It's becoming clear that a lot of folks in the @bcndp don't see a fundamental problem with a former oil and gas lobbyist recommending which candidates should be allowed on a party ballot.

Heads up YVR: if you want to channel some rage there’s a group of people heading to the BC NDP office this afternoon to show some solidarity. 📍 34 W 7th Ave
@AnjaliApp Also, I've talked to her several times. She's very impressive. Bright, articulate, well-reasoned. Her health & climate platforms were strong. @AnjaliApp could easily be a high-level NDP MLA. She may represent the future. And that she can't fit into the NDP should worry the NDP.
The @bcndp is about to disqualify @AnjaliApp from their leadership race. Doing so would divide our party & undermine our democratic process.
Have your say about the importance of democracy & healthy debate: https://t.co/9qtJ4pzJBW
#LetHerRun
People (re)joined in masses to support a candidate that inspired us, gave us hope.
The movement behind Anjali isn’t going anywhere. We’re members now. And we’re going to fight harder than ever.

NEW - BC NDP Leadership Chief Electoral Officer Elizabeth Cull is recommending Anjali Appadurai be disqualified from the leadership race to replace John Horgan. If the provincial council approves the recommendation tomorrow, David Eby will become BC’s next premier. #bcpoli
I wish news outlets, especially ones that “swim against the current”, would quit claiming Eby’s victory as obvious. If you haven’t noticed, Anjali’s giving the establishment a real shake.
#bcpoli#bcndp
When a newly appointed Attorney General David Eby was mandated to reform B.C. lobbying, he’d close a key loophole for consultant lobbyists, requiring them to report targets they contacted.
That wasn’t nearly enough, explains @donald_gutstein. #BCPoli

tl;dr The stream of headlines about investigations into @AnjaliApp and @dogwoodbc is a combo of sensationalism and bare-knuckle politics.
What we're witnessing is not a scandal, but a political narrative. A strategy. It's driven by those genuinely afraid that Anjali can win.

Like a lot of people, I've spent the past week reeling over the #FreedomConvoy and what it says about the current state of the Left.
People know the system is rigged against them. It's up to us to organize them behind a new story of how it's rigged.

“These blockaders are taking away the freedom of other people to move their goods and themselves...that is wrong and the government has laws and tools in place to combat it,” said @PierrePoilievre#cdnpoli
Forests and habitat have been decimated on such an enormous scale it's changed how wildlife interact - pushing caribou to extinction.
We've blamed wolves and killed them for it, all so we can avoid reckoning our shameful & exploitive ways.

No amount of "preparedness" strategies will ever be able to undo this harm. This is the living nightmare we fight to prevent. There is no coming back from this.

‘Oil spill sprays crude into Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest’
That’s according to Indigenous activists, who shared footage of oil spraying from a ruptured pipeline.
Imagine how much freedom you have to cause this much chaos and law enforcement doesn’t:
beat you
harass you
pepper spray you
pull you by your hair
send attack dogs after you
point snipers at you
transport you in dog crates
This list can go on. https://t.co/YLHMzhvQJ1
