New #project 📢
In #Austria, there is a lack of empirical evidence on #violence against #olderpersons. This project will thus explore the feasibility of prevalence surveys in light of international experiences.

@jameswsthomson.com @katiederosa.bsky.social Is it possible for Randhawa and Rustad to be this disconnected from reality? Looking forward to the United Nation's Convention on the Rights of Older Persons. #Olderpersons are by far the most neglected demographic across Canada.
Now, what reason could a person living in a care home possibly have for not going across the street to vote? Hm? Can't imagine how that happens. 🤦
NEW - According to Randhawa’s Elections BC complaint, he says the riding was won through a “very sketchy mail in ballot operation conducted at Argyll Lodge in Surrey-Guildford.”
Rustad says there were 21 mail-in ballots from care home residents despite living across from a voting station #bcpoli
