Documenting the misdirection thank you @tryangregory.bsky.social #cdnpoli

"What exactly do you expect Carney to do / not do?" A thread of 50 specific items (with links, and not in any particular order), a large fraction of which are in line with warning signs we pointed out early on and were told to be quiet, wait and see, or trust his 4D chess acumen. 1/??

this is not a substantial change in B.C. government policy (one of the reasons the NDP failed to motivate its base in this election) #bcpoli

Uhm, what?! #bcPoli #bcElxn

It's not confirmed Aaron Gunn will run/be acclaimed BC Conservative leader—but it seems likely. It would explain the bizarre announcement from Doerkson that there would be no election night scrum. If this bait & switch happens, it calls the legitimacy of the BC election into question. #bcpoli

Agree! Whatever today's #bcElection results, it will be 100% on Premier Eby. For all our sakes, I sincerely hope he doesn't lose his (metaphorical) game of Russian roulette. Before heading to your voting place, please check the latest polls in your riding and vote accordingly. #bcElxn #bcPoli

Unfortunately the mood out there is change. The uninformed voter tends to vote against their best interests. The Conservative Party is a scourge, and Mr Eby has not given the electorate enough time to realize that after Findley left. With that being said, vote NDP.

Reading this #book right now, and she's quite right about the current mood In #Canada. Thank you @naomiaklein.bsky.social for continuing to distill and clarify these issues and fighting for the living world!

Think your vote doesn't matter? This is how close some races were during the last BC Provincial Election. Surrey-Guildford - 22 votes Kelowna Centre - 40 votes Courtenay-Comox - 93 votes Maple Ridge East - 97 votes Juan de Fuca-Malahat - 141 votes

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"

People of privilege will always risk their complete destruction rather than surrender any material part of their advantage, said John Kenneth Galbraith. Now, @johnvaillant.bsky.social says, it's clear that the fossil-fuel-dependent status quo is degrading global ecosystems and our quality of life...

Well whadaya know, they're still counting. I read that it's mostly urban votes being tallied now. Maybe the anti-immigrant stuff will also shift and they'll actually be reporting #noToTheNine by the end of the week. A girl can always dream. #ABPoli #ABReferendum #cdnPoli

WOW!!! In the last 5 minutes, all of Smith's constitutional questions have flipped over to the "no" side! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Overall, 60% of Canadians indicated they want to prioritize clean #energy compared to 18% who said the same of #fossilfuels. #cdnPoli #actOnClimate

Naheed Nenshi on the immigration questions: "I am happy to have a conversation on numbers. I am not happy to have a conversation on the dignity of newcomers, and I'm not happy to have people voting on whether other people should have human rights."

I am voting Green because I am fed up with pipelines, LNG and the many excuses given by the NDP and the Conservatives on why they are not fighting climate change in BC.

Hey BC, please consider voting GREEN. Let’s leave the boys to bicker amongst themselves and have a premier with integrity, smart people and planet based policies and solutions, and the knowledge to get it done @bcgreens.bsky.social @beanjammin.bsky.social

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Not hard for a progressive in BC to vote Green with Emily Lowan at the helm. And voting Green was not a problem for Chase BC or Vancouver over the weekend in their mayoral races. Change is in the air, but more importantly, people are seeing that good, ethical leadership matters.

Turning an election with 3 viable parties into a 2-party election will push us closer to divisive US-style politics. I implore you to consider this before casting your vote. Every vote you make is a financial donation to a party. Every third party MLA you elect is a step toward electoral reform.

This is what happens when the NDP is led by politicos with no deep progressive politics.

He's demonstrably not very good at this. One unforced error after another. #BCpoli #BCelxn #voteGreen
