@AO3_Status It's back again! Please start sending these sorts of updates to other platforms too.

[BTSpagali @BtsCanuck]

@Parental_OnX @acoyne Flaherty and Oliver didn't either.

[BTSpagali @BtsCanuck]

@FoodProfessor No. Not at all. I buy some of my groceries from supermarkets and some from a local organic food delivery service run by friends. I buy eggs from both sources; there is almost no difference between them.

[Sean Johnson 🔥 @intentionally]

I voted for her. I think he’s a bad guy.

But if you lose the senate, house, electoral college AND popular vote, and you think the lesson is half the country is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and stupid… wrong lesson. And the same thing will likely happen in 2028.

[BTSpagali @BtsCanuck]

@acoyne I feel reassured. /s

[BTSpagali @BtsCanuck]

It's voices like Cindy Blackstock's that I need to hear from today. She has never, ever given up. So I won't either.

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

Dark clouds have gathered over the US but with all our love and strength the rains will renew and not devastate. But it will take all of us not giving up because giving up rewards injustice.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

in retrospect, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords really might've been a better basis for a system of government.

[BTSpagali @BtsCanuck]

@bangtown_ot7 Hugs again. So sorry the result was not what we hoped. But yes, today we will survive.

[BTSpagali @BtsCanuck]

@michaelcoren Where do you think we should start?

[Jill Twiss @jilltwiss]

I have said this before, but it's weird when you realize that what you thought was rock bottom was actually somewhere around rock middle

[BTSpagali @BtsCanuck]

@bangtown_ot7 Canuck here. Hugs! Breathe! It's not quite time to panic yet. The first key state to watch is Georgia. Its urban counties -- which have hundreds of thousands of votes -- are only starting to be counted. No one has declared a winner there because it's still very much in play.

[BTSpagali @BtsCanuck]

@acoyne Yes, but I still have hope in Georgia. Florida, no.

[BTSpagali @BtsCanuck]

@acoyne It's fantastic. But I fear he may be preaching to the choir.

[BTSpagali @BtsCanuck]

@doc__awk JK as emergency medicine is great! What do you think of him as orthopaedics?

[BTSpagali @BtsCanuck]

@drvolts I had wondered for a while whether focussing on what a joke and embarrassment he is would get through to his most ardent supporters. It won't, though, because no matter what, they see her and what she represents as worse.

[BTSpagali @BtsCanuck]

@joelghill @Sask_NDP Rural voters care about education and health care as much as anyone else. Focusing on these issues was not inappropriate. But I agree that rural voters shouldn't be trashed.

[JOANNE CHIANELLO @JCHIANELLO]

There is $3B available to bribe us with our own money, but not to open more hospital beds or train more doctors? Great priorities.

[BTSpagali @BtsCanuck]

No results for urban constituencies for another 30 minutes? It's going to be a long night! #skpoli

I was the Campaign Manager for the Provincial Conservatives in BC.

This morning, I personally took part in counting some of the final ballots in Surrey-Guildford. @ElectionsBC staff were all incredibly diligent in their work and very thorough in ensuring transparency.

I feel confident in their work.

We now await a judicial recount in at least one riding. Regardless of whether we pull that off or even if David Eby wins government by one single vote—this is democracy.

We will have more updates as more information is made available.
