Today, @jjhorgan sits in the BC Legislature as Premier for the last time. Here are some of our favourite moments. #bcpoli
"Sim said ... that it feels heartbreaking to have the vandalism take away a place where his family felt safe." Says hateful mayor @KenSimCity who delights in the daily street sweeps that take away any place where #Vancouver #unhoused people feel safe! cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
Yesterday's BC Election remains to close to call for several ridings and the overall balance of power, but I decided to do a quick land-vs-people vote animation anyway. (Cross-posting with one day delay from the other site where the air is cleaner and skies are bluer.)
While we wait for final #bcpoli election results, here’s something to consider 👇 Data guru @vb_jens rightly points out “land does not vote, people do” On the left, results by geographical riding On the right, ridings proportional to vote count
We woke up in a Province where half our gov't thinks my son is a drain on public school. Now we fight. #bcpoli #bced
For the next little while we are all going to hear a lot about Independents costing BCC a clear victory, instead of reflection that maybe many British Columbians are just not that extreme. Bad candidate vetting and not taking more BCU candidates was a factor. #bcelxn
BC politics is going to be wild to watch. It’s very clear that liberalism is dying and the left needs to embrace working-class politics. My hope is the BC Greens are no where near government so there isn’t a repeat of last time when their raison d’être became anti-worker.
I don’t care how the election turns out, it’s abhorrent to live in a province where ANYONE would vote for a man like this, let alone where he wins.
Sonia Furstenau's reddit AMA shows why I don't trust the BC Greens on housing. "But muh process!" is NIMBY 101. It's how every status quo warrior fights change. Anyone who listens to city council has heard it a million times! BC doesn't need "I support more housing BUT..."
NEW - The BC Health Coalition says the Conservative platform translates to spending health care cuts in real terms. The financials in the plan do not account for growing and aging population in order to maintain the same level of health care services. #bcpoli
St Michael’s in Victoria charges $25,480-$31,640 in tuition. How much is Rustad going to take from your local neighbourhood school so Chip Wilson’s and his millionaire pals can pay less to send their kids to elite private schools? #bced #bcpoli
John Rustad and his Conservative Party’s platform will strip funding and resources from public schools to subsidize elite private schools. 3/9
"We urge you to vote for David Eby and the B.C. NDP in this election," said [Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, Chief Don Tom and Chief Marilyn Slett]. "Voting for anyone else risks a win for John Rustad and the B.C. Conservatives." #bcpoli
Eby urges Green voters to 'stick together' with NDP to keep Conservatives from office dlvr.it/TFJX81
Orange tshirt allies & #FirstNation voters in #BCElxn2024 need to organize all family to vote @bcndp The last 2 Prov Govts have accomplished more substantive change in Reconciliation than any other Gov in Canadas history Fundamental change not just 1 off transactional…
projected to win with 99% certainty because many voters in this riding — living on Musqueam homelands in $5 million homes— only care about lowering taxes for themselves
Wow! This was the @Conservative_BC nominee Dallas Brodie in @Musqueam riding of Vancouver Quilchena. Question was how would you work with Musqueam. She spent her time clarifying remarks on how First Nations need to claim their ppl in Downtown Eastside. #BCPoli #CDNPoli @bcndp
BC Conservative voters! Why are you voting for a party that allows: -blatant racism -anti LGBTQ2SL+ -absurd conspiracy theories -anti science -and more At what point will you draw a line in the sand and say you morally can't vote for a party that supports the above? #bcpoli
If you ever need evidence of the deep-seated racism in Vancouver, look no further than the residents of Kits who think that the development of housing on Squamish land is being done vindictively, as revenge.
Here’s what Chip Wilson’s sign and home look like today.
