Light Spell Gavin Lynch 2026

Night night sweet dreamies Never feel you have to hide the hurt you carry Your feelings are not a weakness, nor are they something to be ashamed of They are simply part of being human, and even on your hardest days, you are no less worthy of love, kindness and understanding.

It would be nice if news headlines/reports stopped saying “BC Conservatives win first majority in a century” when the BC Liberals and Socreds won plenty of majorities and were, you know, conservative.

NDP supporters just stayed home.

If you hear a lot of screaming into the void tonight, it's just British Columbians who saw beyond the rhetoric and knew what was at stake being utterly dismayed that hate, ignorance and fear decided our election tonight. The next four years are going to be a shit show.

The Conservatives will end the night fairly close to the 900,000 or so votes they got in 2024. The NDP will go from just under 950,000 votes in 2024 to less than 700,000 this time. Turnout was down — but how much of it was demotivated 2017-2024 NDP voters who stayed home is a massive question.

BC NDP calling early election (2026)

Voting took 5 minutes from the moment i entered the polling station. Come on BC, let’s vote!

You can change this. Whatever riding you're in, if you're eligible to vote in BC, get out to the polling station tomorrow and do your part to keep the wackos in the Conservative party out of our government.

This 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻- listen to Charlie. He knows what is up. There are sooooo many far right candidates for the BC Conservative Party and we can’t allow them to run this province.

Think your vote doesn't matter? This is how close some races were during the last BC Provincial Election. Surrey-Guildford - 22 votes Kelowna Centre - 40 votes Courtenay-Comox - 93 votes Maple Ridge East - 97 votes Juan de Fuca-Malahat - 141 votes

Putting Danny and the separatist traitors on a plane with a one-way ticket to the most inhospitable part of the US, where they've always wanted to be, and never letting them return.

The numbers coming in from Alberta are wild. Traditionally conservative blue Calgary voted in numbers as high as 89% to support Canada. The separatist gang were crushed. Sucks to be you Danielle Smith and Pete Hoekstra.

Canadian cartoonists have a killer sense of humor . . . LOL

This was at my local Superstore the other day. $6 for 🇨🇦 strawberries, $3 for 🇺🇸. They’ve been wasting $ on 🇺🇸 NOBODY IS BUYING THEM, even with no other options.

Pet-loving Canadians! My Grandfather's Cat (a national pet charity) is a little short of their autumn goal to fund their pet pantry. Their pet pantry provides pet food to poor seniors and terminally ill humans, so that they can keep their pets longer. www.mygrandfatherscat.ca/petpantry?ss...

And when these political illiterates vote, their willful ignorance harms all of us.

Agreed

New game created by 19 🇨🇦 teenagers❕ Players can land in “Ice Detention” and pay $60 pardon fee to get out. They can even “buy” a Supreme Court Justice to overrule an opponent’s move. A portion of all sales go to their local food bank and they’ve created a “Build Canada Scholarship”

Goddamn, this point by @anandwrites.bsky.social really needed saying.
