Ms.Sally 🇨🇦

I made a starter pack of BC Green candidates and others who support their policies and ideas. Let me know if I missed you and I'll make a Part 2. go.bsky.app/Qeuj6mY

Congratulations to the BC Greens on an incredible campaign, and to Emily Lowan and Jeremy Valeriote on their victories!

If true, lessons for the NDP are fourfold: 1. don't short circuit leadership races. 2. Figure out what the right policy is, and push it through. 3. Make sure you find ways to convincingly tell the story of those changes. 4. Don't make it all about polarizing partisan politics. Voters HATE that.

If there's anything historic about BC's recent election, it's not that a political group, who have changed their name from Social Credit, to Liberal, to United, to a bunch of things, and finally to Conservative, won an election under the name Conservative (a name which they haven't used in a while).

Kinew: Canada should no longer have a “race-based form of identification.”

Will the Prime Minister make good on his promise to build affordable housing at scale and commit to doubling non-market housing stock in the upcoming budget? @mark-carney.bsky.social @gregorrobertson.bsky.social

The BC election had the second lowest turnout in Canadian history. Second only to the last Ontario election. This is crisis level apathy and no one seems to care. Our democracy has become a sham. The silence from our politicians is damning. They don't actually want us to vote. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Sorrow will have its seasons and its reasons, but let us leave a window open for joy. Some days, simply carrying on asks more of us than anyone can see. Keep going gently. The effort matters because the life you are tending is your own.

BC's reputation as "famously progressive" is a myth. NDP control of the province has been brief - before them it was the right wing "BC Liberals" (who were actually conservative) and the far-right Social Credit party. I don't know why people have forgotten that.

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

We have work to do, BC. The only left of centre left was the Greens. The NDP sold out with a leader who refused to listen to the UBCM, his own people and the people of the province. Dark days are ahead. Plan, organize, fight to protect 2SLGBTQ fam and our Indigenous brothers and sisters. #BCPoli

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...

I know emotions are high right now. Let’s be kind to each other as we figure out what the future of BC is going to look like, because we need to work together to make sure that future is bright.

I wonder how many people know the BC Conservatives have vowed to end rent increase limits

Be sad and be angry. But then: you need to decide what you love, and what you want to fight for: Climate. Old growth. Health care. Reconciliation. Trans kids. Transit. The arts. Gather your people. Offer your skills. Show up, in person, in your communities. Organize. Find joy in it.

I'm sure many of them will have a story to tell tomorrow about how they were on their way to the venue and saw a person outside. There are people in East Van. Sometimes they are outside. It's very scary for Conservatives.

The province will need the same thing we needed no matter who became Premier tonight—base building, strategic organizing and to realize our collective stake in upholding Indigenous rights. Meantime, we’ll wait and see if the BC NDP learns a lesson or keeps pointing the blame.

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

She lives on in Lorne's call of 'parks for all'.

The rise of @emilylowan.bsky.social is the only good thing to come out of this stupid election so give her a follow, as she will likely be on the front lines of fighting back against the avalanche of shit we are about to eat.

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!

We have the technology to leave fossil fuels in the past. It is political will that is lacking.

You know what to do.

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.

This is the @bcgreens.bsky.social @emilylowan.bsky.social is the fantastic party leader. bcgreens.ca/wp.../upload... That 🔼is the SOLID & COMPREHENSIVE platform. This -🌍💧💨🍎🥕♿️🏥 is WHY I am VOTING ✅for a common sense BC Green Party government in B.C. #NoMorePovertyPWD in B.C. #CripTheVote

David Eby is an experienced politician. These ads make the NDP look weak and uninspired. Eby called the election with apparently no plan, no strategy, not even a full slate. I agree, we don't want a conservative government. So why did David Eby campaign like this?

Vivian Maier, US street photographer whose work was discovered and recognized after her death #womensart

If we "wake up" Sunday morning to a conservative gov in BC, it's on David Eby and the NDP, who could have figured out a way to work with already elected Green Party MLAs while already governing. Eby chose to throw it all away. These ads make the NDP look desperate & scared. Not inspiring.

More fear-mongering from a desperate BC NDP. Ignore their nonsense.

If the economy grows but you can't afford a home, who benefited? If productivity rises but you work longer hours, who benefited? If corporations make record profits but you can't afford food, who benefited? The owning class is robbing us all blind.

Victory in Aotearoa! 🏳️‍⚧️💙 New Zealand’s High Court has struck down the government’s ban on new puberty blocker prescriptions for trans young people, ruling it unlawful. Justice La Hood found the ban was discriminatory and disproportionate, in breach of the New Zealand Bill of Rights.

"B.C... had the second highest increase, after Alberta, in for-profit full-day spaces since 2021, with 72 per cent of new spaces being for-profit... Operators of these spaces tend to charge higher fees than their non-profit counterparts..." For-profit = lower quality of care, low wages, high fees
