So far- we’ve got “everyone should have caught Covid” and “all gay people are pedophiles”
Trying to be normal isn’t going really well for ol’ Lone. The question is- will they do the right thing and drop these candidates or endorse these views and campaign on them? #bcpoli

You judge candidates in a party collectively, and I know Dion Weisner has some explaining to do if he knocks on doors in Vancouver’s West End.
I wonder what @HeatherMaahs thinks about her running mate?
Conservative candidate Heather Maahs has accused BC’s gay community of being pedophiles.
It's not about SOGI- it's open homophobia.
The BC Conservatives have accepted this for years. Tomorrow’s deadline gives Lorne Doerkson the opportunity to change that - if he cares.

Vaccine disinformation has a purpose. Discouraging vaccination has a measurable cost in lives, as well as on the economy & on functioning democracies. If you don’t believe this will impact Canada, just look south to see what it’s done to my home country
Anna Kindy stood outside the Legislature and said COVID vaccines aren’t safe, and getting COVID is better than getting vaccinated.
Vaccine misinformation made the pandemic worse and has led to Canada losing its measles elimination status.
Lorne Doerkson should fire her today.

And this is who the BC Conservatives want to name as their Health Minister?
That whole “we’re normal” thing rings hollow when you endorse candidates that actively encourage people to get COVID like it’s the chickenpox.

BC Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson has vowed to repeal SOGI, calling it a “lightning rod for division.”
@vancolour explains why he thinks that reasoning is just not good enough in today’s BC Election MOment, exclusively on Sitka Media 👇

You can bet that there is a public servant in BC that is about to get a letter from spiritsEUROPE about the @Conservative_BC promise on PST.
They are proving they aren’t ready to govern. I worked the liquor file- if we sneezed in the direction of CH2, we’d get a notice #bcpoli
I am once again reminding policy makers that unfair sales tax treatment is a direct violation of Chapter 2 of our Harper-Negotiated CETA deal with the European Union.
Why celebrate trade war with America by starting a trade war with the EU?

We’ve heard this story before.
Fees will be added and increased. Services will be cut.
Remember MSP premiums and bridge tolls?
“No new taxes” and “never raise taxes” are unambiguous, ambitious promises. Where have we heard them before? #bcpoli

Peter Milobar arguing for people to be allowed to flip housing every 6 month, tax free
BC Conservatives for flippers? Yeah I guess that fits
The NDP has already created a Cap Gain tax on sale of your primary residence. Goes to 0% at day 730 of ownership. However frame work there and Min at time confirmed that only a Cabinet order is needed to change timeline to get to 0%. Eby can change that to 7300 days with a stroke of a pen.

Conservatives try to scare people about this every election and it's just made up. The real story is that they want to scrap Eby's house flipping tax (that's the tax Peter is referencing here)

Since December 1, 2025, the Conservatives have had:
1. A Leader (until December 4, 2025);
2. An interim Leader (December 4, 2025 – May 30, 2026)
3. Another Leader (May 30 – September 20, 2026)
4. Another interim Leader (September 20, 2026 – present)
This chaos is on the BC Cons
You do not get to call an election after the leader of the opposition resigns, and then campaign on the fact that the interim leader is an interim leader.
The media should be deservedly merciless at this presser.

Gavin - don't do this. This is someone obviously sick & extremely vulnerable. Who knows what else she's been through. Fight for what you think is right, but take this down. We can debate the path forward and the tools to use, but this isn't it
Do better here. This is a person.

I remember close to Christmas seeing David Eby w/ his mom dropping off food at a foodbank donation bin inside a grocery store near Jericho Canadian Forces Base in Kitsilano. Quietly, when no one (but me) was watching, no fanfare, no so-called 'journalist' present. #bcpoli #BCelxn
Interviewed @LDoerkson just now. He’s sitting in former MLA Donna Barnett’s kitchen to use her wifi for interviews on his way to deliver truck full of items to Clinton food bank.
Said he’s “appalled” Eby keeps using wildfire metaphors when snap elxn has shut down services for ppl

Conservatives when not in power will always demand and do everything they can to try to force an election.
They will then complain bitterly about it as soon as one is called.

“I thought Lorne was the kind of guy that with a handshake, he was pretty straight-forward, and you could trust. I feel totally used. He used me to get credibility in the riding. That’s not a loyal person. I trusted him.”

It’s totally crazy what the BC cons are doing to their donors and supporters.
This seems totally unconstitutional.
What even was the point of removing one leader and Holding a leadership election for another, if the board can just appoint a permanent leader ??
I was kicked out of the Conservative Party of BC today.
Now the board wants to change the constitution so a leader never elected by the membership won’t have to face them in a leadership race.
So much for grassroots democracy.
