I am blown away by the tremendous support I’ve received in response to the news that the @BCNDP will vote on my disqualification from the leadership race.

NDP members, join me to tell the party that ending the leadership race is a mistake. https://t.co/epRy9WoN5F #bcpoli 🧵/1

@Salvetinaa @ryanlpainter @Vote4VIVA The immigrant perspective in our school district is very needed! We need to hear your stories. You need to respect people though. Trust that there are other experiences and stories you don’t understand.

🧵1. A post on FB…

“I am 14 and I’m struggling in algebra class. When I ask for help, the male teacher says, ‘I’m not surprised girls aren’t that good at algebra’.

I am 18 and go to my first fraternity party with girlfriends…

@emma_goldwoman Thanks Emma. While campaigning, I thought woah Victoria you are much more close minded than I gave you credit for. But it was just my rainbows attracting the hate. Victoria is alright.

@reegan_mack Mae I love your use of family values. Isn’t it wonderful that Victoria resoundingly supports those family values. After experiencing so much hate these last few weeks, I am so relieved to learn that SOGI is resoundingly supported.

[Jennifer Foster (she/her) @joyfulschools]

@CalloEsther You are an exceptional speaker and a queer ally. I was rooting for you!

[Jennifer Foster (she/her) @joyfulschools]

@JordanWatters_ Thanks for all your support! Your dedication is unwavering.

[Jennifer Foster (she/her) @joyfulschools]

AND 7613 people voted for this gal and the ideas I was ready to bring to the table. That’s not nothing. I had a blast in the campaign trail—here’s to joyful schools.

Hoping to see @anarchistfish @SachaForSD61 @hellodaphna in the 2026 race and for beers frequently until then. :)

[Jennifer Foster (she/her) @joyfulschools]

@hellodaphna You are a trustee in my heart.

[Jennifer Foster (she/her) @joyfulschools]

Waiting for the bus (it’s free today) and I ask someone if they had a chance to vote. He said yes with a thumbs up. :) I introduced myself and he said “I voted for you! I really like your message of joy.”
