MLA Amelia Boultbee did a midnight drop of this video. Apparently happened during the spring at the Grand Pacific Hotel? Dallas approaching Amelia.

Premier David Eby’s illogical pivot away from the campaign promises that mattered most to British Columbians — who only narrowly renewed his mandate — may explain his plummeting popularity, writes @vancolour.bsky.social. #bcpoli

Eby Made Promises That Connected. What Happened to Them? | The Tyee

Has BC’s premier forgotten his key campaign pledges on issues most important to voters? A logic check.

Eby Made Promises That Connected. What Happened to Them?

“Four months after the 2024 provincial election, the BC NDP began to memory-hole its own election platform.”

B.C. established minimum nurse-to-patient ratios. But are the ratios even being implemented?

Plus, Claire Rattée digs into the number of treatment beds we actually have in B.C.

ALSO, can I sue the government, @kylalee.ca?

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre comes wants to make sure everyone knows he's a full blown transphobe, in case there was any doubt.

He even included a shout out to JK Rowling. This hate should be disqualifying from any politician.

"women's rights advocate" go fuck yourself

Pierre Poilievre responds to news a nurse was fined for being virulently transphobic with the following: A nurse with a spotless track record gets fined and suspended for pointing out there are two genders, and for praising world renowned
author & women's rights advocate @jk rowling.
This is authoritarian censorship.
We must restore free speech and free thinking in a free country.

delighted to inform this person who is mad about an interview I gave on @vancolour.bsky.social almost a year ago that in fact, I do own property in B.C. and yes, I am still in favour of the legal recognition of Indigenous rights and title.

text of an email reading:

Hello Michelle,
Just watched a video posted approximately 11 months ago with you saying private owned property was not on the table with indigenous land claims.
Now you can see with the latest court ruling that what you said is totally wrong. John Rustad was right when he said it was an assault on property land owners in British Columbia.
The supreme Court may overturn this ruling however it definitely is an assault on private land owners.
I wonder if you were a property owner in British Columbia if you would still have the same opinion on indigenous land claims??
