looks like this BC election had the most dismal turnout in provincial history — preliminary results are around 48%, compared to the last low of 54% in 2020. elections.bc.ca/resources/re...

As memory services this is the second time that this property has caught fire. Property owned by the bizarre Robin Kimpton.. This should be a case where city councillor considers expropriation. #yyj #bcpoli www.timescolonist.com/local-news/f...

Photo from Reddit. White nationalists just outside the BC Legislature this morning after a BC Cons supermajority. This group is Loyalist Pioneers, a white nationalist organization virtually identical to Second Sons. They've been active around Victoria for about a year & a half.

Only 48% of BC voters supported the BC Conservatives, yet the voting system has handed Lorne Doerkson's Conservatives 69% of the seats and 100% of the power. READ MORE: www.fairvote.ca/25/10/2026/b... JOIN THE CAMPAIGN FOR PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION: secure.fairvote.ca/en/action/de...

interested to see what emily lowan’s voice will add to the legislature though, she’s a real bright spot in bc and canadian politics

hate to see the bc conservatives win, but also david eby got exactly what he deserved for taking such a cynical and opportunistic move when he had two years left on his majority government

Ok this is ridiculous. He's their third lead in 6 months, they have not been a successful opposite, they have been in complete disarray since they got into office, how could this happen? What a lack of public confidence this speaks of #bcpoli

BC, LOCK IN AND VOTE! POLLS OPEN UNTIL 8PM TODAY!!!!

This Saturday, October 24th - Vote for the party with a plan 22 billion times better than the competition (yes conservatives that's you too). #bcvotes #bcgreens #bcpoli #wealthtax

We thank @emilylowan.bsky.social for continuing to raise proportional representation on the campaign trail. B.C. voters deserve a system that gives every vote real power. thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...

"Queer Momentum took to social media to warn that B.C. Conservatives could introduce anti-transgender legislation similar to that in Alberta or Saskatchewan." #bcpoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...

Hey @bcnewdemocrats.bsky.social you can steal this idea from the @bcgreens.bsky.social and doctors won't hate you. #bcpoli

Thank you, @stephanieformayor.bsky.social 💚❤️

There’s a #yyj police board meeting at 5:00 pm. Will follow along here. This thread also includes hot takes on the police board’s reduced budget transparency. Agenda: www.vicpd.ca/Police%20Boa... Stream: www.youtube.com/@victoriaesq... #vicpdboard

Thank you, David! @davidsuzukifdn.bsky.social

⚡Elizabeth May endorses Emily Lowan & the BC Greens! Join her in electing Emily and BC Green candidates this week.🗳️Advance voting is open now until Wednesday, Oct. 21. 📅 Election day is Saturday, Oct. 24. Believe in Better. Vote Green!💚

Vancouver made history last night. Pete Fry is now the first Green mayor of a major Canadian city! Pete ran on making Vancouver a city people can actually afford and putting affordability first in every decision - the same fight BC Greens are bringing across the province. bcgreens.ca/vote 🗳️

In asking people not to elect Greens, Eby is hoping to remove the only incentive he has to stop moving to the right. History teaches us centrism opens the door to fascism. The systemic change we desperately need will never come while leaders hold voters hostage under first past the post.

Pete Fry, what a night! 🌿 Vancouver chose a mayor who’ll fight for renters, affordable homes, and a city that works for the people who keep it running. Congrats to you and all the progressives who took council by storm!

More goodies out on the street in the neighbourhood. Evict Ken Sim (Vancouver's cop bootlicking, poor bashing mayor who's trying to get re-elected). #EvictKenSim #vanpoli

Vancouver is a left wing/Green blowout - not even close - Ken Sim and ABC got slammed And this is a huge boost to Emily Lowan and BC Greens in the provincial election True upset #Vancouver #VANpoli #BCpoli

Now that Ken Sim has been evicted by Pete Fry and Vancouver voters, he can now go back to his true love, being a crypto influencer. #Vanpoli

Thank you @svendrobinson.bsky.social! 💚

Predictable. And expect more of this to take a bit of wind out of Conservative sails.

Thank you, @tzeporah.bsky.social ! 💚 Environmentalist Tzeporah Berman campaigned for David Eby in 2024. Now she's endorsing Emily Lowan and the BC Greens. Listen to why and on Oct 16-21, 24th join her and people across the province in voting green!

Here’s what you missed at last nights debate….

Proud that @emilylowan.bsky.social leaders' debate clips are being shared among the "kid"'s not very political friend group w comments like "this is important" "we need to vote" ✅ Breaking through! A reminder to NDP fearmongers that many Green voters wouldn't vote at all without a Green option.

How is this even a debate? "Yknow, I've grown accustomed to impoverished living... And I like the way these lulu pants feel." #bcpoli

"With ducktape and threats! " Worked for the last two lead... Oh wait. #bcpoli

Truth. It's belittling to us all.

God's sakes people, vote green. #bcpoli

Thank you, Ross! @nerdyaboutnature.bsky.social ⚡

Thank you, @soniafurstenau.bsky.social ! 💚

Thank you, Adam! 💚

Great column from @acoyne.bsky.social on how first-past-the-post threatens unity. First-past-the-post turns provinces into one-party monoliths that can be in opposition to Ottawa for decades. Proportional representation breaks this cycle. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

SHAME!! Absolute waste of taxpayer money. Where are the Conservatives yapping about fiscal res now?!?!

NEW: We got consent from 7 unhoused people sheltering along Pandora Ave to hide Apple AirTags in their possessions. This is after years of City of Victoria denying allegations from unhoused ppl & witnesses who said bylaw don't follow their own policies. Now we have proof. Part 1 of 2 stories ⬇️

What about when they're doing Nazi stuff and saying Nazi stuff and dressing like Nazis and believing the same things as Nazis and talking positively about the Nazis and

Electable: Supporting hate rallies ✅ The Real Problem: Opposing hate rallies ❌ Electable: "Fuck Trudeau" ✅ The Real Problem: "Fuck fascists" ❌ Super normal municipal election discourse on Facebook. Anyway, vote for me for District of North Van council on Oct 17.

I've been saying this for the last decade. Glad to see Victoria finally exploring it. Want fewer people on the streets during the day? Give them somewhere safe to go, with access to healthcare, detox, treatment, recovery and housing supports. www.timescolonist.com/local-news/v...

Today the Premier revealed his environmental platform: re-announcing a marine plan signed two years ago, a land target from 2023 and a data centre power cap that’s already in force. What he didn’t say, is that his own government admits B.C. will miss its climate targets.

A reminder that due to an intervention by Pope Francis the Catholic catechism officially teaches the death penalty is wrong, full stop. Unsurprising but nice to see Pope Leo reiterate this, especially as a pope born in the US.

Thinking about how it feels covering a municipal and a provincial election at the same time and I think it feels like this?

What are the parties promising when it comes to fixing Vancouver's broken pools and crumbling community centres? If you care about parks and rec, this super comprehensive #vanpoli story by @kehyslop.bsky.social is a must-read this election season thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...
