Poilievre and the other #Canadian Conservatives intend to do the same here in Canada. #Indigenous rights & title stands between them and the oil & gas, and other resources they intend to take.

#JohnRustad’s #BCConservatives made it clear they intended to shred legislation designed to ensure #BC laws respected the #UNDRIP. And #Poilievre is on record as publicly stating that Canada’s indigenous peoples “need to learn the value of hard work”.

Are the #BCConservatives Pro-Trump, or Pro-Canada? | The Tyee thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025/02/04/ “Conservative Party of BC Leader #JohnRustad, who supported Trump’s fabricated attacks on Canada, saying in a press release that the tariff threats were “a direct response to Canada’s failure to control illegal immigration and crack down on fentanyl.”

The problem? They aren’t legitimate concerns. Trump made them up to justify tariffs against Canada.”

@IJFmedia

I’m more concerned about how much the federal #CPC are spending on social media ads, and the fact that BC Conservatives have piggybacked on that same federal marketing, benefiting from Pierre Poilievre’s uncontrolled ad spending.

Also, tanking BC United three weeks before the election to steal their votes and “unite the right” was akin to cheating to win. Not surprising how our right wing biased media accepted and normalized the ethically cheap move.

Even after cheating and losing, BC Conservatives (in MAGA fashion) continue to challenge the outcome and whine about how unfair democracy is.

What a bunch of sore conspiracy theorists. Let’s just see how much these “wholesome” BC Conservatives are being funded by Albertan Oil interests, right wing think tanks and religious lobby groups as they continue to attempt to muddy the NDP’s win rather than gracefully accept their own defeat.

@carkner Free speech, but only if it’s what they want to hear. Democracy, but only they win. Cons are crooks.

Even after stacking the deck with BC United votes they still lost! Just a bunch of trumpian cheaters complaining about how they lost.

BC Cons have gone full maga. Just a bunch of anti democratic sore losers. #bcpoli #bcconservatives

I'm thinking about writing about how BC NDP lost a ton of support in recent years & that resulted in a nail biter election with #BCConservatives taking up a ton of seats. #BCNDP went full #neoliberal & it cost them a lot of supporters.

DO NOT MAKE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN in our federal elections next year. PLEASE!!

Listen to our BIPOC voices more. We have sacrificed a lot in fights to stop fascism. We didn't stop despite being bullied & vilified by "moderates" & far right, alike.

Bonnie Henry spreading covid misinformation just days after I was forced to vote #bcndp to stop #bcconservatives from winning our riding sure is choice.

I despise what Bonnie Henry has done to our health care and covid awareness in our communities. She misinformed BC that we only needed vaccines with a thumbs up photo op. Now that her bcndp hasn’t provided us with vaccines in cold season, Bonnie pushes deadly immunity lies to coverup their continued incompetence.

Bonnie Henry is truly a health menace and now right back in our faces barking more nonsense.

I honestly hate this BCNDP, but was one of a couple thousand votes who kept them in power in my riding to avoid a conservative catastrophe.

I wasted my vote on a party that has consistently failed to combat or even acknowledge #covid19bc under #BonnieHenry’s grossly incompetent command.

Bonnie should have been fired years ago. Instead she arrives on stage to gloat and spew more corporate propaganda. Disgusting.

Bonnie Henry is one of the main reasons this deadly pandemic is being brushed off, abandoning a whole generation of us to the lifelong burden of covid.

I’m starting to wish I had voted her and this pitiful #bcndp out. Bonnie is as bad as the worst conspiracy laden BC Cons. A liar, a grifter, and a constant repeater of dangerous misinformation.

Get your house in order BCNDP, you’ve lost more than you realize supporting Bonnie’s bullshit snake oil narratives.

Update... we just bumped up the totals by a few hundred votes after a few more straggler ballot boxes were counted. We are up to 99.95% of ballot boxes reporting and 57.4% turnout. The NDP's lead in popular vote crept up 0.01% to +1.03%.

NDP: 908,735 44.60%
Conservative Party: 887,814 43.57%

The last uncounted ballot boxes appear to be in North Coast - Haida Gwaii (NDP held), not a close race.
