It's not often we see this kind of turnout in Canadian elections. It might be bad planning but I'm encouraged to see Canadians exercising their right to vote.

Conservatives beaten in New Brunswick. Possibly in BC.
I hope that the populist right is sufficiently bruised and battered by these results.

Not for nothing, but, British Columbians would at least have some answers, by now, if they just did whatever a bunch of dweebs from Halifax told them to.

#bcpoli #bcelection. It looks like the NDP and Greens will govern again together. I voted for my local Green in West Vancouver Sea to Sky even though I usually vote NDP. This NDP has drifted into some weird populist territory and we need a thoughtful policy wing to hold them to account. Needing 2 Green votes to pass confidence motions feels like a healthy check on the drift away from progressive policy.

I think a good thing, from a sustainability and #CarbonNeutral point of view is that presuming the Green Party is the kingmaker and goes with the NDP, the B.C. #CarbonTax would remain. #BCElection #BCElxn2024

@chris it’s a shame Sonia Furstenau wasn’t elected. I’m still confused why she chose to run in an NDP stronghold. #bcpoli #bcelection

It’s terrifying that a last minute rag tag group of political opportunists, funded by special interests, can capture the votes of so many citizens on the premise that any change is better than a steady hand on governance.

A Kelowna riding might go NDP (the fuck?!) because… of vote splitting? #bcpoli #bcelection

Greens, you’re cute and all, but would you PLEASE STOP SPLITTING THE FUCKING LEFT VOTE?! #bcpoli #bcelection

#voted in the #BCElection. Christina Winter for the #bcgreenparty in Victoria—Swan Lake
I really don't like the new electronic counting machines. I don't think it's practical to make a tampering attack using them because of the paper ballot, but there's no reliable way to ensure secrecy of the ballot to protect against vote coercion.
There's just no way to ensure by looking at the machine that it isn't exfiltrating a timestamped record of the votes.

@kimlockhartga It is good that a vote by phone option is available - #CovidSafe #BCElection option has been used a lot in this provincial election 👍
-
Reminder for people voting today: you can vote at any polling place in BC. If voting outside your riding and if you don't know the name of your preferred candidate, you can write in the name of the party leader and party. Example: David Eby, NDP

Overall I would say Rustad was on the defensive the most by far but got some of his main points out. Eby attacked the most, sometimes agreeing with Green leader Furstenau. Furstenau avoided attacking the others most of the time but got some digs in. She had the most effective delivery on policy.
Thanks for following this impromptu live tooting! -

Rustad invokes the "Common Sense" words of the federal Conservative party platform as he closes, again going back to his "youth leaving BC" line he used most often all debate.
And there it ends. #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp

"Rustad wants to throw it all away" #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp
-
Furstenau speaks strongly on polarization and how previous coalition government got work done and reduces polarization and "pointing fingers". Implores people to elect more greens for less polarization. #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp
-
We heard it! BCCP leader says "you can't change the weather"!
Yes folks, there is a denier in the room. #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp
-
We are now into the economy
Rustad: Get rid of regulations
Eby: Grow grow grow wages jobs etc
Furstenau: Support peopleAlso, Eby moves alot on his feet, camera moves around.
Eby: "What are you gonna cut? No plan"
Furstenau: brings up transit.
Eby: "how can we debate when you [BCCP] won't say your plan"
-
aside: comment from
folks in the room questions why straws is the biggest thing in the Conservative's mind. 😂 #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp -
Eby: "I wouldn't describe our relationship with First Nations as parent and child but as a partnership" he scolds Rustad
Rustad has been weakest on this line.
-
"Ultimately we will have indigenous law over private land" Rustad "warns"
this is total nonsense.
#bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp -
On Indigenous Rights... after explaining their continued work with First Nations, Eby attacks "racist"
Conservative candidates refusing to wear orange shirts #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp -
So far I would say the two on the right have been carrying most of the conversation. Rustad has spent the most time answering attacks.
Rustad:
"David Eby, we have seen people arrested distributing drugs in these facilities"
(on overdose prevention sites). #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp -
Rustad "will not enforce Federal gun laws" says Eby.
Accuses Rustad of doing nothing when bags of money brought by gangs into BC Casinos under Liberal Gov.
#bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp -
Eby addresses why the govenment pulled back from decriminalizing. "not simple solutions" #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp
-
The moderator turns Rustad back to what she asked.
He focused on the government not being "a drug
dealer" #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp -
Furstenau says there needs to be "regulated alternative"
to toxic drugs #bccp #bcpoli #bcgreens #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp -
Furstenau ignores the attack line of questioning and goes to policy. Rustad earlier said to Eby he would "explain" his Nuremberg comments.
Eby says "we believe science works"
-
Eby goes on the attack on anti-vax. Rustad says "I am anti mandate" #bccp #bcpoli #BCElxn2024 #bcelection #bcndp
