This is a link to Drea's interview with Gwen O’Mahoney about the hospital vending machines.

Former Fraser Valley NDP MLA to run for B.C. Conservatives in Nanaimo

The Nanaimo Bulletin is reporting that "Conservative Party of B.C. Leader John Rustad hails the recruitment of former NDP MLA Gwen O’Mahony as evidence of building a big-tent party. O’Mahony, who was the MLA for Chilliwack-Hope for just over year between April 2012 to April 2013, will be running in the newly created riding of Nanaimo-Lantzville."

“Most of you know me as the first New Democrat elected in that riding (Chilliwack-Hope), but today, I’m here to tell you that things have changed in this province,” she said. “The world has changed, the B.C. NDP has changed. O’Mahony who resigned her NDP membership yesterday, cited her former party’s position on decriminalization as one of her motivating factors.”

"O’Mahoney, who moderated a meeting of trans-exclusionary radical feminism activists in Nanaimo in the fall of 2023, also cited B.C.’s SOGI-123 policy. 'I’m very concerned about parents and…keeping them informed,' she said. '(I) have looked at some of the literature coming through the SOGI program and I was shocked at what I saw.' Rustad said workers and former NDP voters like O’Mahony are abandoning the NDP because they can’t afford life in British Columbia."

Premier asks for review of harm-reduction supply vending machines at hospitals

The Times Colonist is reporting that "Premier David Eby is asking for a review of vending machines such as those outside Vancouver Island hospitals which dispense condoms, needles, crack pipes, drug-testing strips, wound-care supplies and naloxone kits. Island Health began installing Care and Connection kiosks outside the emergency rooms of Victoria General Hospital, North Island Hospital in Campbell River, and Nanaimo Regional General Hospital last fall as part of a pilot project to reduce overdose deaths and infections."

"The vending machines, funded by the Mental Health and Addictions Ministry, cost $2,000 a month to lease and are stocked by the B.C. Centre for Disease Control. The three machines have since dispensed 1,100 harm reduction and disease prevention supplies. Those supplies came under fire Tuesday as ­enabling drug use instead of offering ­treat­ment, after former NDP MLA Gwen O’Mahoney, a ­Conservative candidate in ­Nanaimo-Lantzville, posted a video of the kiosk outside Nanaimo’s hospital. She has family members who have battled addiction."

Again we see no protection for kids from these predators - drugs, SOGI & MAPs are bad.
