“We have endured the silliness of an unserious prime minister kneeling in an ordinary cemetery with a teddy bear, pretending it had something to do with secret residential school deaths.”

“Vote for me or else I’m going to lose!”
I’m inviting all progressive voters to join us in this election. If you’ve voted Green in the past, we share a lot of the same values, and there’s too much at stake right now.
In 11 seats last time, the Green vote was the difference between a Conservative and a New Democrat. We can stop Conservative cuts and build B.C. strong if we stand together.

After David Eby's desperate, callous attempt to use the soldiers killed over the weekend to attack his political opponents, Eby is now in damage control mode.
Breaking news Global BC's Legislature Bureau Chief Keith Baldrey:
BALDREY: David Eby just phoned me a few minutes ago, Julie, to clarify his comments. He said he had no intention to use the death of the soldiers in a political fashion. That was not what he meant to talk about today. But he's going to be clarifying his remarks at a campaign stop later today in the Okanagan. So obviously an issue that is suddenly blown up in the campaign. And Eby is going to clarify his remarks later today.
Green steel, 2025
Marx Carney tells reporters that the Industrial Carbon Tax will help leapfrog Canadian steel companies over their American and International competitors.
WTF is he talking about? How can taxing our industry somehow make us more competitive?
I thought Kamala Harris was the word salad master; turns out Carney is a master chef...

South Asian Muslims are at the bottom of the global Muslim caste system.
In accordance with Sharia law, Saudi Arabia executed a couple from Bangladesh for an “immoral act” inside a mosque in Mecca. There was no due process. Their offense could have been as little as holding hands. They were likely publicly beheaded. thedailystar.net/news/crime-…
“Progressive” can mean almost anything now. Usually it signifies uncontrolled spending, feelings-based socialism and endless state expansion.

Sean Orr wants the destruction of Canada, and he'll start with destruction of Vancouver.

Looks like Mayors who embraced NDP policy or rolled over to it without a fight are receiving a firm message from residents.
Still early, but here is Delta so far. Looks like Mayor Harvie is getting the boot out.

Will New Westminster see a power shift at City Hall tonight?
Incumbent NDP aligned mayor Patrick Johnstone is up against City Councillor Daniel Fontaine of the @NWProgressives.
