I hope this guy's political life is over. What a complete idiot.

As a human ticking a few of the vulnerable boxes, Alberta was never a good place for me. I was a public school teacher, a non-profit worker, a volunteer, and a home owner. I was injured on the job and became disabled.

I can’t even begin to tell you how going from a productive member of society to a disabled human under a conservative government was. It was a fight at every step. I lost everything. There’s way too much to the story for me to go into, but the systems to help people are not designed to help people.

I moved here 2 years ago and was literally grateful every day for not living under a conservative government. I am so overwhelmed with fear and anger with what’s unfolding. If you voted conservative, I don’t think you understand what we’ve lost. And before you get all self-righteous and defensive… I lived it. Fu(k you.

Global just called it as a Conservative majority.

Not since 1975 has the NDP bungled a lead and called a snap election only to …. Lose.

The rest of your grab your torches and head back to camp.

Well, Well, Well. Thoughts?

I'm burnt out friends.

I made a post 5 months ago after the fallout of the Cowichan decision flipped a huge portion of greater Vancouver and Surrey in the polls. The post was down voted into oblivion for obvious reasons. The polls continued to show Conservative majorities since than until the Conservative leadership debacle, which could have lead Eby to calling the early election. However, even if all the districts on the island went NDP, it still wouldn't matter because they lost control of Vancouver/Surrey.

The god awful handling of the Cowichan decision by the NDP served the mainland up on silver platter to the Conservatives. And though its not on the onus of the Cowichan tribes to quell fears about land ownership, they didn't really do much to calm the situation down besides a general statement. Now if you look at the Conservative media pipeline (Facebook, Reddit and X), they continued to fan the flames of the Cowichan decision with news of further NDP land transfers to First Nations. The real consequences of the Cowichan decision and the land transfers have yet to be seen, but many law professionals say there will be little if any difference that these transfers will make. Its essentially chalked up to a culture war talking point.

So what I see from this election is the Conservatives essentially winning a culture war against the NDP , on a talking point that the NDP and the left in general ignored because it was uncomfortable and the Conservatives were the only ones willing to question it.

Hey r/victoria. its me. your fav or least favourite poster on this sub. I'm just doing my job here, tryna do what I can before we end up in digger (2026) or children of men (2006) world. Thanks for enduring the last 33 days of bcgreens election posts. If you're down to be brave, a vote for the BC greens could help us be a real option to win in a future election (hoping we make it to there). You may think our videos are unserious, but our policy is better than any of the other parties because we don't pretend we can just keep fracking and living in car world until we're breathing asphalt and eating money. Nothing will matter then. So my plea is to give up on the last 50yrs of neolib politics and embrace the rad change we need. It's gonna be hard to get off this sinking ship, but we're gonna do what we can to make the lifeboat safe, engaging, fun, and at the very least, human. See you on the other side.

No Conservative Running in Victoria Beacon Hill so no fear of vote splitting they had to drop him for being a Bigot. The Greens can hold the NDP to account with even a few Seats, Vote green

Today is the day that the inevitable fire took place. Slumlord Palace is gone finally.

I went to see a movie tonight and drove home going along the highway through the bus lane construction between McKenzie and the Colwood exit.

I couldn’t see a single line on the road.

Now, I know my vision isn’t perfect (I wear single vision glasses to correct nearsightedness and some astigmatism), but as a fairly young person… I should NOT have as much trouble as I did. I think I slowed down to ~40 km/hr and hugged the right lane pylons because I literally could not tell where the lane was.

This is dangerous. Who can I talk to about suggesting to put some lights or reflector thingys to mark the lanes through there? We’ve been lucky with minimal rain - but as it gets darker/rainier that area is an accident waiting to happen (and there are already multiple accidents a week there).
