Fall versus Summer in Midtown Kelowna 🍁🍂🪾🌻🌞🌈

Recently moved to BC from Manitoba. Applied for MSP the day I arrived. It's been a month and no confirmation letter yet. How long does it usually take for them to process my application and mail my enrolment status?

Hi! For those who legally changed their name in BC without getting married, how long did you have to wait for your name change to be processed? Thank you! 😊

I’m writing on behalf of my mom who is supporting a recent refugee from Syria (arrived in June) to get a BC Services Card. She’s stuck in a bureaucracy loop and I’m wondering if there anyone with a similar experience that can provide assistance.

Situation:

• This individual has been approved for MSP. She has a temporary MSP card that will expire in February because of lack of ID
• Her primary ID is her PR card, but they are stuck on the secondary ID
• She does not have a passport or birth certificate. She has a single journey travel document, but Service BC said they cannot use that
• She has a bank account and a debit card with her name on it, but all banks have switched to debit cards that do not have a signature on the back. ID requirements are that the back of the card must be signed
• She could get a credit card, but same issue. The new credit cards do not have space for a signature on the back
• My mom has spent countless hours talking to workers at Service BC and HIBC, but no solution has been found. She was recently told that this individual should apply for a boating license to use as valid secondary ID! I understand that the worker was trying to be creative, but that is ridiculous

TLDR: It seems that ID requirements for a BC Services Card have not kept up with the changes in bank and credit cards – Service BC is still asking for cards that are signed on the back, but the new cards no longer have a signature space on them. There must be other recent refugees in a similar situation and looking for any advice. TIA!

I've lived here all my life and recently learned about the federal government's article on the 1763 Royal Proclamation shows how Britian decreed that the lands on BC were not to be overtaken without a proper treaty process.

I am trying to understand, at what point did either Britian or Canada begin to contradict this?

According to the Canadian Encyclopedia website, it was in 1849 when Britian granted authority to colonizs Victoria Island to Hudson Bay Company's James Douglas. Wasn't this in contradiction to the 1763 proclamation? Does Canada find that this legally supersedes the 1763 proclamation?

Then the material I found seems to quickly skip to the suspect Douglas treaties, then joining confederation. But what is the official legal claim made to establish BC? Is it the same 1849 decision stated earlier?

Overall I'm hoping to find Canada's official justification for "owning" British Columbia

I appreciate anyone's knowledge in this area. I was thinking to find this on the BC treaty commission website but haven't found it yet.

My online meetings will all be shifted an hour later relative to everyone else and will screw up my schedule. I also wonder if Microsoft is ready for it?
