    People would be foolish to vote for the fascist bc conservatives:

    4. Anna Kindy, candidate for North Island and former BC Conservative health critic donated to the Freedom convoy and participated in far-right, convoy-adjacent rallies outside the BC legislature with a group known for opposing public health measures and promoting far-right conspiracies. She has been featured as a speaker and made multiple appearances at an annual conference featuring key individuals and influencers involved in the Freedom Convoy, Maxime Bernier’s PPC and far-right politics in Canada where she extolled the benefits of natural immunity over “leaky” COVID-19 vaccines.
    5. Sheldon Clare, candidate for Prince George-North Cariboo, has previously been criticized for his “residential school denialism.” Clare has previously stated that residential schools actually created “opportunities” for Indigenous children. Saud municipal politicians should be “hanged”
    6. Lorne Doerkson, voted to repeal BC’s Human Rights Code, abolish the Human Rights Tribunal and terminate the BC Human Rights Commissioner. Repeal the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act as his top priority. Refused to elaborate on how he will “stand against hate.”

        The country as a whole is tired of things like the pronoun police, gender swaps, Truth ‘n Rec, mass immigration, and so on. You would have been more competitive if your side wasn’t so deeply focused on “social justice” and had more concern for the economy. We all need as much money as possible because the more money we each have, the better life we have.

        When a blue hair is more important than poverty, you will lose.

          I’m part of this country and I’m 100% not tired of those things. Money doesn’t make our lives better, working as a community makes our lives better. Cutting health care budgets like the conservatives said they are going to do isn’t going to make things better, it will make things worse. People will be struggling to find health care and those who can will have the quality decline, but hey some rich fuck somewhere will have more money so I guess by your metric things will be better.

          Money doesn’t help everyone. Money helps the rich.

            More money means a bigger house, more travel, better clothes, better car, access to private schools, and so on. A community doesn’t provide those things.

        You lot attempted to force progressive social policies on us like a rapist. Did you think we would just take it?

          On that same logic, you’re forcing regressive policies on us like rapist. Stop with the strawman.

          Despite any downvotes you get on this thought, it is the point that has been so consistently missed by progressive people. That cultural dominance, when applied forcefully will be ultimately rejected and replaced.

          However, I do not see that will be a lesson that conservatives can learn, either. That lot will do the same thing and eventually be replaced when they push it too far. Or do you somehow see your side as being able to become reasonable in how they treat others who are not like themselves?

          That’s the fundamental issue, not blue hair or SOGI or whatever it is you might believe. It’s simply that ‘others’ exist and don’t agree with you… that’s the same problem regardless of what side of it you’re on. Punishing the others is just a circular path to where we are once again.

      Some of us want 5, 6, 7, 8, and 11. Has that not occurred to you?

        Wanting any people to have less rights is a wild take.

        This kind of thinking comes from the idea that somehow, because those people are different from you, that you somehow have less because they have been granted anything.

        You know, this style of belief is why the billionaires have everything and we have nothing and they are laughing at us all.

      Thank you first-past-the-post voting system. Cons have only 11% more votes than the NDP but get more than twice the seats. We’re a fake democracy.

        The media loves to claim it’s a “majority” misleading voters of what actually occurred tonight thus manufacturing consent for reckless majority governments.

        What a load of bull our fake democracy is.
