Spot on @AndrewMercierBC
It was an absolute honour to be elected to the Alberta Legislature. Working on behalf of all my constituents, of every political stripe, was incredibly hard, amazing, exciting, and above all else, rewarding. I’ll be forever grateful for the opportunity.
Voters in Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke may be interested to know that when their Liberal candidate was an MLA in Calgary, she considered it a part time job. 🧵
@AndrewMercierBC She wasn’t re-elected in Calgary because she didn’t care about her constituents.
She jumped ship, went Liberal, and thought she can fool voters. Shame.

Why did ESS Liberal candidate Stephanie McLean donate to Poilievre when he was ahead in the polls?
Then when Carney got ahead in the polls she became a last minute Liberal candidate… #bcpoli
🧵On October 22nd of 2017, I finished my last bartending shift and began my first day as Premier Horgan's EA the very next morning. For the next 4 years I spent nearly every day with John. He loved telling the unlikely story of how I was hired, so I'm going to tell it.
NEW - David Eby has now met with Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin. She asked him to form the next government. This is the first time in BC’s history that the NDP have won a third consecutive term in office. #bcpoli
NEW - The BC NDP have formed a majority government in British Columbia. Garry Begg leads by 18 votes with just 21 votes left to count, winning the riding of Surrey-Guildford. This gives the NDP 47 seats. The result could be overturned following a judicial recount. #bcpoli
NEW - The BC NDP lead by 14 votes in Surrey-Guildford, flipping the seat the Conservatives led after the initial count. Special and absentee ballots are still being counted. If this holds the NDP will form a majority government. #bcpoli
Back in January, the leader of the B.C. Conservatives met with New Brunswick premier Blaine Higgs, who had introduced legislation requiring parental consent before students could use a different pronoun or name at school.
“The province has embraced a “vote anywhere model,” meaning if it is not safe or comfortable to reach their polling station, they can vote at any of B.C.’s 1,200 polling stations. For locations, they can go to Election BC’s website or call them at 1-800-661-8683.”

“The passing of the Declaration Act and the signing of Gaayhllxid • Gíihlagalgang “Rising Tide” Haida Title Lands Agreement could have only happened under government with courage and conscience to do what is right even as the 1st ones to do it” #bcpoli https://t.co/m2I2dnLyFa
UBCIC condemns the offensive comment shared by BCCP candidate Bryan Breguet. Such narratives ignore the historic and ongoing impact of colonization and systemic racism. Candidates should focus on justice reform and not on attacking racialized groups. #bcpoli
Psst... it's called supporting workers. the bcgreens platform lacks wage protections, union support, and gig worker protections. No mention of raising minimum wage or tying wages to inflation. When they had chance they voted against making it easier to join unions in BC. #bcpoli
