How do you eat the rich? One tax at a time.

Hey, #BC, turns out there's a way we can get proportional representation... By taking it. By force. It is to take if we want it. All we need to do is to believe in ourselves, & to hit the streets. #BritishColumbia #Canada #PR #BCPoli #CanPoli

“Our government will cut red tape” The red tape:

Sounds like a great idea…..

B.C. Conservatives celebrate election win by burning down old growth forest

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.

Record low NDP voter turnout caused this. 275,000 fewer NDP votes. Congratulations to the #BCGreens the only party to actually gain votes. I never want to hear about "strategic voting" again. The NDP couldn't even be bothered to vote "strategically" for their own party. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

BC voting results: 200k votes === 2 seats 800k votes === 46 seats Something is fundamentally broken with our voting system. #canpoli #bcpoli #fptp

BC nobly sacrifices good governance to teach one man about hubris

My trauma & addiction recovery shifted when I stopped thinking in terms of "problems," & started thinking in terms of patterns. Focusing on my problems was triggering & depressing me. Focusing on my patterns, w/ compassion & realism, started giving me options.

“I think, therefore I am.” If I no longer have imagination - no longer can think for myself - I am just a hollowed-out consumer. I will have lost that which makes me human. I despise those that take away a child’s imagination and replace it with learning a “tool” that isn’t really a tool at all.

BC election data shows 52% of voters stayed home. Global data shows all things being equal proportional elections have higher turnout than systems built solely on single-winner-ridings, because proportional representation means everyone feels they have a voice.

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 the B.C. Conservatives promised to do if elected

In the coming century, there will be very few people who have seen a coral reef or a glacier.

Somebody should have told Eby that he can resign without calling an election.

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.

I've reported a lot on OneBC and Dallas Brodie, the party that did its best to promote residential school denialism and attack Indigenous rights in this province. Tonight she lost her riding of Vancouver-Quilchena about as hard as you can lose.

If the B.C. election result stings for you tonight, remember that this province once forced a majority government to back down on a tax it had just brought in. A new government still answers to the same people who hired it.

Thanks to Nanaimo News Now for this story. Canadians expect MPs to represent their communities and hold government accountable. When a reporter contacted me about concerns from Aaron Gunn’s constituents, I felt it was important to respond. 1/5

More plugin solar legislative activity south of the border. Here in Canada... silence. We need affordable plug-in solar legislation, across the country, now. Check out www.pluginsolarpower.ca to learn more about our advocacy. And join the fight!

It's not confirmed Aaron Gunn will run/be acclaimed BC Conservative leader—but it seems likely. It would explain the bizarre announcement from Doerkson that there would be no election night scrum. If this bait & switch happens, it calls the legitimacy of the BC election into question. #bcpoli

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.

Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section. (Published March)

It seems to me that the centrists are eying the selfish policies of the right wing and taking notes. The Golden Rule and loving your neighbour is apparently passé.

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.

A short successful war is one of history's most persistent "but it might work out for us" cases.

Worshipping the almighty dolllar.

I keep thinking about that part in Revelations where it says Babylon has fallen…

Experts have been warning that AI-powered hacking could threaten large swaths of the internet. It's finally happening, writes Matteo Wong.

My review of The Experiment is now the most read article on the whole of The Guardian website. It is genuinely one of the most shocking, disturbing, and timely things I’ve ever watched. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Between long COVID, ME/CFS, and other chronic illnesses, millions of people in the U.S. alone experience debilitating fatigue. Researchers have started to figure out why—but they don’t know how to stop it. Ed Yong reported: (From 2023)

I'm just noticing that the BC NDP platform is titled "BC Strong" and the BC Conservative's is "Stronger BC." Clearly there's room for another party to run on "Even Stronger BC" or "Strongest BC" or ....? #bcpoli

South Korea is going to spend $1 TRILLION on a green energy transformation. Mexico is spending $50 BILLION on a green energy transition. @mark-carney.bsky.social is spending $50 BILLION+ on a pipeline and carbon capture. What's wrong with this picture? reneweconomy.com.au/south-korea-...

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

”…people of color, immigrants, & low-income people are not prioritized in decision making in these two cities. Climate, impeccable design, & engineering are.” UHh…if you prioritize climate, design, and engineering, don‘t you by default improve things for ALL people? I don’t see the downside here??

your strategy of actually solving the issue pales in comparison to my strategy of having meetings about it. fuck you!

You rejected a citizens' assembly on electoral reform less than a year ago and told Greens to "go out and campaign for it." Now that they are, you're begging them to stop. Fix our distorted voting system instead of asking voters to abandon their values.
