The BC NDP is betraying indigenous people.

Conservative leader demands taxpayer money be wasted during an oil crisis.

People are so ignorant asking for Australia’s age verification. That’s basically asking Ottawa to take away their freedom.

Not the same but liberals happily meet up with magats.

You know what I mean by electrified rails of course it’s connected overhead.

The text of the bill

Defence — age verification or age estimation

7 (1) It is not a defence to a charge under section 5 that the organization believed that the young person referred to in that section was at least 18 years of age unless the organization implemented a prescribed age-verification or age-estimation method to limit access to the pornographic material made available for commercial purposes to individuals who are at least 18 years of age.

(d) collects and uses personal information solely for age-verification or age-estimation purposes, except to the extent required by law

pornographic material means any photographic, film, video or other visual representation, whether or not it was made by electronic or mechanical means, the dominant characteristic of which is the depiction, for a sexual purpose, of a person’s genital organs or anal region or, if the person is female, her breasts, but does not include child pornography as defined in subsection 163.‍1(1) of the Criminal Code. (matériel pornographique)

Sexualizing women’s breasts!?!? The senator is a prude.

Cyprus in Asia and French Guiana in South America be like 😳

Europe should be Canada’s largest trading partner.

11,352 people are experiencing homelessness in BC while Finland has 4,000 in 2023. Not to mention that our population sizes are very similar. It is indeed a policy failure.

Demand your provincial governments sign onto the national pharmacare plan!

8. Northwest Territories
9. Nunavut.

Susan Holt won’t left a finger to join the national pharmacare plan that would’ve saved families thousands annually.

circling the wagons

That phrase is problematic as it indicates “defending property from indigenous attackers” when it was the other way around when the settler wagons encroached upon their lands.

electric trains not really viable.

You’re trolling as Europe, China and Japan are covered in electrified lines. They work phenomenally.

Hydrogen trains are just a scam meant to keep fossil fuels in use longer.

all those fancy rails are just a maintenance nightmare, and much more energy intensive.

They’re actually cheaper to service. You’re just making up that last part.

Siberia has an electric railway and it’s doing fine.

People thought the national party would never relent for mixed-member proportional but it did, in 1997 New Zealand got electoral reform.

Just saved $75.88 this month thanks to the national pharmacare plan.

Thanks NDP and Jagmeet Singh! 🟠

Telus Stock: I’m in trouble!

Tara Armstrong needs to get kicked out of her seat. The riding deserves much better than a scammer.

Armstrong was elected as a B.C. Conservative in October 2024, founded the OneBC party with fellow MLA Dallas Brodie eight months later, then split from Brodie and OneBC in December.

Now sitting as an Independent, Armstrong unsuccessfully tabled a bill last month to repeal B.C.'s Human Rights Code, which protects against discrimination based on sex, gender, race and disability among other categories.

That was in response to a $750,000 fine imposed by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal against former school trustee Barry Neufeld, in a finding that he violated the code by publishing hate speech against LGBTQ+ people.

The campaign’s website says a petition application will be filed on April 20. If it’s approved by Elections BC, organizers would have 60 days to collect the necessary 18,000-plus signatures from eligible voters in the riding.

Elections BC says a recall petition must be signed by more than 40 per cent of the voters who were registered to cast a ballot in the riding in the last election.

“We have got already a volunteer team of over 100 people, and we have got locations already being offered for signing locations,” he said. “We have got over 50 people offering to be canvassers so far, and we haven’t even got a recall application in yet.”

Meanwhile BC increased funding for Libraries and now they have longer hours.

Four days ago, for the first time in Canadian history, a member of a legislature proposed a bill to repeal an entire Human Rights Code. And 36 other members of said legislature voted for the same. BC MLA Tara Armstrong attempted to introduce Bill M233, the Human Rights Code Repeal Act, which outright repeals the B.C. Human Rights Code and abolishes the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.

It’s fortunate that this bill didn’t make it anywhere close to third reading. Yet, what this bill entails is horrifying. This would mean that an employer could refuse to serve someone for being Black (just like in Christie v. York Corporation, a 1939 Supreme Court of Canada case upholding “freedom of contract”). It would mean that a business owner can refuse to sell their business to a woman because they are a woman. It means that a landlord can refuse to rent to someone because they’re Indigenous. And of course, it would mean that dehumanizing speech against trans people — speech that can make a workplace untenable or even lead to incitement to genocide, as exemplified so well in Chilliwack Teachers’ Association v. Barry Neufeld (No. 10) — will face no sanction by the State.

the notwithstanding clause is a five-alarm fire, this is even more unprecedented. It means regressing back to a vision of Canada consisting solely of a white, male, able-bodied, cisgender and heterosexual class that gets to participate in society, and everyone else, left by the wayside.

Yet, this isn’t isolated. The callous disregard for human life and human dignity can be seen across the world. Last week, Kansas (USA) took away the drivers’ license and birth certificate of every single one of its trans citizens, only permitting said IDs to contain sex assigned at birth — an obvious marker of transness — officially making trans people second-class citizens, akin to how the Nazis did so with Jewish people’s passports in 1938. And just over the weekend, the United States and Israel decided to launch an offensive war against Iran — one obviously motivated by imperialist interests more than anything else.
