The B.C. election shows you need to give people a reason to vote for you beyond the Conservatives are horrible (and they are) especially when you are calling an unnecessary election.

An orange sunset, not a blue wave.

Taking this at face value, it looks like the NDP essentially lost a quarter million voters, not to the Conservatives, but to general cynicism and not voting?

fact check: true

One Chart That Explains The 2026 B.C. Election

THERE IS NO OPEN BORDERS PACT WITH THE EU! This is such disingenuous bullshit. #QP

CDC Deputy Director Dr. Jennifer Shuford is leaving after 6 months in the position. One person said it’s a family issue. Another said it’s because she disagrees with RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine actions. My guess is that something terrible prompted this and we’ll find out what after the election.

He’s a racist and a eugenicist, and he’s in charge of US public health.

Conservatives are raising a moral panic about immigration from the EU. FFS #QP

Mark Carney on abolishing the Indian Act: "The federal government will start a process with First Nations, with provinces to review options for it. And it's a process. It's not a process with a fixed conclusion, but it's a process to evolve from there."

It’s constant “national credit card” questions today. #QP

They refused to vote strategically to save the things they say they care about. They didn't appreciate having 2.4 MN hectares of old growth under a moratorium. That will now be logged so fast it will make their heads spin. I have seen this rodeo before. The logs will be shipped raw overseas.

The thief

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

For every moron that voted conservative in BC today you deserve every rotten thing they will do to you & your community. Within 18 months the separatists will descend & you can feel the divide like Alberta has. No pride flags allowed. Some book banning. Oversight in municipalities. Lies daily. Enjoy

A damned fine question.

Classy 🙄 TnT www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Imagine invading a country to erase its identity. And accidentally making its flag famous worldwide. Hello from Ukraine🇺🇦 #ukraine #ukrainians #war #ukrainian #ukrainiangirl

Crazy that BC voters couldn’t learn from the Conservative chaos next door in Alberta. Low voter turnout opened the door for right wing extremism. Next stop blaming immigrants for every problem and destroy world class cycling infrastructure to appease the wealthy motonormative elites.

If the RCMP and the media did their job in Ontario, Ford would have to resign.🤬

If you wonder about MAGA diehards imagine an old woman still denying she allowed her husband to rape her daughter. Admitting it would mean accepting responsibility for those visited horrors.

Ford's failed policies caused my daughter to be out of commission for a full 2 years after a knee injury. And despite his promise that health care in ON is covered by "your OHIP card, not your credit card", we paid thousands for her rehab. I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

CONSERVATIVE PREMIER's ALLWAYS FUCK AROUND WITH HEALTHCARE LOOK AT NS, ALBTA, ONTARIO NB WAS HORRIBLE UNDER HIGS The Conservative will never be happy until they distroy universal Healthcare in Canada Its part of their mandate

I am happy to see this story still getting mentioned almost two months after getting published. pressprogress.ca/toronto-mayo...

Canada is moving away from Elon Musk’s Starlink, committing roughly $5 billion to Telesat and expanding satellite partnerships with Europe, South Korea and Norway. Carney cited Ukraine’s Starshield restrictions as a warning against relying on one provider.

Because it’s how conservatives always do politics. Here’s the group that’s ruining your lives. Be angry at them! (Not at the people actually ruining your lives…who donate a lot to is). We’re the only ones who can help you because we also hate those people. It’s us…or Armageddon. Choose.

Alberta has had conservative governments forever, except for 4 yrs of NDP There are many who will tell you that those 4 yrs were a disaster They are wrong From 2015 - 2019 we had funded healthcare & education, our roads were fixed, municipalities were funded & none of this separatist nonsense #ableg

Ralph Goodale on Pete Hoekstra: "He really should remember that his role has changed. He's no longer the Michigan politician. He's a diplomat and an ambassador, and he should behave in a diplomatic fashion that is respectable in the country in which he is located."

This cruel move by Danielle Smith and MAGA UCP❓ It is very obviously about hate, exclusion, and regressive BS that plays to base❗️ Alberta must be better than this! 👎 share.google/MaoUIsZIa2Fe...

In 1863, a young boy came across a legless man on a beach at Sandy Cove, Nova Scotia. Cared for by locals for the rest of his life, he never spoke and no one ever found out who he was, or what happened to him before that day on the beach. Who was Jerome of Sandy Cove? youtu.be/goQxfGxOjWs

"What the Carney government appears to be making as a choice is not to restrict diversification efforts only to democracies" said Juneau... "if Canada were to choose to diversify only with democracies the ceiling for success would be low." www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Patty Hajdu lambasted the Conservatives for demonizing immigration, which was met by howls of “shame on you!” from the Conservative benches. #QP

Trudeau and Notley built them a frikking pipeline. Ungrateful yobs.

Being absolutely pedantic, the "block" on their supposed "path to prosperity" was the collapse of global oil prices in 2014. It had fuck all to do with Trudeau.

Rempel Garner just used the BioWare shutdown announcement to couch an anti-immigration question. Gross. #QP
