motherfucker have you heard of algebra

Well knock me over with a feather: Black Press has published an article in favour of proportional representation. It admits that the election results do not reflect the popular vote. That we have to keep going over this is like Groundhog Day albernivalleynews.com/2026/10/26/b... #bcpoli

There was Arabic literature long before anyone ever wrote anything in English

guys just let me have this one, I've been working my joe job all day and might be slightly delusional at this point

Report: Brad Bradford Is Sad Sadford

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

People, I beg you: this is ahistorical, bigoted and insane. RFK needs to swallow his tongue.

CBC and CP24 are calling the race for Olivia Chow

Maybe this makes me a bad journalist but I’m coming around to the idea that we should just tell everyone the results once everything is counted the next day

Remains possibly the worst spokesperson for anything, at any time

Collision? That's what we call it when a driver drives into an adult and a child? They all just ... collided?

NEW: BC Conservatives brought in a priest to exorcise bad spirits before election night at Rocky Mountaineer Station. Same venue where Kerry-Lynne Findlay was crowned leader months ago, right before her disastrous run. Divine intervention clearly worked. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Prelude for privatizing the ferries?? Ugh. #bcpoli

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

it feels truly insane that it’s not

💯🇨🇦

1. If you hear BC Green blaming, tell those losers to fuck right off. 2. It has always even been Eby's fault, and the centre-right NDPinc. lobbyists who believe above all that they're entitled to people's votes. 3. It's time to build a rigorous ecosocialist BC Green party with principles and […]

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

One more BC thread. The NDP are going to spend a lot of time figuring out what went wrong. I think Eby never found his stride as premier, and the path to leadership was where things started to go wrong. Eby wasn't used to being the bad guy, but the disqualification of Appadurai did not go over well.

New Smokey D piece in Vancouver’s DTES on city’s election results

I tragically wasn't given an "I voted" sticker today so you all have to go out and vote and get one in my honour! That's the law!

In British Columbia there is the NDP and the anti-NDP. The latter change their name every few decades. These guys haven't been out of power a decade.

“My Catholic Latina opponent wants to impose Sharia Law” is a hilariously desperate closing message. thehill.com/homenews/617...

Subscribed. I'll give this a go. It looks interesting.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

I've seen several news headlines today crowing that BC elected it's 'First Conservative Government in 100 Years.' Oh, bullshit. Christie Clark, Gordon Campbell, Rita Johnson, Bill Vander Zalm, Bill Bennett, WAC Bennett et al (Socreds, Libs) were just Cons with fake ID. #bcpoli #elxn2026

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

I transitioned under a conservative government. I fought to have gender identity and gender expression added to the human rights code. I worked to end the Christy Clark era.

One big consolation today is #Brazil defeated the fascist. It looked like Bolsonaro Jr. had beaten Lula, via right-wing mayors interrupting transit to the polls, but youthquake/working class actions turned it around and Lula has won! We needed this today. My Latin America housing chat is erupting

🧵Yesterday, British Columbia elected a Conservative majority government that ran on a platform of tax cuts and accelerating the pillaging of nature, or what the party calls “natural resources exploitation.” They also ran on attacking Indigenous sovereignty and trans rights.

Thank you, West Vancouver-Sea to Sky. It’s an honour that you’ve trusted me to represent you in Victoria. This is a responsibility and a privilege that I don’t take lightly. 1/

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Premier: you capitulated to the right, campaigned on locking up my community-who you used to represent when I knew you at Pivot. You gave us a con majority that’ll bring still more death & misery. In this Mamdani moment you stood for capital. -lifelong NDP voter who voted Green

Surprise David Graeber reference in @emilylowan.bsky.social’s speech last night. I have a feeling he would have been pleased.

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.
