing plans (we use Liberty Health share). When I started consulting, COBRA was $1,000/month. Liberty was 1/3 of that! Plus, we had better care, literally
I slept thru jr high math class, but 1/3 of the price for better service? Even ***I*** can do that math.
