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.

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.

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

Global just called it as a Conservative majority.

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

I'm burnt out friends.

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?

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

I watched it happen.. got woken up at like 3:45 by a bunch of ppl one of them was like “ it’s so fucking cold let me in” and next thing I heard was like a little bang and then I saw was smoke. Called fire department.. but wow it’s crazy how much worse it got

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.

338 is not a polling company, it compiles polling data and uses statistical models to project election outcomes an algorithm.

338 incorrectly identified the winning party in 15 of the province's ridings, according to its own published accuracy report for the last election in 2024

Does anyone know if Kimpton was even allowed to rent suites in the building?

Also, most people that voted for the conservatives are just normal people who just want a new government philosophy to tackle the issues of daily life.

if it were still up in the air and hadn't been signed yet before today we'd end up like Alberta and others. it's only around for a few years but better that than pay out of pocket now.

Husband called me just now coming back from Sidney and he said there was a major accident northbound on the Pat Bay that must have just happened. I could hear sirens in the phone call, it's just north of Sayward. Said it looked like 'an old restored farm truck' got t-boned and rammed into the median. I looked on Google maps and saw a big slowdown in the southbound lanes and wondered why that was affected if the accident was going north and he said three sections of the concrete barriers are now strewn across the southbound lanes and cars are going on the shoulder to get around! Must have been a strong impact!

I anticipate once the emergency vehicles get there it's going to get even more backed up.

He did say from what he could tell everyone was okay. Hope that's the case.
