🌎🔥 When Harmful Rhetoric Enters Public Office, We Must Speak Up 💪🦾
In British Columbia, we expect leaders to protect people, tell the truth, and work for the good of everyone.
But lately, I’ve seen someone in a position of power using fear, misinformation, and division as a political weapon — and I can’t stay silent. 😤🔥
I’m not naming names here.
This isn’t about boosting a politician’s ego or feeding their hunger for drama.
This is about the dangerous shift happening in our province — a shift we need to call out clearly and courageously. 🌊💙
🔥 When Leaders Use Fear as a Tool, Everyone Becomes a Target
- ❗ Misinformation about Indigenous history
- ❗ Hostile rhetoric blaming international students
- ❗ Exaggerated “crisis” narratives
- ❗ Attacks on activists and community voices
- ❗ Attempts to turn everyday people against one another
This is not leadership.
This is division for personal gain — a strategy to collect followers by stoking fear. 🚫🔥
🌍 International Students Are NOT the Enemy
They:
- study
- work
- volunteer
- rent homes
- pay taxes
- contribute to BC’s culture and economy
They’re here with dreams and goals — and they deserve respect, not political scapegoating.
Using these young people as punching bags is cruel and unacceptable. 😡💔
🧡 Indigenous Truth Must Be Honoured, Not Denied
Residential school survivors carry generational trauma.
Their stories should be listened to — not mocked, twisted, or minimized.
Truth and Reconciliation requires respect, not opportunistic denialism. ✊🧡
🌟 We Deserve Leaders Who Lift Us Up — Not Tear Us Down
BC is diverse, compassionate, and resilient.
Most people want fairness, justice, and community — not hatred and fear.
But when someone with a microphone chooses:
- 🔥 sensationalism
- 🔥 misinformation
- 🔥 fear-based messaging
…it poisons the climate for everyone.
It becomes easier for:
- newcomers to be blamed
- Indigenous voices to be dismissed
- activists to be threatened
- facts to be distorted
- cruelty to be normalized
And that is simply not okay. ❌💔
💪🦾 Speaking Up Is Not About Politics — It’s About Humanity
I’m writing this because silence helps harmful voices grow.
We don’t have to confront these people directly (and sometimes it’s safer not to).
But we can speak around them — with truth, compassion, and strength. 🌱💫
🌟 What We CAN Do
- 💬 Share factual information
- 📣 Amplify Indigenous and student voices
- 🏘 Strengthen our communities
- 🗳 Vote with awareness, not fear
- 🚫 Avoid feeding trolls with direct replies
- ❤️ Lead with empathy and courage
BC deserves leaders who build bridges — not walls.
Voices who heal — not harm.
People who tell the truth — not twist it. 🌉🌿
Together, we can keep this province strong, hopeful, and united.
This is our home, and we will protect it. 🌎🔥💪🦾
