Prediction:
If, as seems likely, the BC Conservatives form govt, they will quickly declare BC’s financial situation even worse than they thought, and put many of their promises “on hold”

It is election eve here in B.C and we are at risk of electing a party filled with right wing extremists.I hope we don't elect the Conservatives simply to punish the N.D.P for a an untimely election call.They may not be perfect but are a far better and safer choice than the Cons.
The BC Conservative platform cuts $2 billion a year from the budget line that helps pay for hospitals, surgeries, clinics and long-term care
They’re going to privatise our healthcare.
BC’s healthcare system is still suffering and playing catch-up from the last BC Lib (now BC Con) govt. It only takes one austere govt to destroy something for many years. Don’t push us even further back by voting for the BC Cons.
Dear British Columbia,
I know you might be pissed at an election being called 2 years early BUT...
Don't be as stupid as Ontario & Alberta
The BC Cons will not & cannot make things more affordable but they WILL make your healthcare WORSE.
Tom Mulcair: "I don't think that Danielle Smith should be allowed to pose herself as some sort of anti-separatist hero. She's the one who set this thing in motion, and I think that she should be answerable for it."
I’m a federal Liberal who voted BC NDP to block the BC Cons from infusing Poilievre’s MapleMAGA DNA into my province. I don’t have a dedicated horse in this race but I’m warning BCers; Cons always bring private user fees, tolls, higher insurance rates, austerity and more debt. /2
BREAKING: YES! A federal judge drops the HAMMER on Trump and orders him to be deposed for his $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC over alleged defamation.
This is the LAST thing in the world he wants...
U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett has ruled that Trump must be deposed by the BBC's attorneys — which, it should be noted, are some of the best-paid, most incisive, ruthless lawyers in the business — by December 11th. Given Trump's worsening dementia and pathological penchant for lying, it's safe to presume that they will tear him apart.
If Trump refuses to be deposed by the deadline, he risks forfeiting the entire lawsuit. He was originally supposed to sit for the deposition on October 16th, but his attorneys informed the BBC that he was "no longer available" because he had to tend "other matters of national importance." Translation: He was scared.
The suit in question revolves around patently absurd allegations of defamation stemming from the editing of a documentary about Trump's fascist efforts to overturn the 2020 election after he lost to Joe Biden. The case is clearly meritless, but Trump was hoping to use the powers of the presidency to harass and intimidate the BBC into agreeing to a settlement, like he has with other outlets. Thankfully, they're standing firm.
Please ❤️ and share if you stand with the BBC!
BREAKING: Chinese EV giant BYD is reportedly advancing plans for up to 20 Canadian dealerships under the limited import rules.
Canadians would you buy one?
WSJ tweeted this to its 20 million followers and it has under 400 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “Elon Musk has secretly been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022”
Canada's $2.3B pivot away from Starlink isn't just about internet-it's a massive warning shot to Elon Musk over Ukraine.
PM Mark Carney directly cited Musk's sudden service cuts and data restrictions to Ukraine as the exact reason Canada must achieve total strategic autonomy. No ally wants to rely on one unpredictable billionaire who can pull the military plug during a war.
Canada isn't just protecting itself. The $2.3B contract expands Ottawa-based Telesat Lightspeed into a military-grade satellite network meant for secure Arctic and NORAD defense.
Telesat confirmed they plan to deploy this secure system directly to Ukraine and other allied nations.
Canada is literally funding the un-pluggable backup system Ukraine has been looking for. 🇨🇦
I got my flu and covid vaccines today and the pharmacist who gave them to me is most concerned that shots like this and the RSV, which is free to Seniors 75 and over may not be available if government should change. I wonder if BCers realize how this is b/c we have NDP.
If he didn't just admit that he's counting on #TrumpCrimFamilySyndicate to invade #Alberta. I mentioned this part before. You could see coming, if you were connecting the dots and nuanced comments. #BeSafeBeAware They are desperate AF on both side of the border.
