Here’s last night’s story about the rising prominence of extremist beliefs within the Republican Party, what it has to do with the upcoming elections, and why being 31 years old is one of the least cute ages you can possibly be. https://youtu.be/SnsBI4YxwIs

Personally I’m not blaming Eby for the fact that BC residents have no idea what the fascists are up to in this province. They are about to find out. #bcpoli #bcelxn This is what happens if you think that you can trust Musk and Zuckerberg to inform your political awareness . ☮️

Dear 🇨🇦 @cdnpress.bsky.social 🗳️⚖️ #bcpoli @emilylowan.bsky.social @elizabethemay.bsky.social @avilewis.ca @mark-carney.bsky.social ‘snap election’ not fault- it was FACEBOOK &X ban of #FreePress so: what #CONTENT influenced half of BC voters? #AnalyzeThat @lukelebrun.ca @emilienicolas.bsky.social

And I thought Missy was excited about the new doormat. Sometimes I forgive myself for using Amazon. They do make the best cat toys, after all.

Here in Rio, people are out on their balconies screaming “it’s a coup” as Bolsonaro takes the lead in the count

Deeply disheartening to see what appears to be a deliberate effort to suppress the votes. Hope they pay the consequences.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia’s strongman leader Aleksandar Vucic has conceded defeat to a student-led movement in a seismic political shift.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

My new MLA was suing the Party that he has now won a seat with and having just being elected Mayor he will now resign to work in Victoria and taxpayers will finance ANOTHER election.. 🤑 #bcpoli #bcelxn #BCcons 😈🗳️🤑 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

British Colombians failed an open book test simply because 11% decided they had better things to do. If you couldn’t be bothered to vote to have your voice heard, don’t you dare complaining for the next 20 yrs. Voter apathy will be the death of democracy someday.

“Doerkson was on his way home from SOUTH AFRICA last month when he learned his Conservative caucus colleagues wanted him to take over the party as interim leader.” ..”..he has promised to repeal B.C.’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People’s Act..” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

British Columbia’s election results are preliminary, but voter turnout is alarming. Just 48.06% counted so far, compared with 58.45% in 2024. Mail-in ballots are outstanding. Final count: Nov. 6–10. Official results: Nov. 18. Lord, help us. 🇨🇦 #BCElection2026 #BCPoli #SheShed

Dave Eby could have given diamonds to every citizen & he would be called ‘passive aggressive and needy’. There was no hope for @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social because of the online lies and hate spread by so called ‘conservatives’ in BC, who are in fact: right wing extremists. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Also important to note are the strict limits in Canada on election spending. Americans would find how little a campaign and 3rd parties can spend in a federal riding - usually between $130K and $150K, total. www.elections.ca/content.aspx... #cdnpoli #USpoli

Small-dollar donations to Republican candidates are just apocalyptic. Selected examples here. Our forecasting research found in-state individual contributions are a strong predictor of results. Way stronger than PAC spending! votehub.com/2026/10/24/2...

💯 We need electoral reform asap

I am once again telling you that our electoral system simply doesn’t reflect reality.

We’re not gonna get it from the BC cons that’s for sure We need 3 month elections in BC 1 month is not enough. You don’t get enough media scrutiny of the political parties and individual candidates. You hardly get any candidates debates and 1 leaders debate is not enough We need 3 months elections

This is a good book that I sit down and read from daily currently:

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

This is why @davidebybc.bsky.social was defeated ‘BC Cons’ did not engage the #FreePress Conservative voters ASSUMED they were being represented. They were deceived by extremists & ironically are the victims of a ‘CON’ game. LESSON of #bcelxn is: SOCIAL MEDIA s/b regulated. 🇨🇦⚖️ PS #AuditThat

FPTP strikes again, where 23% of the population get you a majority government because when only 48% bothered to vote and only 48% voted for the winning party, it still worked out. “Strong mandate” is a myth in #BCPoli

#bcpoli #cdnpoli If BC doesn’t demand #ElectoralReform after this collection of criminals and ideologues start destroying our economy, healthcare, and environment, then we deserve to suffer and stagnate in the swamp of corruption that the BC govt is about to be transformed into

#bcpoli #bcelxn #cdnpoli

Canadian news media got what they wanted: A right wing BC Cons majority government. Congratulations, we're fucked. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn #bcelection #vanpoli #SurreyBC

#ElectoralReform @bcgreens.bsky.social 💪🇨🇦🗳️ #bcpoli #bcelxn #cdnpoli

The #press 🇨🇦 has been SHIT in the #bcelxn #bcpoli The BC legislature is over-run with Extreme Far Right MLAs who BLOCK BUSINESS & then tell voters it’s the govt that failed. So Eby said ‘BC needs a majority govt or it doesn’t work. Vote for one or shut up’. FAFO. BC asked for this nightmare.

So he can be premier. There’s no way after this massive win, the cons will swap him out for someone else.

USA election 2024 convinced me the world would use Trump return to FLUSH OUT THE CRIMINALS✅ Congratulations on your ‘victory’ to so-called ‘BC Conservatives’ .. and all their climate-burning, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Indiginous, ANTI-CHOICE 👀 , hate-filled, Carney-hating $upporterz. 🖕 #bcpoli #cdnpoli

B.C. Green Party Leader Emily Lowan: "We are the only party equipped to stand against the Conservatives and what they stand for... Over the next four years our job is to be a voice for the many people who will be harmed by their policies"

#ElectoralReform #bcpoli #cdnpoli It is going to be getting horrifically worse before it gets close to being anything remotely improved. Expect : another election next year.

Don’t mean to be a DebbieDowner, Mr Doerksen, but I am counting on cashing in on bets I made that the BC Cons violated election laws all over the place #ConservativeCons #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Dear BC Voters… I know you were angry at the NDP, but voting for the Shoot-BC-in-the-Foot Party is as unforgivably stupid as @davidebybc.bsky.social calling the election in the first place. Enjoy your reduced services, higher instance, and racist, Trump-friendly government, you brainless assholes.

BC Greens leader Emily Lowan has won her bid for election in Saanich North and the Islands, a Vancouver Island riding. #BCPoli

Under the Westminster parliamentary system, there is absolutely no bar to Doerksen serving as premier. Leadership of his party is a completely different thing.

The uniformed B.C. con voter think Dorkson is going to be the premier if they win the election and he’s not even allowed to be the leader so they’ll chose a new one that nobody voted for . 😂 #BigSurpriseConsAreCorrupt

Gonna be a helluva ride to live with a government that can't keep a party together for more than 6 mos..crazy time!! Will they even agree on the official leader when they figure that out...ffs

“Aaron Gunn, the member from North Island – Powell River hasn’t risen a single time since we returned this fall,” he said. “Since the BC election I know he’s been out campaigning across the province instead of being in Ottawa..” #bcpoli #cdnpoli #ConservativeCons
