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.
