People have spoken & nearly 12,000 Victorians chose someone who proclaimed a sexual harasser the best thing that ever happened to #yyj to be mayor. Misogynists or just ignorant? Ok as long as it didn't happen to you, right? Elsner victims, sorry you had to see this. #victoriabc
@YellowTaxi@Adam_Stirling @MacinnisWesley @VotingHelps People aren't as dumb as you think. Don't try to deflect the lies as sexism. That's hateful & you know it is. A feminist would think twice about voting for anyone who calls a sexual harrasser "the best thing ever". What kind of Mayor does that? #yyj#victoriabc#yyjpoli
@yyjpolitics@BruceForMayor@VotingHelps @rhymeswreagan I had to resurrect a knocked down Stephen Hammond sign this morning. felt great to take a stand for truth, compassion and inclusion.
@votinghelps supporters: One more time: With love and respect: You have been fooled. Please don't take that mistake to the polls tomorrow. #yyj#victoriabc#yyjpoli
I’ve had a number of @cfax1070 listeners ask that we post a podcast my commentary on the need for a public inquiry regarding the VicPD former police chief saga.
You ask, we deliver.
I challenge any of you to listen and tell me I’m wrong. #yyj#bcpoli https://t.co/UtAjrmwN6o
@JeremyLoveday @NoggettSidney @Olidiajane1 It is complex, but I'd pare it down to this: If you were told of multiple sexual harrassment allegations against someone and then a reporter asked you about that person, would you say they're the best thing that's ever happened to #victoriabc ? For me at least, that would help.
@votinghelps supporters: I'm telling you, with love and respect: You've been fooled. Bamboozled. Please don't take that mistake to the #yyj polls tomorrow. https://t.co/LC8taokjhs
Question for #yyj voters: How do you think the women who Elsner harassed felt when they heard @VotingHelps later telling the media that he was the best thing that ever happened to #VictoriaBC ? They were already disempowered enough. She knew. Mayor should apologize to all women.
@YellowTaxi@BoatwellR @MacinnisWesley @VotingHelps To be clear, both of these mayors did make false public claims to us about this report and its contents.
Desjardins said “there was no relationship” —- false. There was.
Helps said “there was no new information in that letter” — false.
These are irrefutable facts.
@Adam_Stirling I want to believe that @votinghelps supporters will look at the facts and see the truth, not just act like Trump followers who stay loyal no matter what their candidate does. I guess we'll find out tomorrow. #yyj#VictoriaBC
#yyj election began with @VotingHelps trying to divide us and bully council on John A McDonald statue, which set back the fragile reconciliation process and stoked anger. We need a mayor who will unite us, who puts others first. Vote with your conscience. #VictoriaBC#yyjpoli
@AnalyseVic @rhymeswreagan @lisahelps From where I sit, Stephen Hammond is the only reasonable choice. He seems like a decent human being and not just someone playing politics for his own ego's sake.
@Adam_Stirling So is @MacinnisWesley saying a lawyer forced @votinghelps to tell the media that Elsner was the best thing that ever happened to #victoriabc even though she knew about his sexual harrassment? I would be curious to see what the exact legal rationale was there.
There’s another call for a public inquiry. If the Office if the Police Complaint Commissioner says an inquiry is the only way we can truly know who is telling us the truth, I say we do it.
Public confidence in the OPCC has been undermined. Justice demands it be restored.
Absolutely. #yyj councillors, speak up. @VotingHelps is not a dictator who can't be questioned. You have a voice. Use it for something good. #victoriabc#yyjpoli
@Adam_Stirling Yes. But I am also pointing out the silence on council. They need to get involved and demand accountability. Council has a role to play here - so far they pretend it is not their issue

Respect to Bruce, but Stephen Hammond seems to me like our best chance of escaping the hateful, divisive Trump-style politics of the past 4 years. #yyj#victoriabc
.Who will be Victoria’s winner on Saturday? @BruceForMayor@votinghelps or https://t.co/lbyGZCkKpN Hammond? Victorians don’t seem to want Saanich resident @rhymeswreagan as their mayor - his signs only seen on public property. #yyjpoli
@Adam_Stirling Are you suggesting that @VotingHelps dispatching minions to smear you and @cfax1070 wasn't a great strategy? But she has that tattoo - she must be telling the truth.
