The lesson from Serbia is that when no party represents the people, you can build your own alternative even if it takes years of community assemblies, organizing and resistance to severe state repression. Democracy and justice are fragile; it takes the utmost strength to keep them alive.

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

Eby called a snap election to strengthen his hand and handed BC its first Conservative majority since 1928. This won't end well. Different party than the federal Conservatives or Alberta's UCP, but most BC voters won't be happy with what comes next.

Yup. Same old call for lowering taxes without telling people what they will cut. People are stupid enough to fall for this repeatedly - despite having so many examples of poor government by Conservatives everywhere. I am old. I've seen this over and over but I'm still so shocked and saddened.

Sure I’m upset with the BC NDP for calling this election and other things. But I understand order of magnitude. My frustration with them isn’t within the same galaxy as my concern with handing a blank check of power to an extremist BC Conservative Party that hasn’t even picked their REAL leader yet.

So BC, one of MANY problems with voting for an interim leader who you’re thinking seems “more reasonable” than the rest of their obviously extremist party, is that the extremist party WILL pick a REAL leader AFTER you’ve given them power and can pick their worst extremist option anytime they want.

The results of this BC election are incredibly disappointing to me. The NDP clearly have a public relations problem (and Eby has negative charisma) but in policy, they have objectively done a lot of good. They built a ton of new hospitals, housing, and transit. Things that really matter.

Trump set up a whistleblower hotline to catch fraud, and America immediately understood the assignment: flooding it with reports on Trump, his family, and his entire cabinet. Huge shoutout to everyone doing their patriotic duty by reporting the actual criminals! 💅🔥

I understand that they need to talk to supporters on both sides of the separatist issue because otherwise Pierre Poilievre and his five supporters will January 6th the CBC building, but the lack of pushback on separatists' arguments as to why poor lil Alberta deserves righteous justice is maddening

Chase, BC, has voted in a mayor who ran for the provincial Green party in 2024. This is a small rural community between Kamloops and Salmon Arm on the TCH. Usually conservative. Let's turn the province Green 💚 this Saturday!

The separatists are going to lose today’s vote. But if Alberta’s political class doesn’t stop feeding and inflaming their bottomless sense of grievance and victimhood, we’ll all end up losing in the end. #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/19/o...

Hey Albertans! Make sure you vote. Don't count on the other side not showing up. They will. Therefore, so should you. The lines may be long, Elections Alberta may be underfunded, but your voice needs to be heard. Every vote counts!

We have to do this because the UCP banned electronic vote tabulators at the behest of it’s conspiracy-addled base. It’s almost like it was designed to reduce trust in the system.

The patient poll workers have to fold up and initial ten small pieces of paper for each individual voter. Then you have unfold ten tiny ballots and mark your choice on each one and fold it back up. And then you have to put each individual ballot in its own colour coded ballot box.

This Thanksgiving, I am grateful for the country we are privileged to call home. Canada’s greatest strength has always been its people, our diversity, our shared values, and our determination to face challenges together. May we never take for granted the blessings of freedom, peace, and unity.

Norway’s former Chief of Defence, General Sverre Diesen: “Under the current Trump administration, we cannot consider the United States our ally. Trump’s America is a hostile actor that, in the event of a conflict in Europe, would side with Russia rather than with us and other European countries.”
