1638721542724124672 | Advocates in BC are worried unable to get in touch with family in #Punjab and say the current events trigger inter-generational trauma. @cbcnewsbc @gurkeeratsingh @NeelamSahotaCEO @royalacademyorg https://t.co/mW45c0s4qd | 182 |
1639093461554012160 | I share my time with Bhai Amritpal Singh and talk about the current events taking place in Panjab right now with @ArrthyT from @cbcnewsbc https://t.co/YwoHiVjFSQ | 99 |
1639757988717113344 | At LGB Alliance Canada, we do not believe NHL players - or anyone else - should be forced to take part in Pride Night. In this house, we believe in the freedom to associate, or not associate. @nick_logan @cbcnewsbc https://t.co/Wr6ccbc9K9 | 51 |
1641521843315290112 | This week in "What lie will our PHO tell next?" Dr. Henry told @cbcnewsbc that Long Covid clinics are open & available to help patients suffering. Wrong. BC in-person clinics are closing, leaving people feeling hopeless & abandoned. | 30 |
1638469858122952704 | @cbcnewsbc Honest discussion about 🇨🇳’s FI is not racism & it doesn’t cause racism. It’s CCP’s meddling in 🇨🇦 causes the problem. Its racist card aims at inflaming racism, creating fear & resentments, & to provid cover for 🇨🇳FI. My community won’t be free until the culprits are found. | 25 |

1641132696880693248 | Some exciting and bittersweet news: Today is my last day at @TheTyee. My colleagues are incredible and I'm grateful to have contributed to their work growing independent media in Canada. Next week, I'm thrilled to start a new challenge on the digital team at @CBCNewsBC💫 | 15 |
1640582479139717120 | NEW: The head on a bust of Mohandas Gandhi at SFU's Burnaby campus has been removed. Not clear when it happened, who did it, or why. The bust dates back to 1969. @cbcnewsbc https://t.co/1RNOg8Xt3g | 11 |
1639162550507175936 | @cbcnewsbc Thanks for the information! The arrests of Sikh journalists have also started. Harsharan Kaur , is now also a target of Indian State oppression. @AIIndia #IndiaTargetingSikhWomen #PunjabUnderSiege https://t.co/kQWizVMY0l | 10 |

1640801356712939520 | Spent the morning at The Ismaili Centre Vancouver for a beautiful story about #Ramadan and charity for @cbcnewsbc (stay tuned tonight at 6&11PM on TV & YouTube), but I’d be lying if I didn’t say my heart feels so heavy for my community today. Prayers with our Lisbon Ismailis ❤️ https://t.co/ujyKTgxn2q | 96 |
1641306458552942597 | @cbcnewsbc Dear Cllrs @sarahkirby_yung @PeterMeiszner @LennyNanZhou @MikeKlassen @rebeccaleebligh: you see this? I know they endorsed your party but it seems a union that covers up a murder should probably face a more stern public rebuke than what VANDU or the Yarrow Society have received. | 58 |

1639673494572261376 | @cbcnewsbc I thought LGBT people just wanted to be left alone? Now they won’t be satisfied until everyone is forced to celebrate their ideology? No thanks. | 41 |
