I will add that when he does resign, the party will collapse. The power vacuum will annihilate them and they will be fighting amongst one another well into the next provincial election.

Elizabeth Beacom @lizsec.ca · 5d

Rustad never should have had it to being with.

He capitulated to the absolute worst types of people in this province to consolidate power and the only reason his party has any seats was due to the epic collapse of the BC United party thanks to Kevin Falcon.

BC Conservatives marred by serial turmoil, internal ruptures

Elizabeth Beacom @lizsec.ca · 5d

One could argue he should have never had it in the first place.

Elizabeth Beacom @lizsec.ca · 5d

This demonstrates a high level of paranoia, distrust, and a complete lack of leadership ability.

The mentality that lead to witch trials 100s of years ago is alive and well in the conservative caucus.

Elizabeth Beacom @lizsec.ca · 5d

Totally normal behavior for a political party in a democratic society.

Whew, what a morning!

BC Conservative leader John Rustad confirmed to reporters that MLA phones were searched during a caucus meeting after concern about leaks

"Not every single MLA expressed interest, but the vast majority said, 'Yes, let's do this,'" Rustad said #bcpoli

Elizabeth Beacom @lizsec.ca · 5d

Just heard Poilievre talking about the northern pipeline and how it should go from Hardisty, I guess that's in his new riding?

To the coast in Kitimat or Prince Rupert, can some one give this guy a map of BC those two ports are VERY different.

B.C. Conservatives’ bold talk about conscience and courage crumbled the moment unity proved more valuable than principle

Still 40 votes too many supporting it on the first reading too.

Elizabeth Beacom @lizsec.ca · 6d

If you're against "antifa" you are the fascist... and yes you are the baddies.

Elizabeth Beacom @lizsec.ca · 6d

Now it's Bondi talking, and now full fascism on display.

Elizabeth Beacom @lizsec.ca · 6d

On my lunch break and CBC NN cut to Trump talking about "antifa" and what the actual fuck am I watching.

It's just rambling gibberish and no coherent train of thought.

Elizabeth Beacom @lizsec.ca · 6d

Yeah, our developers have been using GitHub actions and the .NET CLI.

At the very least I'm confident that AB's use of NWC with their trans sports ban as it stands is a violation of section 28. Girls sports are the only ones subjected to the scrutiny which is a breach of gender equality rights.

Elizabeth Beacom @lizsec.ca · 7d

I have some fundamental understanding of our constitution and charter and I'm curious is there a section 1 path to limitations on section 33? Nothing should be absolute.

Also, her attack of the SCC should be called out. Our judges are unelected and independent for a fucking good reason.

Elizabeth Beacom @lizsec.ca · 7d

Danielle wants to rage farm. I caught her on CBC P&P today and David really pinned her down on her use of the NWC and the sheer ignorance of statements on how suppressing minority rights because the majority voted her in, yet somehow the majority would vote her out for suppressing those rights too?

The Breakdown AB @thebreakdownab.bsky.social · 7d

B.C. Premier David Eby is clearly beyond frustrated with Danielle Smith's pipeline dreams threatening the B.C. economy.

In a fiery statement, he called her out directly stating...

"This is not the Danielle Smith show!"

The BC Legislature had a motion on the floor to condemn ARPA for their hateful advocacy against members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

The entire BC Conservative caucus were no shows at the vote. No representation, no integrity, no morals. Imagine this non-serious party being in power. #bcpoli

"Jail not bail" right, conservatives?

Toronto Star @thestar.com · 7d

“Freedom Convoy” leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber are expected to learn their sentences today nearly four years after the protest movement that blockaded downtown Ottawa for several weeks.

Convoy leaders Lich, Barber to be sentenced for mischief from 2022 trucker protest

The Crown asked for Lich to be sentenced to seven years in prison, and for Barber to be sentenced to eight years.

It's no secret I'm already a fan but this blurb is just spot on.

"Would you share some of your policies? Or tell me where you’re hoping to get a seat?" .... "Nope".

I had the sense he'd rather talk to people, not the media. The answers will come out, just not in a story.

Surprised to learn there is no such thing as Alberta oil and that it is actually Canada's oil.

I will never ever complain about the outrageous brokerage fees I've paid to UPS and FedEx when getting products shipped from the US.

$120 in fees for a $32 product is absolutely wild!

Adam Rose @adamrose.bsky.social · 11d

How bad are tariffs going?

I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business.

UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me.

That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

Screenshot of message from UPS:
