This is it. Bold and decisive action on the right policies is what we need and want. We are more progressive generally. Be sure and assertive. Make the case to the people and show how investments pay off. Adapt and amend if necessary but don’t twist in the wind.

@thesaanichdaily.bsky.social let’s bury the hatchet. We agree on most things.

…/ tell the women in your life why you’re helping elect a govt that doesn’t want them to have choice and access to care. Tell Indigenous people why you don’t care about reconciliation. Tell your children why climate change is irrelevant. Tell poor people why they should keep suffering.

The only option on the ballot is who is going to win a first past the post election. As much as I hate it, pro-rep is NOT on the ballot. A vote to send Eby a message is a vote to put the B.C. Cons in a majority. That will deeply harm the most vulnerable people for years. Block the Cons.

That 'scare' should be strong enough before voting in THIS election. Vote splitting in the federal election would have put us into the hands of right wing politicians who were more than allied with Trump and his crew. British Columbians already know the dangers of a Con govt ... vote accordingly. 🙏

Eby was trying to gain a comfortable majority so that NDP could get more done as Government. It's not a "fault" to call an election when an Opposition is in total chaos & floundering between leaders. It WILL BE our fault - as voters - if we fail to recognize what awaits our province under Cons.

The only chance we have of ever getting electoral reform is to avoid a Cons majority that’s. Have to keep our powder dry this time.

We are going to reverse all of this to “teach Eby a lesson”.

Not voting for the progressive candidate in your riding who can win means a vote for the regressive Cons.

GC Stewart Phillip has endorsed Emily Lowan in Saanich North AND endorsed some NDP candidates. David Eby is done, as he will not get the big majority he seeks. Vote strategically. Campaign strategically. Hope for a minority NDP government (without Eby) requiring Green support. #bcpoli #yyj

You can say this is Eby’s fault . Hey he called the election. But WE vote and get to decide the outcome and have to own the fallout. #bcpoli

This means NDP supporters voting Green in about couple of key ridings to make sure they are there to hold the balance of power. AND Green supporters understanding that we get NO CHANCE of having influence if we don’t elect NDP on the south and mid Island and southern Interior. #bcgreens #bcpoli

I desperately want what the Greens are aspiring to. Sadly, voting Green in 10 - 12 ridings where NDP are just points shy of the Cons will mean never getting anywhere close. Cons will cancel SOGI, gut public health, cut social housing spending, maintain low taxes on rich, slash environmental regs../

It’s who they are.

@shannonrwatts.bsky.social This was raised over and over again but kept getting buried. Not an attack on you, but it was definite being shouted about.

www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/va... There’s no reason people shouldn’t show up on inauguration day to express their concerns.

Going over to Gander — the Canadian social media platform, not the beloved Newfoundland town. Come check me out. gander.social/profile/deej...

#projectmeridian should be the #1 story on everyone’s minds. This is truly terrifying. Putting Elon Musk, Newt Gingrich and Palmer Luckey in charge of determining the future of warfare… in 120 days. The risks are staggering, so is the conflict of interest. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The ACTUAL biggest threat to humanity is not AI, it’s the fucking irresponsible, lawless billionaires. If they can hurt children and get away with it, what is there to stop them?

We love our AirBNBs… except for the total lack of accountability and the poor treatment of employees... The story here outlines just one nightmare experience. Interested to hear others, and why we might want to curtail or regulate this “business” in #yyj. open.substack.com/pub/thewalru...

Please use #fyfp for Fuck Your Fascist Pancakes So we can track and trend! #abpoli #canpoli #yyjpoli

OMG. This applies 100% to the #yyjpoli cranks

Listening to the souped up hot rods and Hawgs ripping by the cruise ship area on Dallas Road… I wonder Why is no one talking about the micro penis epidemic in #yyj???

Okay, I’m going in and checking out the Canadian social media platform. Hopefully it’s a happy, maybe more apologetic space than the Badbook. #gandersocial @gandersocial.ca

In a hotel room in Prince George on a Sunday with no World Cup game. Watching “Cowboys and Aliens” on ShowCase because it’s literally the best thing on. Not gonna lie to you…. It’s very very bad.

Just a reminder #yyj #yyjpoli Come to Krista Loughton’s campaign kick-off on Tuesday June 23! I’ll be there, probably near the cake.

#yyj Council gets a well deserved (and very well articulated) shout-out! #yyjpoli @kristaloughton.bsky.social @mattdellvictoria.bsky.social @davethompsonvic.bsky.social @jeremycaradonnayyj.bsky.social @susankimyyj.bsky.social @victoria.ca open.substack.com/pub/bern99/p...

I heard cake!! Plus actual tangible action to deliver on progress for #yyj!

✨ Big news, Victoria! I am officially running for re-election to Victoria City Council, and throwing my hat in the ring for the CRD Board to tackle regional housing, homelessness & transit. Thanks to you, we fulfilled all the 2022 campaign promises my team made. Let’s keep moving forward! (1/3)

Great to see @kristaloughton.bsky.social making it official. I’ll be going— hope to see other #yyjpoli folks there… for progress, and CAKE! mailchi.mp/239e53982bdc...

Hey grumpy #yyj taxpayers, why don’t you demand that @victoria.ca Council make this kind of investment, and triple our dividends? www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Come on! @bluejays.com , @avalanche.bsky.social , and @nbacavs.bsky.social all go to extras?!! #sports bruh

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... My #1 takeaway is that the most important issue for BC Cons is who is the MOST anti-Indigenous. That’s pretty much all you need to know about these folks. @bcconservatives.bsky.social @bcpoliticat.bsky.social #yyjpoli

#snl has 15 minutes to work the WHCD into their show. How good are they??

Only nine years ago, #VictoriaBC Canada opened our first protected bike and roll lane (in photo). The City has been transformed in less than a decade, and new crosswalks and bike lanes are under construction in my neighborhood now. Choices, not excuses! #yyj

Anyone interested in #foodsovereignty and #reconcilation should take the time to watch this film about the amazing Tea Creek farm, and Indigenous-run organic farm in Gitxsan territory The film is screening here in #yyj, hosted by the Victoria Urban Food Table. www.tickettailor.com/events/story...

And can we point out that building density in cities protects existing INTACT forest ecosystems by delaying or preventing further suburban sprawl?

Elon Musk took over Twitter and turned it into the anti-woke, fascist-amplifying X. There’s been debate about whether to stay since he bought it. But seeing how it’s evolved and the recent Grok deepfake scandal, there’s no good argument to stay. I stopped posting there. You should too.

#yyj #yyjpoli

Okay #yyjpoli folks who want a DIFFERENT DEMOCRACY! @soniafurstenau.bsky.social is hosting and facilitating an interactive session on Citizens Assemblies, and how it can transform decision making. As a member of the recent Amalgamation assembly I can tell you it’s worth checking out! C U there!

Downtown is JUMPING tonight. From the brewery district across Harris Green to James Bay. Packed with happy locals and tourists of all ages. Had amazing dinner at The Endive followed by a lovely stroll along Government. My what a change from the 1980’s!!

Anyone putting faith in #ai or #elonmusk Anyone with a brain in their head should revolt. www.crave.ca/en/play/last...
