Today's the day, BC.
I'm heading into the downpour of an atmospheric river
(made more likely & more severe by the climate emergency, in which marginalized folks are most vulnerable)
to fight back against climate denial, transphobia and racism.
LET'S GET OUT EVERY LAST VOTE!
Rustad refuses to take action against racist BC Con candidates. They don't show up for public forums. They are using racism as a distraction. They are scapegoating to avoid their responsibility & lack of policy. Fear tactics are not new. You can stop it. Don't vote for racists.
As a landlord and future lawyer, the outcome tonight will be a win/win. Either I get rich (at the expense of the less fortunate) under the Conservatives, or we all get a competent government under the BCNDP. I chose competent government when I voted
Your vote matters, and never has the choice been so stark:
If you want to protect our universal, public healthcare system, not privatize or cut it.
If you want to take action on climate change, not deny the science behind it.
David Eby and the BC NDP are on your side.
@SyntheticusAlt I VOTED NDP and glad to do so. Politics are NOT BROKEN Conselfserves serve themselves while disregarding the democracy they are living in.That is what is broken CONS using democracy but looking after the 1%.
There’s been lots of talk about B.C. Conservatives getting a bump from being affiliated with federal Conservatives.
Except they’re not.
It seems not even Pierre Poilievre wants to endorse @JohnRustad4BC and his problematic band of conspiracy theorists, racists and flip-floppers.

Bringing this back up to the top of your inbox because it seems like maybe you missed it?
THE TOXIC DRUG CRISIS IN BC IS GETTING BETTER. THE THINGS WE’RE DOING ARE HELPING.
👆 Since the drug crisis has been front and centre during this election cycle, with a lot of you blaming the current government for it starting in the first place and for getting worse (completely moronic opinions, not actually based on evidence btw), I REALLY thought news of this significant improvement would be important.
NOPE. You hardly took any notice.
I GUESS YOU’D RATHER BELIEVE THE LIES THAN USE CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
🤯🤯🤯

BIZARRE. A year ago, B.C. Conservative candidate for #SurreyCloverdale@ElenoreSturko was defending SOGI. She said “as a parent, & member of the LGBT community” it was important to her that misinformation be corrected.
THIS WEEK, SHE’S THE ONE SPREADING MISINFORMATION ABOUT SOGI 👉 The graphic novels she strangely posted on this platform with no context or explanation (see below) are NOT part of the SOGI toolkit for K-12 schools. They are NOT being used by teachers to “sexualize children.”
SOGI stands for sexual orientation and gender identity. Note: we ALL have a sexual orientation and gender identity. SOGI 123 is a program that provides public resources on policies, inclusive strategies, and teaching content designed to reduce bullying and foster respect and inclusion for all students.
➡️ A new report out of UBC finds it has been effective in reducing violence and discrimination, even for heterosexual students.
⭐️ YES, I’m a dad — and yes, I DO want my kids to learn about respect and inclusion. No, I’m not worried SOGI will sexualize them … you know what kids can find on the Internet right? I’d much rather they receive evidence-informed content from trained educators. ⭐️
@Conservative_BC wants you to think SOGI is “dangerous activist ideology.” It’s not. As noted by a group of doctors in Northern B.C. this week, it’s an important resource that helps lower rates of suicide and mental health challenges in youth.
The screenshots posted here by Elenore (which I’ve obscured to avoid X moderation) are from graphic novels/memoirs by queer authors. AGAIN, THEY ARE NOT PART OF SOGI. This lie is being spread by anti-LGBTQ conspiracy theorists to incite anger and score votes.
WHY IS ELENORE PARTICIPATING IN THIS ATTACK ON GAY & TRANS KIDS?
So disappointing. She knows better than this ☹️

@GeorgeinVic $5000.00 meet and greet Christy Clark, at a winery for developers and corporate special favours is what you are all about Talk about CONS !
BC Women take note: #BCPoli#VanPoli
The BC NDP covers prescription contraception + early-detection of cervical cancer. They’ve committed to covering IVF + improving maternity care. They’re committed to the full spectrum of women’s reproductive health.
I'm not letting this get swept under the pile of bullshit we hear from Poilievre, Conservative parties across the country, and MSM every single day.
Connect the dots and you'll see how dangerous this is for all Canadians.
#PierrePoilievreMustResign#NeverVoteConservative
John Rustad would get rid of rent control – letting landlords raise rents as high as they want. This would force seniors and many others out on to the street.
He is a risk we can't afford
Back in June, my BC Conservative counterpart said candidates could be disqualified for social media posts "that are inconsistent with the values of the party." So that means Chapman's posts ARE consistent with the party's values? Guess so, since John Rustad still won't fire him.
