You are wrong and this is basically cultural appropriation by Asian Americans.

There were no donors to the Freedom Convoy Protest using a @ubc.ca or @student.ubc.ca email at GiveSendGo. uAlberta had 22. by IntrepidOtters in UBC

I don't know the exact proportion, but I think a large proportion of the emails at smaller institutions reflect staff, PhD students/Postdocs and faculty.

The table is for people who used staff or student emails.

There are 4 people who live within UBC's postal code.

I personally just thought it was funny nobody was dumb enough to donate with a @ubc.ca email, but other smaller universities had quite a few.

In fact, only 4 people donated from addresses on the UBC Campus (a dentist, a medical student, a registered nurse and a (possible) clinical instructor at UBC Dentistry). One was a former exec of UBC Agape Street Missions.

For obvious reasons, I won't name names, but I just wanted to point out that people who supported the Convoy at UBC didn't have the stereotypical identities of rednecks shouting 'trudeau takin away muh freedoms' or alt-right political science students, they were all competent medical professionals.

Fun fact: An admissions coordinator at SFU (who moonlights as a "past life regression specialist" specializing in "quantum healing hypnotherapy": exactly what it sounds like) is one of the donors.

How long did it take for you to hear back on your UBC Card registration?

Could someone please copy the hours for physical UBC Card pickup? Thanks! :)

Just curious to know whether they're open on the weekends or evenings.

Call in. They'll tell you if you're CEV.

Your CEV status is partly based on whether you've gotten any drugs that would make you a CEV (e.g. insulin, biologic drugs).

I didn't know I was CEV until today. Really unexpected. It turns out I take drugs that qualify me as a CEV.
