Isn't it interesting that Doerkson has a political record, and yet, Canadian news media described him as an "unknown but likeable guy." If the below list had been discussed by news media, would NDP voters have stayed home, or would they have held their nose and voted? #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli

This. #cdnpoli #bcpoli

Good thing Canada doesn't have an Albertan PM who loves oil & gas and 8 conservative Premiers now... Sigh. #ClimateCrisis #cdnpoli #bcpoli #abpoli #saskpoli #onpoli #quebec #nspoli #pei #nfld

Let's check in on the Fascist States of America... The US is no longer the "leader of the free world" (they never were, but they sure loved to proclaim it). The US is now the leader of the fascist world. #Trump #Bolsonaro #fascism #Brasil #Lula #cdnpoli

Enough of these Americans destroying the lives of Canadian workers. Nationalize it. And while we're at it, do the same for all the closed lumber mills in BC. @mark-carney.bsky.social @avilewis.ca #Stelco #hamont #cdnpoli #onpoli #bcpoli

Left (Communist, Green): 26.15% Centrist (NDP): 29.33% Right (CentreBC, CanWest, Libertarian, BC Cons, OneBC, Christian Heritage, Freedom): 43.17% Independent/Unaffiliated: 1.35% #cdnpoli #bcpoli studentvote.ca/results/bc2026

NDP could've passed legislation to introduce proportional representation, but instead botched 3 referendums. 2018: 38.7% support for pro rep 2009: 39.1% 2005: 57.7% Even the 60% referendum threshold was wrong. After that 2005 defeat, people realized it would never pass by vote. #cdnpoli #bcpoli

Ironically, the most honest news publication in Canada today. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli

Cc British Columbia as another example of what's coming. FFS. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli

And it begins... BC electing BC Cons has emboldened the wingnuts. Just like in Alberta. Prepare yourselves for 4 years of this garbage. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanisland

The next 4 years of a right wing government in BC will haunt British Columbians for decades. Doerkson knows they will be voted out in 2030. That's why he said "We have to start, 4 years comes quick." They plan to do as much damage as they can before they're voted out. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli

Let's check in on the Fascist States of America... No, it's not just the US government that sucks. #AI #Google #Yahoo #cdnpoli

BC election is an example of First Past the Post failing us. Green: 196,880 votes. 2 seats. NDP: 670,602. 28 seats. CentreBC: 29,102. 0 seats. BC Cons: 862,317. 63 seats. OneBC: 27,154. 0 seats. Proportional representation: Green: 10 NDP: 35 CentreBC: 2 BC Cons: 45 OneBC: 1 #cdnpoli #bcpoli

22% of British Columbians voted for BC Con gov't. Other 78% of people now have a choice: Flight or fight. Flight: Move out of BC (MB, NB, abroad). Fight: Fight privatization, service cuts, environmental degradation, erosion of Indigenous rights. Which will you choose? #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli

This riding is an example of what's in store for BC. Diane Black, who won, is a rancher whose campaign slogan was "Born here. She speaks for us." Very anti-immigrant coded. This is also the riding where their former BC Con MLA claimed leftists would make them eat bugs. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli

I should post Carney calling out Musk for being a threat to Canada next to his tweet (ya know, on Musk's Twitter) about the BC election. Because pointing out hypocrisy is usually enjoyable. But not tonight. I'm in no mood for joy, tonight. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli

Scroll to bottom of comments and click "see hidden posts" to see how angry British Columbians are for what we're about to endure at the hands of a right wing gov't. Eby did some good as Premier - it'll all be erased by BC Cons, and much worse. You f'd us, Dave. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli

This. @emilylowan.bsky.social #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli #saanich #gulfislands

Leftist voters voted Green. Conservatives voted BC Cons. Many centrist voters didn't vote. They didn't want to vote for Eby again, would never vote right wing BC Cons, and didn't know CentreBC was an option because news media didn't give that party any coverage. And here we are. #cdnpoli #bcpoli

I'm not in a great mood tonight knowing I'm surrounded by idiots here in BC. So, maybe this is an overreaction by me... But WTAF are we doing, fellow Canadians? (it's not an overreaction) #cdnpoli #ClimateCrisis #bcpoli #vanpoli

BC Greens got 11% of the vote and only 2 seats. If we had proportional representation, Greens would have 10 seats in the BC legislature. Our electoral system in BC in must change. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli

BC journalist Shannon Waters blocked me for this post. She posted a factually incorrect post. I posted the correct information. And she blocked me for it. That is what we are dealing with. A proper journalist would correct herself and apologize for the misinformation. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli

Sanewashing BC Cons as "folksy," rather than a party of conspiracy theorists & bigots is a big reason they have a majority gov't tonight. BC Cons have denied climate change, talked of chem trails, trans kids, and the holocaust. This is who they are. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn #vanpoli #SurreyBC

That is factually incorrect, of course. BC Liberals were a progressive conservative party. Social Credit were a conservative party. BC Cons are the first party with the word "conservative" in their name to be elected in a century. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn

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

West Kelowna-Peachland voters are idiots. This is a riding immensely affected by wildfires caused by climate change. And they've elected a right wing BC Con. A party that denies climate change. Make it make sense. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn #bcelection #WestKelowna #PeachlandBC

Regardless of who wins tonight, we have a problem to address in Canada: News media are pushing a right wing agenda & undermining democracy. They sanewashed BC Cons, bashed NDP, didn't provide coverage to PC party CentreBC, and constantly called Green leader "young." A deliberate agenda. #cdnpoli

Before you vote, take 30 mins to read platforms of the 5 parties. Green: bcgreens.ca/our-plan/ NDP: www.bcndp.ca/plan CentreBC: www.centrebc.ca/platform/ BC Cons: conservativebc.ca/plan/ OneBC: 1bc.ca/priorities Democracy is worth 30 mins of your time. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn #vanpoli #SurreyBC

News media caused this. There are 5 major parties in BC election. News media only gave coverage to NDP & BC Cons. So, BC Cons felt emboldened to not show up to local debates, refuse interviews, etc. Wouldn't happen if CentreBC and OneBC received equal coverage. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn #SurreyBC

Great points in this video on regulation and protests. Telus tried this and public backlash caused them to cancel it. Now Rogers is trying it. What we need is fed gov't to step up and pass legislation that doesn't allow it. @mark-carney.bsky.social @avilewis.ca #cdnpoli youtu.be/Cp2r-KNa3wc?...

1. People on the street told CBC they're voting for multiple parties, and yet, CBC still tries to frame Surrey as 2 party battle. WTF 2. NDP promising a City Charter for Surrey is MASSIVE news. 3. Surrey is CentreBC's strongest area. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn #SurreyBC youtu.be/j7U17uTWstg?...

The right wing BC Cons economic plan is fantasy, using growth forecasts that are wildly optimistic. It also includes the cutting of the $2B contingency fund, which is used for healthcare and wildfire expenses. Idiotic. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn #SurreyBC #Okanagan www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Good read here on BC's south coast ridings where Green party is favoured or challenging to win. The article doesn't discuss interior BC, though, where the Greens are also leading/challenging in several ridings, including in Terrace and Nelson. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...

Here in BC, news media have been sanewashing the right wing BC Cons, whose candidates spout the same conspiracy theory whackadoodlery. Smith wouldn't be Alberta Premier if not for terrible news media. BC Cons would be laughed out of BC if not for terrible news media. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn

If you needed a reminder that BC Cons are Maple MAGA... And just like in the US, news media here in BC will still give right wing BC Cons all the news coverage. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn #SurreyBC #LangleyBC #Abbotsford #Chilliwack www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

The framing here of NDP vs BC Cons, again, is so stupid. Every region of BC has different battles. The only area where it's NDP v BC Cons is maybe in Kamloops. S Van Island: Green v NDP Metro Van: NDP v CentreBC v Green Fraser Valley: CentreBC v BC Cons v NDP Etc #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn

This is good news for Canadian trade to Europe, Africa, and Latin America. #cdnpoli #nbpoli youtu.be/ytavfZI3GPg?...

Great performance by Hamilton's Forge FC in winning the Canadian Championship last night. This is the first time a Canadian Premier League team has prevailed over Canada's MLS teams in our national Cup tournament. 👏 #CanChamp #cdnpoli #CanPL #ForgeFC #hamont youtu.be/-b9TkPmMl_8?...

The people interviewed for this article are going to be surprised how well the Green party does in BC's election on Saturday. I was talking to a friend in northwest BC (in LNG project territory) recently and everyone they know is voting Green. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Let's check in on the Fascist States of America... It would be a shame if Canadians ridiculed the US regime for this. And we definitely should not tell Americans to vote for Democrats. Definitely don't do that, guys. #BlueWave #Trump #fascism #cdnpoli #Seattle #PDX #SFBay #LA #SanD #Vegas

This is an important video that highlights policy vs politics. What isn't directly said is right wing parties (BC Cons and federal Cons) spread misinformation and British Columbians fell for it. Eby then chickened out. Shame on everyone. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn #vanpoli youtu.be/PjE0rEib-mo?...

Province-wide polling is trash. 1. That other 7% is mostly CentreBC and concentrated in Lower Mainland, where they are favourites in a bunch of ridings. 2. Likewise for Green, most of their vote is likely concentrated in 10-15 ridings, where they are favourites. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn

Albertans are never going to beat the racist redneck allegations... Voting yes on those 9 questions is so gross. The 30-40% who voted "no" to that racist sh*t should seriously consider leaving Alberta. That province is too far gone. #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #yeg #yyc results.elections.ab.ca/8400

This is a key takeaway from Alberta. Here in BC, we've had news media giving extensive coverage to the right wing BC Cons while ignoring the less controversial progressive conservative CentreBC. Canadian media now runs on rage politics. It's disgusting. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn #yeg #yyc #CBC
