Democracy requires an educated population and an independent press, not MAGA and Postmedia. We are doomed unless we fix this. Nonpartisan centrist living in the Comox Valley.
As a veteran (21 years Regular CF) I’m disgusted anyone would disrupt a Remembrance Day ceremony.
As a communications professional I’m stunned by anyone thinking this is a good strategy.
Never do this, and never protest at a politician’s home or go after their family.
It makes you look horrible.

My MP is Aaron Gunn, a far-right SM influencer who has praised Trump, Putin & Musk. He’s my MP cuz this LPC candidate split the vote in a riding that hasn’t gone LPC in over 50 years.
I’m nonpartisan & vote strategically. Can someone explain to Jen how another vote split will benefit only the CPC?

Maybe we’re reading too much into this, but moderate centre-right BC Conservative MLA (and friend of Elenore Sturko) Brennan Day just changed his profile pic from him and John Rustad walking together to this.

Aaron Gunn-racist, bigot, Putin and Trump fan-is my MP.
He’s got a massive SM presence and posts a lot of garbage like this, which is grossly factually incorrect but appeals to his uneducated, unintelligent base.
Canada, we have a democracy problem when people like this are 1 election from power.

My BC Conservative MLA (Brennan Day) spent the day hanging out with fellow BCC MLA Warbus and Elenore Sturko, recently punted from the party, then posted this.
If this isn’t a big Fuck You to John Rustad from the old BC Liberal wing of the party, I don’t know what is. #BCpoli

You don’t need a history degree (which I have) to understand that #NDTR is not “anti-Canadian” or “lies.”
This loathsome woman is closely tied with the leadership of both the BC and federal Conservative Parties, and her ‘True North’ organization has been a registered charity since 1994.

I’m glad Poilievre and the CPC are taking this position.
Because it is a terrible political calculation on the CPC’s part, with the majority of Canadians in favour of a two state solution and against both Hamas and current Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank.
It’s a net positive vote loser, PP

Remember Stockwell Day? For a while 25 years ago, he could have been PM.
Now he’s a traitor to Canada, eulogizing Charlie Kirk with a bunch of absolute #MapleMAGA RWNJs in an excess of maudlin hagiography.

In a fit of petty rage I messaged the US Embassy Ottawa today to express my displeasure at their Ambassador, a truly loathsome little man.
Did it accomplish anything? No.
Did it make me feel a little bit better? Yes.

I’ve plotted how I would like Cat 5 Hurricane Erin to change course: right over Mar-a-Largo, then over a bunch of loser Red states like Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, etc, then a second strike over Mar-a-Lago to ensure that fucker is deep sized forever, then safely out over the Atlantic. 🤞

Here’s the air quality around here right now due to wildfires. South of me it’s 497 out of a max of 500: extremely hazardous to all living things.
We are in climate collapse.
Stop promoting data centres, AI and oil pipelines for fucks sake.

It’s sunny AF right now and BC is generating almost nothing from solar, but we are importing dirty power from AB.
@bcndpcaucus.bsky.social get your shit together. Start investing in rooftop solar now, something you should have done 8 years ago.

While Elon Musk continues to subvert democracy and his Grok AI tool actually praises Hitler on X, the city I live in continues to post on X. What the hell? There is absolutely no excuse to still be on that site. @melanievi.bsky.social @wendiloo.bsky.social

I don’t ever want to hear a politician publicly praying for anything. Do that in private if you want, but I want to hear policy and operational solutions, not faith.

Check out temperatures here in the Comox Valley over the last 90 years. This is why our glacier will be gone soon.
And yet the stupids here still whine about climate change being fake.

Our birthrate has been well below the replacement rate since the early 1970s. Without immigration our population would have dropped.
Iran’s is almost entirely due to domestic births due to lack of birth control.

My BC Conservative MLA often posts criticism of the city government where I live, but strangely he never posts criticism of the other 3 municipal govts in his riding.
(He failed twice to be elected to Council here.)
Doesn’t he understand prov versus muni responsibilities?

Because some of the local Chamber were colluding with him, and it just got blown wide open.
I’m pretty sure that’s illegal election interference so I’ll be filing a complaint with Elections Canada ASAP.

Spent a while perusing the CPC “costed” platform. Utter nonsense: some measures already in place, others utterly unrealistic. Most importantly, math that is often 100% bullshit.
This is the “costed” platform of a serial liar who would destroy the Canadian economy, just like his hero to the south.
