UVic NDP

University of Victoria's NDP Club. We proudly represent the #NDP and #BCNDP on campus and around the South Island.

Carole James has spent years serving BC as a school trustee, MLA, Leader of the BCNDP, and Minister of Finance.

We are saddened by her diagnosis & we admire her bravery and her strength to continue as Minster of Finance for the remainder of her mandate.

[Amelia Boultbee MLA @amboultbee]

I mean the conservatives are currently unelectable. They have brought into the legislature more alleged wife beaters and sexual assault perpetrators and credible if not proven allegations of cheating, they’re obstructionist, cannot/will not vet their staff and are dangerously teetering to people whose interests are not in this province or good for our country. I campaigned to take down David Eby but I find myself unable to safely advocate for this opposition bench to have any power. They’re dangerously incompetent and totally under aware with the exception of very few. It’s distressing. I’d never worry that one of the NDP MLAs or their staff was committing violent crimes or seriously perpetuating a fraud. I’d ask any of them to walk me home or have confidential information on me or my constituents anytime before I trusted the opposition bench.

[BC New Democrat Caucus @BCNDPCaucus]

John Rustad and the BC Conservative Caucus hosted an event at the Legislature where these materials were distributed.

Access to the abortion pill is provincially funded. This is disturbing.

Even Conservative MLAs are calling this out. Will @JohnRustad4BC apologize? #bcpoli

[Darlene Rotchford, MLA Esquimalt-Colwood @drotchford_BC]

John Rustad approved his MLAs to do two elected jobs at the same time - and collect two paychecks from taxpayers.

Being an MLA should mean giving 100%. Why does Rustad think it’s ok for his MLAs to do less? #bcpoli

[David Eby @Dave_Eby]

We knew this was going to be a close election, but we’ve been here before. BCers support our fair election process and the people at Elections BC making sure every vote gets counted.

Thanks to candidates, volunteers & election workers who make democracy work.

[Hermender Singh Kailley @HKailley75]

@CCurrieadvocate @BCGreens @bcgeu @bctf @BCNursesUnion Your party literally blocked legislation to make it easier for workers to join a Union during the minority government. A platform alone isn’t going to get anything done for workers. We’ve been at the table with the last government fighting for better outcomes for workers in BC.

[Caelen Cook @CookCaelen]

In a now deleted tweet, BC Conservative candidate @brettcfee endorsed Brent Chapman's racism and hate.

Is Sandy Hook denialism supposed to be a reason to vote Conservative?? #bcpoli

[UVic NDP @UvicNDP]

Unbelievable.

[Spencer Chandra Herbert @SChandraHerbert]

An important watch: Rustad's star candidate Yuri Fulmer is openly pushing tax breaks for the top 2%.

The tax rate he's talking about here is the top bracket - everyone else in BC pays the lowest income taxes in Canada.

This is important for unpacking Rustad's agenda. 🧵

[Matt Hannah 🍁 @mattjdh]

Rustad’s latest conspiracy theory: climate change is an attempt to “reduce the world population.”

You couldn’t make this stuff up #bcpoli

[BC NDP @bcndp]

We will deliver $1,000 in immediate relief for your family.

John Rustad’s tax scheme would leave people waiting until 2029 for any real relief. That’s too little, too late for families struggling right now.

[Baltej Singh Dhillon @BaltejSDhillon]

I am gravely concerned. John Rustad is saying he will direct police to ignore federal gun laws in British Columbia. He’s playing politics with public safety. 1/

[UVic NDP @UvicNDP]

The BC Conservatives are Trump loons. #bcpoli

[Ravi Parmar @rparmar_BC]

John Rustad's candidates are promoting two shocking pro-Trump conspiracies.

They think the Jan. 6 insurrection was a hoax by Democrats to frame Trump, and that Biden stole the last election.

See for yourself:

[Adrian Dix @adriandix]

It's shocking to see John Rustad validate the crackpot conspiracy that the COVID-19 data was inflated to make the pandemic look worse. This was the same meeting where he said he regretted getting the vaccine and attacked Dr. Henry for using it as "control on the population. 1/2

[Ravi Kahlon @KahlonRav]

Free votes sound like a nice idea, John. But in practice this means letting your crazy candidates pass laws and vote however they want.

Here are some of the people you’re handing the keys to. 1/

[Caelen Cook @CookCaelen]

Rustad is more interested in fringe conspiracy theories than real solutions to the problems people are facing.

He thinks vaccines don't work and that $4.1 billion in healthcare cuts would make things better. #bcpoli

[Diana Gibson @Diana_Gibson_BC]

I heard at the door from a single mother struggling with the cost of diabetes medicine. The BC NDP is making a difference for families by helping with medical costs. We can't risk Rustad cutting again. So much is at stake. Help us to keep helping families, vote NDP in October.

@NinaKriegerBC @Rob_Fleming Go Nina!

[Nina Krieger @NinaKriegerBC]

So great to join my friend @Rob_Fleming at the UVSS Club Days at UVIC, to engage in important discussions with students, hardworking union representatives, and so many others about the future of BC! Thank you, also, to the @UvicNDP for spending time with me!

[Grace Lore @GraceALore]

Hey @timthielmann - care to specify which of my racialized or women colleagues you think aren’t qualified?

Pretty wild way for the Conservative running in my riding to defend his party against concerns of racism?

@CaelemSG Thanks Caelem!
