Long and insightful piece. NDP had 9 yrs of governing under its belt. An increasingly unpopular Premier made a bad call. "Calling a snap election was a risk. Waiting was a risk. A new leader was a risk...There’s no risk-free move. No sure things. You weigh the reward and you calculate the damage"

Really interesting, insightful analysis of David Eby's decision, the BC election and politics writ large from @jenniferhoward.bsky.social.

Amy Acton was 12 years old when she and her brother were removed from their home. After Acton testified in front of a grand jury and her stepfather was charged, Acton’s mother and stepfather fled the state. The woman remained married to the pedophile until his death in 2004. She has no credibility!

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

Mark Carney on what Elon Musk's throttling of Starlink means for Canada: "We do not want to be caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider that puts Canadians at risk or compromises our sovereignty, our ability to express our values and live our values."

There it is. Elon Musk admits it. β€œThat loophole was closed last week.” In a deranged post on X, Musk openly acknowledges that SpaceX recently restricted Ukraine’s ability to use Starlink.

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

A disturbing warning for early voters: If a machine changes your selection or won't accept your vote, don't assume it went through. Check the screen, get a poll worker, and keep checking until your choices are recorded correctly. Make sure your voice counts. Report errors to election officials now.

NEWS: Trump is refusing to allow his deposition in his lawsuit against the BBC to be videotaped and is seeking to delay his testimony until January 2027. In a new court filing, Trump cites the Iran war and other national security matters as reasons for postponing his previously scheduled deposition

NEW AD: β€œKen Paxton says I don't have his experience β€” and he's right. I’ve never been indicted for fraud. I’ve never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I’ve never been impeached by my own party. And I’ve never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.”

Ben Meiselas on Trump's bizarre fixation with other men's bodies: β€œI think this is homosexual disinhibition, like it's actually a form of disinhibition where he projects.” β€œHe'll talk about male senators' asses ... Senator Husted's ass particularly is something he talks about all the time.”

Trump stops talking and immediately starts dozing off
