“The system has failed Jarmanpreet twice. This Kelowna cab driver was stabbed and slashed late at night by a homeless man after an attempted robbery. Now, despite deep wounds, he’s been sent home from Kelowna General Hospital to wait for a surgical backlog to clear,” Gavin Dew said in the post.

In a subsequent post, he said, “Jarmanpreet was just doing his job when he became a victim of the violent disorder that is plaguing our business districts. His suffering is being prolonged by a collapsing healthcare system that can’t keep up. He needs urgent treatment - and we all need change.”
