so you see, @PierrePoilievre, it IS possible to be on the other end of the political spectrum and still write a respectable NON-PARTISAN condolence to a premier who’s just passed. pp, you should be ashamed. you should also take notes from @JohnRustad4BC. #bcpoli
I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of John Horgan. John was not just a colleague in public service but a man of genuine warmth and integrity. Despite our political differences, I always held a deep respect for him as a person.
Throughout the years, I had the opportunity to interact with John on numerous occasions. His approachable nature and willingness to engage in open dialogue were qualities that I admired greatly. He had a way of making everyone feel heard, regardless of their stance or background.
John’s dedication to his family and friends was evident to all who knew him. He carried himself with a humility and kindness that transcended the political arena. His sense of humor and affable personality made conversations with him enjoyable, even when we stood on opposite sides of an issue.
On behalf of the Conservative Party of British Columbia, I extend my heartfelt condolences to John’s family, friends, and all who were touched by his life. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. John will be remembered not just for his role in politics, but for the genuine and compassionate man he was.
He will be greatly missed, and his legacy as a good man who cared deeply for others will live on. #bcpoli
@AleceAnderson seeing TMNT (assuming the 1990 one) on this list has me like this… 🥹
unfortunately, the only good ninja turtles movie. keep sharing the good stuff with the next generation. great job, alece!
both trump and musk interfered with this election. it’s pretty telling when they knew the results hours before they were confirmed. it’s pretty telling when musk said he’d likely go to jail if trump didn’t win.
they knew.
and not just the US, but the world will now suffer.
here’s what i think happened.
in 2020, trump felt the election was “stolen” from him even though it was proven no such thing happened.
BUT he wouldn’t let it go. as pathological liars do, they start believing all their lies are the truth.
in this 2024 election, trump knew he had to devise a plan to cheat because he was sure the dems would attempt to “steal the election” again. he partnered with musk and specifically, musk’s starlink satellites to get the upper hand.
My new favorite word: sonder.
It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know.
Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.
yes, the oilers were the better team tonight, but there’s no question in my mind that if the refs had called that trip by mcdavid on hughes, this game would’ve been very different. #canucks
and oh yeah, stuart skinner is a fuckin terrible goaltender. the fact there’s even a thought about having him on team canada shows just how awful the goaltending is in this country now. #LetsGoOilers
i’ve never been one to follow fashion trends (or any other trends for that matter). fashion is and always will be cyclical, so if i just stick with what i got, i’ll be “ahead of my time” and i would’ve saved a ton of money. 🤓
i’ve been saying this for years. those on the right do what’s best for themselves. everyone else considers what’s best for everyone.
an empathetic conservative/republican is an oxymoron.
@itswords_ yes! if they constantly ignore you, your love for them is unrequited. they prove they’re using your love to take advantage of you. they prove they’re using you for personal gain.
