@Slickcapper How old are you? Whatever age, it's time for you to grow up.

Surrey police board chair Harley Chappell resigns after chief Norm Lipinski ousted. Moving forward, headlines should read: Doug McCallum fails in bid to be reelected as Mayor of Surrey, B.C.

@Erva_00_1 Any hint of an appetite.

[Ramona Kaptyn @captainramona]

@ScotDavidsonMP Enough already. Please sit down.

[Ramona Kaptyn @captainramona]

@PierrePoilievre You rage the same over & over again. What are you expecting?

[Jennifer Whiteside 🇨🇦 @JM_Whiteside]

Kerry-Lynne Findlay deleted this video of Jordan Kealy endorsing her. Everyone knows they campaigned together, why is she trying to hide it?

We need her to speak up. She's failing her first real test.

@Averyflash @CTVVancouver @LindaAnnisBC You are the one, Judy, who posted the comment blaming Brenda Locke and your compared her to Alberta's Smith. My comment was aimed at you, not CTV.

[Ramona Kaptyn @captainramona]

@Averyflash @CTVVancouver You are not much of a fact checker, are you? Listening to and reposting @LindaAnnisBC comments (the wanna be mayor/photo opportunist) is not exactly what one calls giving all sides of the story. How about you interview the current Surrey Police Board?

[Ramona Kaptyn @captainramona]

@by__brittany @KerryLynneFindl Often, what people call "common sense" is really just "thinking and doing things the same way I do". As highlighted in Psychology Today, because people interpret the world differently, there is rarely universal agreement on what exactly constitutes common sense.

@WestJet @heynellyg WestJet took forever to leave Puerto Vallarta when I was there at end of January. Was late flying out of Vancouver to PV as well.

Caroline Elliot claims NDP/Press Progress is attacking her by implying Christianity is tied to extremism or “white supremacy.” I say religion should have no place in government — we’ve seen the damage caused when politics and religion mix. B.C. should reject that path entirely.

Let’s clear something up about MAID in Canada.

It does not apply to children. You must be 18 or older. Mature minors do not qualify. Full stop.

It does not apply to people simply because they are poor or struggling. To be eligible, you must have a serious and incurable illness, disease or disability, be in an advanced state of irreversible decline, and be experiencing intolerable suffering that cannot be relieved in any way you find acceptable. Financial hardship alone is not a criterion.

It is not a rubber stamp. Approval requires assessments by two independent practitioners who review your medical records and confirm you have seriously considered available treatment options. When death is not reasonably foreseeable, a minimum 90-day assessment period is required.

People whose only medical condition is a mental illness are not currently eligible either, that eligibility has been postponed to March 2027 while further safeguards are studied.

You can have moral or religious objections to assisted dying. That is a legitimate position held by a lot of Canadians. But spreading misinformation about what the law actually says is not an argument. It is just fearmongering. Know wtf you are talking about before you talk about it.

@anitahuberman The campaign had several 'leaders' - the prime one was Ivan Scott.

[Ramona Kaptyn @captainramona]

I am saddened to report that I recently learned of the death of Paul Daynes.

[Ramona Kaptyn @captainramona]

@TrendPolCa @PeterMilobar @KerryLynneFindl Worth the listen. Kerry-Lynne Findlay - really!?

[TrendingPolitics.ca @TrendPolCa]

PERSONAL: @PeterMilobar slams @KerryLynneFindl for insinuating that he has a conflict of interest for having an Indigenous wife.

[Ramona Kaptyn @captainramona]

@KerryLynneFindl Who wants federal style politics in B.C. led by Harper & Poilievre's sycophant? Raise your hand.

[Ramona Kaptyn @captainramona]

@IngrahamAngle You, Laura, probably can't even point out Europe on a map of the world.

[Ramona Kaptyn @captainramona]

@LindaAnnisBC at it again blaming Brenda Locke @MayorLocke for all that is wrong with @surreyps Surrey Police which is now in its 8th yr. of transitioning with still not enuf cops & rising extortion instances.

[Ramona Kaptyn @captainramona]

@LindaAnnisBC blaming Mayor Locke for many issues is negative, corrosive, campaigning—more aligned with mudslinging & character attacks than constructive leadership. This approach doesn’t demonstrate accountability or forward-looking problem-solving people expect from a leader.
