Well that's a quick domino to fall: BC Ferries CEO Nicolas Jimenez is OUT. He was formerly appointed ICBC CEO in 2018, less than a year after the NDP took power. The board called it a "leadership transition" in an email, only mentioning Jimenez in the second last paragraph. which is very funny

Today, Emily Carr is an icon. But in 1913 the criticism of her first solo exhibition was so devastating she stopped painting. She couldn't even give her art away. That all changed in 1927 thanks to The Group of Seven. This is the story. 📸 RBCM 🧵 1/8

Performed my civic duty and voted! BC Municipal elections often have the lowest turnout, yet local decisions have the biggest impact on our daily lives. No candidate is perfect, but do your research and vote. Not voting is a disservice to those who fought for that right. Make your voice count!

800 health care workers have come here from the U.S. to look after patients, not insurance companies. I’ve committed to tripling our investment to bring even more, and to protecting our public health care system from American-style privatization. That’s how we build B.C. strong.

AI data centres use a lot of water. Here in B.C., we’re doing things differently. A BC NDP government will strictly regulate how much water data centres use and make them report it publicly. And if there’s ever a shortage, it won’t be farmers or communities that go without. It’ll be the data centre.

Ann Baldwin snapped this amazing photo while eating lunch on her patio in Oceanside, CA in 2020. "I heard the juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk calling from the nearby pine tree. Then I saw a small bird fly onto a branch very close to the hawk. I grabbed my camera and could hardly believe what I saw:

In an American branded coat. You truly are an idiot.

A province that builds its own future with its own hands is a province nobody can push around. That's why I'll bring in "Built in B.C. and Canada" rules for every public project we build. Together, we build B.C. strong.

This is awesome. Also, they’re Scouse, nae Scots…;)

Y’all have seen the viral short clip. Here’s the full original. The energy we need when somebody tries to push disinformation down our throats.

Even worse than I anticipated. Well done Mr. Premier. That was a mess. Fire analogy, brutal. Liquor? YOUR government allows its sales in B.C. Place!

@davidebybc.bsky.social ’m really hoping your blatant attempt to revive your career blows up in your face. This election has zero to do with ongoing problems with the Yanks, and I hope the voting public calls your bluff.

It would kind of hilarious if Christy Clark ran in Vancouver Point Grey and this election ended just like the one in 2013 where the incumbent government won re-election but the Premier lost their seat. #bcpoli = 🤡😂

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.
