It’s not easy to get out of this space, but I can tell by the light through the window that the sky is blue. Link to new socials in bio. 👆
I’m moving over to the arena next door. …link in bio. It’s not as crowded there yet, but it’s starting to fill up -and so far most of the people are pretty nice.

🧵On October 22nd of 2017, I finished my last bartending shift and began my first day as Premier Horgan's EA the very next morning. For the next 4 years I spent nearly every day with John. He loved telling the unlikely story of how I was hired, so I'm going to tell it.
If the all-party appointed Chief Electoral Officer, and fmr. R.C. naval officer w/ 20+ yrs. experience can’t explain or correct what happened, then ask for a review. Your overreaction is premature.
So @JohnRustad4BC claims that “confidence in election integrity is more fragile than ever” as he undermines confidence in its integrity. @ElectionsBC. #bcpoli
Elections BC has revealed that a ballot box containing 861 votes went entirely uncounted, along with 14 unreported votes in Surrey-Guildford—a crucial riding narrowly won by the NDP.
While I am not disputing the final outcome pending remaining judicial recounts, it’s clear that mistakes like these severely undermine public trust in our electoral process.
This is an unprecedented failure by the very institution responsible for ensuring the fairness and accuracy of our elections.
At a time when confidence in election integrity is more fragile than ever before, British Columbians deserve assurance that every vote counts and that these errors are corrected.
This is why I’m calling for an independent review to ensure that these types of mistakes never happen again. Democracy is too sacred to allow trust to erode to the lows we see today. #bcpoli
This is sad news. He was a man of great integrity who, among other things, helped us all become more aware of our history so we could improve our path forward.

A mechanical problem with BC Ferries’ Queen of Surrey vessel means at least three morning sailings between Horseshoe Bay and Langdale have been cancelled. vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/1…
I haven’t noticed anyone holding back, or being shamed into silence. That’s what I said. And yeah, I was elected 5 times…pretty obvious I’d vote @bcndp. 🤷♂️
Nobody has been shamed into silence, is what I said. This means I’ve been listening. Read carefully.
