I agree with you wholeheartedly. To phrase it a little differently; people need to provide a moment to show empathy, reflection, and assistance if possible. To let the event sink in. This gives the victims the acknowledgment and understanding they deserve, and makes the general public more deeply impassioned as a result.

Absolutely there needs to be political follow-up to dig to the root of the issue and take the necessary actions to prevent repeat cases.

I don’t think my (our) community should be put in this main list. But I’d like to mention it:

As an individual I want to express my condolences to everyone in Tumbler Ridge, and may the victims rest in peace. This is a national tragedy.

I hope the community is offered ongoing psychological care and that there is an immediate effort to mitigate physician shortages that they are already suffering.

To feel how I felt when I read the news this morning, I can’t even begin to imagine the grief, misery, anger, sadness, and whirlwind of emotions from those directly impacted.

There is a period of respect where politics on the matter should take a backseat, but I will say that the BC leadership and federal government should discuss what they have learned from this tragedy. I have no answers.

Right now, I just want to express my support to anyone who may be reading this that was affected. If anyone needs somebody to talk to privately, for any reason, please know I am here if you privately message me.

To add to this: pharmacists are able to prescribe medication of certain classes, for certain conditions, depending on the province. Here is a list with more details for anyone interested:

It's always a concern when travelling to another country. There's the decision between biometrics, passcode and/or burner. When travelling, always keep in mind that legality varies, and a country's compliance with their laws varies as well...

Prepare ahead of time, always.
