I agree with much of what @RobShaw_BC says here, by I sure miss the days when there were editors who never would have let a sloppy lede like that get by (BC NDP got 37 per cent of the popular vote — hardly "nobody".) biv.com/news/commentary/rob-…

My terse hot take tonight is that @Dave_Eby FA and FO. And we'll all suffer the consequences. (Some far more than others.) - 30 -

Really disappointing to see the @bcndp so enthusiastically supporting private schools. Where are your values? #bcpoli

Hey guys! We need sleeping pads and yoga mats! We get funding to run a shelter but not for blankets, mats, pillows etc - we got a huge donation of blankets. All we need is pads. Let me know if you got some! @seanorr @PtFry @DeputyChow @VanFireRescue @Lucyincanada @oddfellowsent @vanpoli

Trevor Ford thought Sean Orr would be the anchor that dragged Pete Fry down. Instead, Orr was the wind beneath his wings. 😁 #vanpoli #vanelxn2026

I'm curious to know how one "repeals" an optional collection of age-appropriate learning resources. @Conservative_BC . Good grief. #SOGI #DogWhistle #bcpoli #bookbanning

Silver lining for @kareemformayor: He's almost doubled @marissenmark's 2022 percentage of the popular vote in the mayor's race Lesson for any future aspiring municipal politicians: if Mark's involved, run in the opposite direction as fast as you can

Patti Bacchus says @bcndp HQ told her they weren’t promising actual money for Iqra’s new school. David Eby, what exactly are you committing to? Families deserve a clear funding plan, not vague election promises. #SurreyCityCentre #BCPoli @bcndp @amnashahbc @pattibacchus @Conservative_BC

I am deeply honoured to announce that I have received the official endorsement of the Hon. Gordon Campbell for Vancouver-Quilchena. Gordon Campbell’s remarkable career defined modern British Columbia. He spent three consecutive terms shaping our city as the Mayor of Vancouver, before serving a decade as the 34th Premier of British Columbia. His commitment to strong economic management, infrastructure growth, and fiscal responsibility set the standard for leadership in our province. Thank you, Premier Campbell, for your trust and support. Let’s bring accountable government back to BC! Vote for the @Conservative_BC

I had a call today from @bcndp HQ clarifying they weren't promising actual money, (so just some vague pandering or some such.) Regardless, coming out in support of private schools is a terrible look for the NDP, IMO, when they've been so weak on the public education file. #bcpoli

Public funds should go the public schools, not private schools in politically sensitive ridings. What an appalling precedent in a province with so many seismically safe and inadequate public schools. I don't even recognize the @bcndp any more. bcndp.ca/releases/bc-ndp-com…
