BC Greens got 11% of the vote and only 2 seats. If we had proportional representation, Greens would have 10 seats in the BC legislature. Our electoral system in BC in must change. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli

Whitecaps disappointment aside, on plus side, I managed to do something David Eby was unable to do tonight - put together a new cabinet! He's a fucking idiot. As I said on podcast, feel for Axel having to deal with him. Hopefully will be good for the Whitecaps stadium situation.

Had to watch Whitecaps on delay. Wish it had been delayed further! That was such a terrible performance. Offensively inept. If it wasn't for Taka that could have been a hammering. Colorado were miles better. Had perfect gameplan from the start. Aggressive, pressing. Perfect.

Big game for the Whitecaps tonight in Colorado. If you haven't listened to our latest podcast, it's the ideal pregame listen! We also look at what impact the municipal elections might have on #VWFC and BC's other pro clubs, while Zach chats with Vanni Sartini about his first CPL season.

Montréal got there on the back of an egregious PK call against Sam. They got what they deserved. Great for CPL. Now, gimme some CPL expansion!

Well done Forge! History makers. Delighted for Bobby Smyrniotis in particular. #CanChamp

Montreal tie it up against Forge then Brayan Vera embarrassingly dives trying to win a penalty for them. Clear simulation. And a second yellow! Sent off and throws a hissy fit on the bench. Absolute prick! Come on Forge. #CanChamp

1-0 Forge in #CanChamp final. Deep in first half stoppage time. Get in! Montreal get relegated if they lose this right?

Now off injured before half time!

Lucas Cavallini doing Lucas Cavallini things in #CanChamp final. Booked for an elbow to head. Montreal used video review but stayed just a yellow. Lucky lad. At the very least a strong orange!

It's Seniors Night at UBC. They grow up so fast!

Loonacy! St Louis' streak is over as Minnesota United come back from two down at half time to win 3-2. Former Whitecap AZ started things off too in the comeback. Great result for the Whitecaps. Now go get it done in Austin! #VWFC

📬 Douglas College has suspended their men's soccer program for the remainder of the 2026 season, effective immediately. Includes all training and meetings. The decision came after a mass brawl in stoppage time against Capilano on Oct 4th. SIX Douglas players were sent off! One Cap player sent off.

Your proverbial game of two halves. Felt like LAFC game. Strong first half for #VWFC, looked tired and lacking any real attacking threat in second or on bench. Would have taken point going into the game, but disappointing to just get one after those first 15 minutes. #STLvVAN

Excellent 1st half performance from #VWFC. Just missing a goal or two. Hopefully they don't rue that come full time. Great intensity from start. St Louis looked devoid of ideas, but we know how dangerous they are and that can change in a moment. Should be a cracking 2nd half.

Counting down the hours till tonight's big St Louis vs Whitecaps match, partly with excitement, partly with trepidation. The latest AFTN podcast is the ideal pregame listen as we look at the gritty draw with LAFC and what lies ahead for #VWFC. Listen below and where you get podcasts.

Hey Whitecaps STHs, If you sold tickets this year, be aware that the Caps system does not automatically apply your ticket sale credits to reduce your STH fees. It has to be done manually. So be sure to remind your account manager that you have the credit and want it applied. #VWFC #Whitecaps

Tomorrow's #STLvVAN game is massive in terms of playoff positioning and home field advantage. Will 10-man #VWFC's draw at LAFC be the impetus they needed to reignite their campaign. We pick over the main talking points coming out of that match and more in the latest podcast.🎧 👇

A good point after playing with 10 men for 84 minutes, even if disappointing to have conceded softly right after half time. Great yellow for Laborda to take in stoppage time. Thought him, Ocampo, Takaoka, and Larraz were all excellent tonight. No idea how only 4 minutes added, but not complaining!

Some #LAFCvVAN 1st half thoughts: - The kind of backs against the wall performance that ignites a team down the stretch - playing with 10 men actually suits them and is giving them more space - lovely goal from Larraz. He needed that - ♥️Ocampo. What a difference with him in side

There's good, bad, and ugly Whitecaps chat in the latest podcast. Give it a listen!

That was a terrible first half from the 'Caps. Devoid of ideas and any real attacking threat. Constantly cut open at the back for the first half of it too. Somehow though, they're only going in one down with all still to play for. They can defo turn this around. #CHIvVAN #VWFC

THE MAGIC OF THE US OPEN CUP

That pitch is an absolute disgrace #CHIvVAN

📬 INBOX: Jeevan Badwal and Ralph Priso are being called up to the #CanMNT for the three games in the upcoming international window. Great for both of them, not so great for the Whitecaps. They play DC and Chicago in this window and will be missing these two and others. #VWFC

Report and Reaction: Whitecaps punished for defensive lapses as they blow chance to extend lead at top of MLS West with Austin loss Three points from a possible nine at home this month is not championship material. #VWFC need to quickly find consistency aftn.ca/report-and-r...

Not a foul on Jeevan apparently. Is Victor Rivas the new Tim Ford? Discuss! But just to make it clear, that's not why we lost btw. That was primarily down to some horrible defending and woeful finishing. 📸 @residualimage.bsky.social #VANvATX #VWFC

Lovely positioning by @residualimage.bsky.social for Brian White's equaliser against Austin. Shame it didn't stay level for long. #VANvATX #VWFC #MLS
