True North Eager Beaver Media (he/him/Mr Beaver)

Incisive (centrist/progressive) commentary on 🇨🇦 Canadian politics and culture with a focus on media and political literacy.

Facts First.

Now this, is a freaking brilliant initiative

[Cranky Canuck 🤘🥶 @crankycartoons]

I've been asked what Ice-Cold Intel actually does.

This.

Most news aggregators count logos. We're counting voices. At first glance this looks like 17 independent outlets covering a story. In reality, some belong to the same media chains syndicating the same content across multiple properties.

Less noise. More signal. 🥶

Sim! Sim! Sim!

Everything was indicating that Bolsoñaro was set to win

Hours before the vote, they were convinced the victory was theirs

But Brazilians resisted U.S. interference and handed IQ47 another international loss

First Nations stood up for Canada

Now, let's make sure we stand up for them

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

A special thank you to the First Nation, Métis and Inuit people who showed up in record numbers to help save Canada!

We are all so deeply grateful for Indigenous communities and the extraordinary contributions they bring to our province and country.

@JSJamato All true...

And that's not all she did...

According to the Globe and Mail editorial team, she allegedly even focus-tested questions, including the one on Separation (which would means the question – or something close to it – would have had to be chosen back then)

Albertans aren’t fooled — Canadians aren’t fooled.

The $200M separation vote is the fault of Danielle Smith and the UCP.

She changed the laws to ensure a referendum, she’s fighting First Nations in court, she wrote the question & signed the order. #ableg #cdnpoli

[True North Eager Beaver Media (he/him/Mr Beaver) @TrueEager]

😂

Totally predictable

The only thing they hate more than a moderate Canada, is each other

Coming soon to a BC government-designate near you?

After all...

@LDoerkson is JUST interim leader

And the prize just got bigger...

Watch your back, premier-designate

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

So...

The Alberta Prosperity Project has allegedly lost control of their digital assets and branding and it is in the hands of Mitch Sylvestre and Jeff Rath...

But wait!

There's more!

Interesting BC election tidbit

https://t.co/y0RsbhZuYC

[Ben O'Hara-Byrne @Ben_oharabyrne]

The @Conservative_BC actually received 50,000 fewer votes than in 2024 (but won 20 more seats) because the @bcndp vote dropped by 275.000 (29%) while the @BCGreens got 23,000 more votes than last time (+13%) - still some ballots to be counted.

FILE UNDER: Tweets That Won't Age Well

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Bravo BC!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What a great day for beautiful British Columbia, and all of Canada!

The worst government in Canada, and in BC history, has been completely repudiated.

David Eby’s divisive, hard left politics of envy kicked to the curb.

And a principled, serious, renewed Conservative Party given a huge mandate for change!

What a great sequel to Albertans’ rejection of separatism. Now we’ll have these two western powerhouses, plus Saskatchewan, aligned to build Canada into a global energy and resource super power! 🇨🇦💪🏼

[True North Eager Beaver Media (he/him/Mr Beaver) @TrueEager]

@jkenney @One_BCHQ NEVER FORGET (because he does):

When Mr Kenney spent all that time founding/running to lead the UCP (while collecting a federal paycheque), HE BUILT THE ASYLUM into which he united with "the crazy right populist faction"

He punches down on it now, but he politically fathered it

[True North Eager Beaver Media (he/him/Mr Beaver) @TrueEager]

This might be the best part of this election

Let OneBC die

It served absolutely no societal purpose of value, whatsoever

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

A lot of the recent drama on the right in BC came from a crazy right populist splinter party, @One_BCHQ.

Made up of self styled “real conservatives” with the usual assortment of weird obsessions & conspiracy theories: vaccines, ostrich farms, chem trails, xenophobia, MAGA North, all communicated with the volume nob stuck on 10.

Basically the BC counterpart of hard core Alberta separatist activists, or Bernier’s @peoplespca.

Tonight they’re at 1.4% of the vote, after two years of being a hugely divisive distraction on the right of BC politics.

Yet another reminder to Conservative parties: ignore the crazy fringe of the hard populist right. Don’t let the tail wag the dog. Let them stay in their little fringe parties.

Being a principled conservative party does not mean pandering to incoherent, perennially angry populism. Instead, propose bold, thoughtful policy reforms rooted in conservative principles that appeal to the broad mainstream. Just like the @Conservative_BC did in this winning campaign.

[True North Eager Beaver Media (he/him/Mr Beaver) @TrueEager]

@stustin Whoops!

That was supposed to be Jason Kenney's tweet... Not yours...

😂

Next to fix that.

[True North Eager Beaver Media (he/him/Mr Beaver) @TrueEager]

Of the three parties, whether you would agree with her ideas or not, she ran the best, and most interesting, campaign of the BC Election and won the debate

[guyfelicella🇨🇦🍁 @guyfelicella]

This is AWESOME news! 💚

BC Green Party leader Emily Lowan has won her riding!

Emily will be an incredible voice for the people of British Columbia, and I'm excited to see her bring her passion, compassion, and determination to the Legislature.

BC needs more voices like hers! 💚👏

[True North Eager Beaver Media (he/him/Mr Beaver) @TrueEager]

Since Canada walked away from trade talks, IQ47 has:
- backed off on cultural issues
- reduced lumber tariffs from 45 to 35%
- TACOed himself on going after Bombardier
- Twice swapped tariffs to help Maine Sen. Susan " I'm very concerned" Collins

Keep waiting

It's working

Ambassador Doucheface must be taking inspiration from Premier McFib's (aka @ABDanielleSmith) Maple MAGA government

She constantly yells at everybody else to stay in their lane, while she swerves like a drunkard through the lanes of everyone else...

[Flavio E. @FlavioEvan]

Funny how 'stay out of our politics' only ever seems to apply southbound at the border. Also worth reminding our American friends that 'Conservative' doesn’t translate the same way up here. Disagree with them or not, traditional Canadian conservatism (mostly) is still built on fiscal policy and institutions, not a personality cult, vaccine-to-crocodile conspiracies, imaginary transoceanic swimming caravans, or blaming the housing crisis on washroom signs.

[Tyler Meredith @tylermeredith]

A thought for all the campaign staff on the BC NDP, Con and Green teams.

Politics is a volatile and unpredictable business. 8 weeks ago none of this was imaginable. And those in government had “secure” jobs.

Things change on a dime and you all pivoted into campaign, left your families for an intense battle over competing visions.

And now some will lose jobs and others will gain them. It can seem unfair and sudden (and it is) but that’s what the people decide.

Know that even though you are all doing political jobs - you too are public servants. We don’t say that enough but it’s true.

Our democracy depends on well functioning political parties and the staff who make that happen.

Thank you all for your service, whether you won or lost.
