This is so disgusting. Especially during Pride Month. We (Canadians) need to be actively accepting queer refugees from the US.

Woot! Almost 10,000 signatures. Requiring MPs to get mandatory security clearances is striking a nerve! #canpoli #cdnpoli

B.C. residents spend more than $155 million annually at farmers markets. and... Recent research from Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia shows that, in a time of “greedflation,” farmers markets have seen smaller price increases than grocery stores. thetyee.ca/News/2025/06...

Sounds like staff knew the property was in the ALR but didn't understand the definition of "passive recreation" 🤦‍♀️🤦 www.westerlynews.ca/news/how-did... #ALR #bcpoli

It's not often that I get to tear into both the #BCNDP & the #BCConservatives on the same show. Check out the Early Edition's Politics Panel: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... #bcpoli

Fascinating, scary & horrifying. Some insights into the manosphere and what draws young men there and keeps them returning. metaviews.substack.com/p/190-libidi...

Rushing mine approvals could lead to the next big mining disaster. New BC laws #Bill14 #Bill15 could weaken enviro oversight & threaten public safety. Prioritizing development must not come at the expense of necessary standards or community input. Our full reaction: wcel.org/media-releas... #bcpoli

Woke up feeling sick about what the BC NDP did last night. Rage and dread. The massive powers Eby just appropriated—and when he's voted out the Cons will inherit those powers, which violate DRIPA & evade environmental assessment. The sheer authoritarian power grab of it. Dystopian. #Bill15 #bcpoli

Thank-you MP @gordjohns.bsky.social! This is why we continue to need parties like the NDP and Greens in parliament.

Petition to mandate that all MPs are required to get a security clearance + increase transparency to prevent foreign interference. Sign & Share please www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #canpoli #cdnpoli

As much as I dislike the BC NDP, the BC Conservatives are far worse. Besides being a party of bigots and conspiracy theorists, they think it’s ok to represent the province AND a municipality at the same time, a clear conflict of interest. 🤦🏻‍♂️ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

My family and I created Comox Valley Wildlife Sightings 10 years ago today! Thanks for being with us on here and look forward to growing and building a community here too 🖤🤍 #whales #landbasedwhalewatching #whalewatching #wildlife #nature #vancouverisland #canada

NEW - Bill 15 - which will fast track public and private infrastructure projects - has passed in the legislature, 47 to 46 with the Speaker breaking the tie. First Nations leaders have vowed to fight the bill in court. Former NDP cabinet minister Melanie Mark has come out against. #bcpoli

Thank-you @soniafurstenau.bsky.social for raising the alarm. Can we just call the #BCNDP Conservative light now?

Wrote my MLA to ask how they think they have the mandate to pull this when they barely even won the election, and that's me asking as someone who VOTED for them.

Premier Eby is being called a "snake-oil salesman" by BC First Nations because of the lack of collaboration and consultation around Bill 15. "Trust us bro" is not cutting it. #bcpoli #KillBill15 @bcgreens.bsky.social www.todayinbc.com/news/bc-ndps...

The new federal housing minister wants to see affordable housing but doesn't want house prices to fall? How does that work? Currently, it does not. We have the highest home prices (indexed) of all the G7 countries. #canpoli #cdnpoli

Some much needed conversations for our community #comoxvalley #opiods #communitycares #bcpoli

Is the BCNDP's compulsion to expand LNG tying electricity consumers to ever increasing prices? Not something the government is talking about openly. #bcpoli #bcgreens www.theenergymix.com/b-c-s-lng-dr...

That type of leader seems to be actively repressed by the current guard in the federal NDP.

Such an interesting analysis of what’s happening within the NDP right now. Some pretty nefarious moves. Worth a listen.

MLA's like Brennan Day should stay in their lane, like when he waded into the Federal Election, supporting his white nationalist pal Aaron Gunn. Which when he saw the backlash says "I didn't authorize my signature on that letter of support" #bcpoli #Courtenay www.mycomoxvalleynow.com/107969/news/...

I love that this got to happen in my community and that the target audience wasn't your typical group for coding. #comoxvalley

We need some good news

B.C. is looking at importing electricity from the United States because of a low snow pack. What caused the diminishing snowpack, year-over-year? That would be climate change. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is a very important conversation for our community.

The tomfoolery that is going on in the Premier’s office will require NDP MLAs to show a backbone and stand up to the concentration of power. Who will be brave enough? #bcpoli @bcgreens.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/adampols...

Sounds like all the lawsuits against Bayer and the production of Round-up are having an effect. Will this be the end of that herbicide? #foodsecurity #farmlife farmpolicynews.illinois.edu/2025/04/baye...

Thanks to the BC Greens for standing up against Bill 15, which will ram through infrastructure projects without proper consultation with First Nations.

Nora Loreto nails it when it comes to what's needed for the federal NDP to survive and move forward. This will require a huge overhaul. #NDP #canpoli #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/noralore...

You know when the BC Conservatives agree with your move, you've gone off the deep end.

Some justice coming out of the last federal election.

Lets remember this come election time. The #BCNDP have fully embraced the "drill, baby, drill" attitude when it comes to LNG. Shooting past our #climate commitments with no serious plan to do anything else #bcpoli @bcgreens.bsky.social @bcgreencaucus.bsky.social www.biv.com/news/comment...

Is she still a practicing doctor? How does she square these extreme religious beliefs with her practice as an MD? Does the College of Physicians know?

Do folks recognize the MLAs in this photo? Is that Anna Kindy from Campbell River?

That took all of 5 seconds for Poilievre to consider. He's taking up the offer to run in Alberta. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
