The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

They're called Arabic numerals for a reason, dumbass

Sweet! Good for her!

Correction: this is the sort of thing Americans have spent decades HELPING African and South American nations in doing

Running pro-energy sector ads is not the mandate of Environment and Climate Change Canada. Carney is also gutting federal science agencies and trashing environmental protections. Carney is worse than Harper.

Already a million great elxn takes. I'm remembering this post I made 2 yrs ago (about the Fed NDP, but Prov quickly did the same). I could be wrong 🤷‍♂️ But the NDP capitulating on so many progressive issues seems like it gained them ~0 conservative votes, while losing them thousands of supporters.

Only 48% of BC voters supported the BC Conservatives, yet the voting system has handed Lorne Doerkson's Conservatives 69% of the seats and 100% of the power. READ MORE: www.fairvote.ca/25/10/2026/b... JOIN THE CAMPAIGN FOR PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION: secure.fairvote.ca/en/action/de...

Here's what **Environment and Climate Change Canada** is posting as ads.

Remember when we wanted Anjali Appadurai to lead the NDP + party brass said heck no & installed Eby and that alone was the first dire warning. Anyway. Yeah. me too. This was Eby’s election to lose & provincial NDP across the country are that unreliable oil guzzling ex you shouldn’t trust.

David Eby’s legacy = human rights violating military raid on Wet’suwet’en as AG, cheating in the leadership race to become Premier, simping for LNG, colossally failing to uphold DRIPA, worst snap election in Canadian history

imagine your legacy being using your political career to undermine your entire pre-politics career just so you can make the most humiliating blunder and lose to a party that was on the verge of collapse

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 went from an ndp premier with the best political instincts in john horgan to the absolute worst in david eby

B.C. Green Party Leader Emily Lowan: "We are the only party equipped to stand against the Conservatives and what they stand for... Over the next four years our job is to be a voice for the many people who will be harmed by their policies"

BC, LOCK IN AND VOTE! POLLS OPEN UNTIL 8PM TODAY!!!!

People can vote for whoever they want, that's democracy. You didn't care about vote-splitting with the BC Greens when you rejected the all-party recommendation for an electoral reform citizens' assembly. You had your chance to reform the system, so whatever happens on election day is on you.

Since 2016, London’s cycling network has grown fivefold, from 90 to 450 kilometres. The results? 1.5 million daily cycle journeys—a 43% increase since 2019—twice as many bikes as cars on City of London streets during the day, and motor traffic in steady decline—having fallen 25% in the same period.

Green Leader Emily Lowan has issued a statement saying a B.C. Conservative government would be "disastrous," after an NDP statement suggested she had openness to supporting minority rule by the Conservatives after Saturday's…

The BC Conservatives, an absolute mess of a party full of racists and nuts, might get a commanding majority with 44% of the vote. This will be entirely on the BC NDP and Eby. Entirely. It'll be their fault for not getting rid of FPTP, and for calling an unnecessary election out of pure selfishness.

The Conservatives want you to believe they can cut your taxes, add no new taxes AND balance the budget, all without touching your health care. The BC Greens have a costed plan that makes life affordable and asks the ultrawealthy to pay their fair share. Vote Green on Saturday, Oct. 24.

All I can say is I truly hope the next BC NDP leader is willing to go all in with the Greens to get proportional representation. Handing unchecked power to fringe lunatics with just 40ish% of the vote is no way to run a democracy. And scolding us to vote out of fear is not democracy either. #bcpoli

They just came right out with it?! This should crystallize why progressives are critical of the ndp, and David Eby specifically, on electoral reform.

Did You Know: Although Velehk Sain is an immortal Daedra in the service of Molag Bal's efforts to conquer Nirn, he really isn't that interested in it? His only true passions are all maritime in nature, and he truly just wishes to sail on the ocean, do a little piracy, and obtain some booty.

Not just the fastest, or the cheapest, or the best, but the *only* possible solution to climate change is a rapid global buildout of clean energy infrastructure. If you're standing in the way of that, you're not working on climate change & should be honest with yourself about your priorities.

someone sent me a british columbia government simulation game, and i don't know if it's "good" or "accurate" or "objective" but after 20 minutes i know that it's "addictive" and "a problem if i want to do a good job on election night" governbc.ca

Lmao "energy in action" => "energy inaction"

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

This is a publicly funded government agency refusing to share weather warnings and their own public warnings with a journalist at Global News, one of the larger mainstream news outlets in Canada. I really want you to sit with the bare facts of that.

I want to be clear, I am not suggesting conspiracy. In part because I am familiar with how routine this sort of stonewalling is. But this really lays it bare. They won’t tell us what the weather was

Winning feels good. Channeled my inner Rihanna for some celebration shenanigans. 💰🍾✊🏾 Run me my coins, @washingtonpost.com!

I love this so much

I can say that I am utterly devastated to see the results of the “other nine” questions. The scapegoating of newcomers is about to get a lot worse and that is a loss for all Albertans and Canadians.

This is fucked. Really bleak how entrenched this is becoming.

Sometimes you just need an autumn walk along a Nova Scotia riverbank at sunset while sipping on a steaming mug of tea.

Lots of talk about how Alberta’s separatist movement is driven by rural hillbillies and conspiratorial convoy types Important to remember this stuff is also pushed by wealthy business types who hang out at Calgary’s Petroleum Club:

Wait, is that cbc model projecting a separatist vote in the 40% range? #canpoli #cdnpoli

frankly embarrassed for Eby calling this election #bcpoli

I mean, the conspiracy theorists were probably always going to vote to leave anyway. This just makes the movement more fringe for those who were on the fence

For cities with right-wing mayors (or premiers) because progressive parties lose by splitting the vote, the huge election result here in Vancouver was made possible by the agreement between Greens, COPE & OneCity to NOT each run full council slates, and have only one mayor candidate by election day.

Vancouverites are wise to cop lies

The fascist international is real, and silicon valley is one of its support beams

Who’s stealing from us? The billionaires!

Setting aside the immense legal and moral stakes, the Democratic party needs desperately to demonstrate to the rest of the world that America can be trusted as an ally and stable partner.

Pope Leo’s encyclical on AI and war was one of the more clear eyed things I’ve read about where we are now, and where we are no longer.

Vive La France 🇫🇷. No Kings could never.

There is so much bait-and-switch in Canada’s “digital sovereignty“ (heh) strategy. Bottom line is that building out massive polluting AI data centres to host US tech companies is a form of digital colonialism: they control the tech & the profits, and export the dirtiest, lowest-value part abroad.
