Here is the email reply I received from Jim Pattison Group @saveonfoods.bsky.social, and my response to them. Note the phone number should you wish to call them to express your disapproval of their plan to sell a building to ICE for use as a detention centre. #CdnPoli #BCPoli
Hello Jennifer, Thank you for sharing your concerns. We are aware of online discussion regarding a U.S. property owned by Jim Pattison Developments. Pattison Food Group and its retail banners operate separately within the Jim Pattison Group and are not involved in real estate decisions made by Jim Pattison Developments. As always, at Save On Foods, our focus remains serving customers, supporting our teams, and contributing positively to our communities. Once again, thank you for taking the time to email, and for providing me with the opportunity to correspond with you directly. Feedback from valued customers such as yourself is greatly appreciated. Wishing you a wonderful day! If you have any further questions or concerns, please reply to this email or call us at 1(800) 242-9229. Thank you Thank you for replying. While the Food Group may not be directly involved in real-estate decisions, you can certainly pass on the message that a decision by the real-estate division to support ICE in any way, including selling ICE property to be used as a detention centre, will result in the Food Group losing my business and that of many other people I have spoken to and communicated with online. ICE has murdered people, terrorized whole cities, and arrested small children. The home page of your website states "We take pride in all we do. For over 60 years, The Jim Pattison Group has valued quality, integrity, and commitment." Will you really be proud of enabling a lawless paramilitary group to imprison toddlers? Is this what integrity looks like to the Pattison Group? Please do the right thing. Sincerely, Jennifer Stewart Victoria, BC

Canada sent so many dedicated young people into the hellfire of Kandahar to help the United States.
Now they ridicule us.
JD Vance says he is tired of our "sob stories".
Trump says they never needed us.
Never again, America, Never again.

Bob Rae on Doug Ford: "He's getting all agitated about [Chinese EVs] and not getting agitated enough about what his former buddy Donald is doing to the industry... the real challenge we're having is with the United States on cars it's not with China."

Canada thrives because we are Canadian.

A quotation from his speech is edited above: "CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES HAVE BUILT A REMARKABLE PARTNERSHIP, IN THE ECONOMY, IN SECURITY, AND IN RICH CULTURAL EXCHANGE. BUT CANADA DOESN'T 'LIVE BECAUSE OF THE UNITED STATES’. CANADA THRIVES BECAUSE WE ARE CANADIAN.”

The Mt. Milligan mine expansion means hundreds of good, family-supporting jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars into BC’s economy.

We’re going to keep that momentum going as we continue to advance major projects and make BC the economic engine of the new Canadian economy.

The BC CONs are just another bunch of recycled booted to the curb politicians that will be shredded at every turn when they are elected as leader of this band of misfits. The BC CON's aren't sure if they're Liberal, Reform, CON, Libertarian or MAGA. #bcpoli www.timescolonist.com/local-news/c...

BC has a real opening to fix how our votes translate into power.

A Citizens’ Assembly is on the table. What happens next depends on public pressure.

Join our webinar to learn how proportional representation can move from recommendation to reality.
Promotional graphic with a red to blue gradient background at the top fading into white and then orange at the bottom. Large black text at the top reads: “BC’s all party Democratic and Electoral Reform Committee has recommended a Citizens’ Assembly.” Below it, smaller black text reads: “What happens next matters.” Below that, bold black text reads: “Join this webinar on proportional representation and learn how citizens can turn this recommendation into action!” A teal banner across the image reads in white text: “Proportional Representation in BC” with a yellow label underneath reading: “Time for action!” Below the banner, black text on white background reads: “Wednesday January 7, 6 PM PST.” Three circular headshots appear in a row. The first shows Rob Botterell with the caption: “Rob Botterell. MLA, Saanich North and the Islands.” The second shows Shoni Field with the caption: “Shoni Field. Former Member of the BC Citizens’ Assembly.” The third shows Professor Dennis Pilon with the caption: “Professor Dennis Pilon. Electoral reform expert, York University.” At the bottom, over an orange gradient background, bold black text reads: “Register at fairvote.ca/webinars”.

"The waters of Hecate Strait can be extremely volatile and treacherous, with a rocky and heavily articulated coastline. These conditions greatly increase the risks of an oil spill. Due to these impediments, preventing damage from such a spill would be exceptionally difficult."

He claims to have the full support of Indigenous Peoples and to stay consistent with Canada's climate goals. Those are LIES.

Instead of MORE FOSSIL FUELS, we desperately need clean energy projects. act.gp/3XnO3HD

How many more years of Doug Ford must we endure until we all agree on proportional representation?
A bar chart in front of a close-up photo of a man in a suit. The chart compares vote percentage and seat percentage for one party in three Ontario provincial elections. In 2018, the party received about 41 percent of the vote and about 61 percent of the seats. In 2022, it received about 41 percent of the vote and about 67 percent of the seats. In 2025, it is projected to receive about 43 percent of the vote and about 65 percent of the seats. A highlighted caption reads: “With proportional representation, no party could hold majority power without earning majority support.” A banner at the bottom says learn more at fairvote.ca.

The BC CONservatives need a reminder that mill closures and job losses in BC forestry sector while they were in office were a disaster. The BC CON's lost 30,000 jobs and 70 mills closed. They really need to sit down and shut up. #bcpoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/201...
