@mashakleiner You’re a good writer Masha. I appreciate you sharing your observations and the connections you made between today’s young men on Granville and yesterday’s on a warship. ❤️

That’s a lot of words to say:

“I’m giving your tax dollars to rich people who made a crap investment.”

Canada, you should be furious about this! 🤬🤬

[Richard Dias @RichardDias_CFA]

Bailing out various Canadian condo markets is regressive garbage and a slap in the face of every Canadian taxpayer.

FFS, let the market clear!

The numbers do not lie, and they reveal the tragic cost of the BC NDP's failed drug decriminalization experiment.

Federal health data shows that overdose deaths in British Columbia rose by 12 percent during the pilot, increasing from 2,098 in 2022 to 2,347 in 2024. Public possession of hard drugs up to 2.5 grams was permitted beginning in February 2023, and the results were clear: greater public disorder and more lives lost. Data from the BC Coroners Service confirms the same troubling pattern, with toxic drug deaths rising during the 15-month period compared to the time before the policy took effect.

When the exemption was suspended in May 2024 and police were able to resume enforcement, deaths fell sharply by 22 percent to 1,841 in 2025. This was not a failure of compassion or timing. It was a predictable outcome of prioritizing ideology over evidence and public safety.

British Columbians, especially our families and vulnerable communities, have paid an unbearable price. Parents have lost children. Neighbourhoods have been transformed by open drug use and chaos. We cannot allow ideology to continue endangering lives while we chase unproven theories.

As the Leader of the BC Conservative Party, I believe we must pursue a balanced, evidence-based approach that treats addiction as a serious health issue while holding criminals accountable and restoring order in our communities. That means supporting real recovery pathways, including healthy housing with accountability, vocational supports, and long-term reintegration. It means lowering the charge approval threshold for Crown counsel so that police work leads to action, not inaction. And it means rejecting policies that treat law-abiding citizens as the problem while criminals operate with impunity.

We will build safer communities where families can thrive, not just survive. British Columbia deserves leadership that puts people first, respects the rule of law, and learns from failure rather than doubling down on it.

Together, we will turn the page on these failed experiments and deliver the compassionate, common-sense results our province needs. I urge every British Columbian who wants real change to join us in building a safer, more prosperous future for all.

Carney Government Loses It's Mind & Just Saves Condo Developers In BC: Unfuckinglievable

Unlike Carney's deal with Ontario which was a HST Sales Tax reduction scheme in BC they just went whole hog & BOUGHT New Construction Condos the Developers can't sell

Which is NUTS

Fresh off a narrow leadership defeat, @NVanCaroline says she is open to running as a BC MLA.

She says she has already discussed it with new leader @KerryLynneFindl, while firmly ruling out launching a new party: "A divided party is the biggest gift we can hand David Eby and the NDP" — Sitka Media

Yup. This is life in Canada 🇨🇦

@KerryLynneFindl I’m liking your “Fine” series - we all know the meme. Excellent exposure of BC NDP irony, hypocrisy, and failure.🤩🙌

[Kerry-Lynne Findlay @KerryLynneFindl]

While the NDP continues to insist that everything is fine in British Columbia, British Columbians know the truth. Our province is facing serious challenges created by their failed policies: record deficits and debt after John Horgan left a surplus, crumbling infrastructure, hospital closures, emergency rooms turning people away, and out-of-control crime including extortion rackets that have left bullet holes in businesses. Property rights are under threat, law-abiding gun owners are targeted while smuggled criminal guns flood our streets, and families struggle under a bloated bureaucracy and soaring cost of living.

This is not fine. It is the result of years of incompetence, ideological overreach, and a government that puts politics ahead of people.
To every British Columbian who wants better, I say this clearly: everyone is welcome in our movement. Whether you have voted Conservative, Liberal, or even NDP in the past, if you believe in safer communities, secure property rights, lower taxes, economic prosperity, and a government that serves the people rather than controls them, there is a place for you here.

This is a broad principled Conservative Party focused on results, not purity tests. I am committed to unifying our party and our province, drawing on my experience as a former federal Cabinet Minister who helped deliver lower taxes, reduced red tape, and returned to surplus. Together, we will defend freedom, unleash our resource economy, build a strong Western alliance, and restore hope and opportunity for every family.

British Columbians deserve a government that works for them. I am ready to deliver that change.

Join me. Let's build a better British Columbia for all of us.

[Caroline Elliott @NVanCaroline]

“Every investor in BC faces grave risk."

🚨 A multi-million dollar lawsuit has been launched against the BC Government after, without warning or compensation, it stripped a company of its mining rights in order to settle a separate legal dispute with a First Nation.

Shockingly, the government had actually *asked* the company to take on the mining project in the first place. Then, it negotiated away the company’s property rights in a backroom deal without involving or even telling them.

The NDP’s radical “reconciliation” agenda is a disaster for BC. Every minute they sit in government means more decisions like these get made.

And British Columbians pay for it: in lawsuits, in lost opportunities and in lost revenues as investment flees. We can’t get the NDP out of government soon enough.

I've shared my thoughts on the Iran deal, but I wanted to explain, in much more detail, what's at stake here.

I wrote an essay diving deep into what's happening, and why.

I hope you'll read it and find it helpful.

[BreeCropper @CropperBree]

@cj3636282847483 @Maximus_CTS @EricDLombardi Disagree with the social reject bit. Our kids got flip phones at 13, oldest a smart phone at 16, no socials until 16. All are very socially awesome & well rounded with sports, arts, etc.
I agree with you though that this is government overreach & I defend your parenting choice.

[BreeCropper @CropperBree]

@EricDLombardi Massive government overreach into family sphere decisions. We have 4 kids/teens, we don’t allow them on social media or smart phones until 16 as we take our parenting seriously. However, I defend other parents’ right to make the best decisions for their families, not government.

[Jamil Jivani @jamiljivani]

I have gladly sponsored a new petition in the House of Commons, calling on the federal government to end the perpetual creation of heritage months and days, and asking the federal government to instead focus on shared Canadian history and citizenship.

For a government big on communications over action, consider the message sent to the White House in the last week while the PM was in Europe:
- He mocked the President from behind a podium To a crowd.
- He asserted Canada has more in common with Europe than the US.
- He sent his industry minister to China to campaign for Chinese EVs despite concerns on both sides of the border.
July 1st is two weeks away. How do any of these actions help positively advance our most important trading relationship? #cdnpoli

[Adam Stirling 11am-3pm Weekdays @Adam_Stirling]

The darkest truth of the last decade, if it's true. I suspect we'll never know for certain.

An ideology that dragged an entire province of five million people into an unprecedented social experiment could never admit that they caused more deaths -- not even to themselves.

[BreeCropper @CropperBree]

@BenRabidoux I disagree. I think he’s going to be extremely cranky dealing with USMCA & needing an actual win at our expense to demonstrate the might of American negotiating power on the world stage after this pathetic real loss with Iran (plus upcoming midterms). Time will tell.

[David Keyes @DavidMKeyes]

I, too, have decided not to build nukes in exchange for $300 billion

[BreeCropper @CropperBree]

@damosuzuki1 @RichardHanania Okay. It will be interesting to see if they rent & for how much - Vancouver has a current rental vacancy rate of 3.7%, the highest since 1988. And rental prices have fallen 8% year over year. These $$$ micro-suites don’t even have parking so I’m curious if people will want them.
