"We’re celebrating the first official victory delivered under the Confidence and Supply Agreement (CARGA) between the BC Greens and the BC NDP — and it’s a big one! Thanks to the $75 million secured through CARGA by BC Green MLAs Rob Botterell and Jeremy Valeriote, rental supports for families and seniors across the province are being significantly enhanced." - B.C. Green Party (quote from Bluesky Acct) #bcpoli #BCGreenParty

#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.

BC Cons: Environmental & Indigenous rights activists are domestic terrorists. We must use militarized police forces on them & protect our corporate lobbyists' interests.
BC NDP: Environmental & Indigenous rights activists are domestic terrorists. We must use militarized police forces on them & protect our corporate lobbyists' interests.
BC Greens: Environmental & Indigenous rights activists are trying to do what governments promised & failed to do. We must not put corporate lobbyists interests above our environmental & citizens' best interests.

We need #BCForestryReform no matter who wins to stop ongoing #deforestation of #BritishColumbia. This is a decades long battle with 2 swinging door BC governments.
Even if you had $100 billion - you can't buy or give funds to First Nations to buy cutblocks & protect them instead of logging them. The way our shady government has set things up - if you purchase cutblock, you're legally required to log it or else you lose your purchase. That needs to be changed. It's a screwed up clause created by former BC Liberals & was kept on books by BC NDP. Only the BC Greens have ever fought to get this amended as part of necessary, overdue BC #ForestryReform.

More than two dozen lobbyists who served as public officials under David Eby and John Rustad’s past governments have actively lobbied the two party leaders since 2020, an IJF analysis has found.
Ahead of the B.C. election, the IJF has identified 25 lobbyists who held public office over the last two decades and have since communicated with B.C. NDP Leader Eby or B.C. Conservative Leader Rustad, or both.
That includes a former health and environment minister who served alongside Rustad in the last B.C. Liberal cabinet, two former staff members from the office of John Horgan, Eby’s predecessor as NDP premier, and a handful of ministerial chiefs of staff and deputy ministers under the Liberals.
Bryan Evans, a politics professor at Toronto Metropolitan University, said it’s always a concern when someone makes the switch from government to lobbying.
“Lobbying is very much about who you know — the kind of social and political capital one carries based on networks that they build while working in government,” he told the IJF.
“The public, the media, the opposition, whatever it may be, should know who is actually talking to people in positions to make authoritative and consequential decisions.”

Heading back out now. I have to stop at a lawyer's office to pickup some documents on behalf of my client & then heading to the hospital again.
On my street & on surrounding 3 blocks on all 4 sides - we are the only house with a political party support sign in front. We support BC Greens & their campaign platform but we aren't members of any political party.

I support my local trans friends & the larger trans community in being against involuntary conversion therapy for trans minors by their parents. I had supported the #BCGreens on both of their past attempts to get involuntary conversion therapy banned in BC. The #BCNDP tossed it out, both times. The #BCConservatives also support involuntary conversion therapy. #BCGreenParty is the only political party in #BritishColumbia that has consistently fought hard for the rights & dignity of transfolks. The other two parties are transphobic & do pinkwashing PR, while supporting ongoing harms against transfolks.

The revelations about the government’s numbers were also frustrating for Green Party Leader Sonia Furstenau.
“This government — and in particular when it comes to anything to do with health care — loves rolling out a whole bunch of numbers that they think are going to somehow convince people that what they're experiencing in their communities isn't real,” she told the IJF.
But she said she was exhausted by the other parties’ deflection on the issue, and by their shared push for involuntary care. She described secured treatment facilities as the “the most expensive end of the continuum of care” for substance use disorders, and said they are not well supported by the evidence.
“We are starving for access to preventive and proactive mental health care services in this province, and we hear again and again from parents who say ‘I couldn't get help from my child when they needed it,’” Furstenau said.
“The response of both Eby and Rustad is to say, well, we'll wait until that person is in absolutely the worst state of crisis and then we'll force them into involuntary care. It makes no sense.”

Happy to see the #BCGreenParty have, as of Sept 21, 77 candidates currently running in the upcoming election, hopefully with more announcements to come. Also, their media releases regarding their platform are very encouraging. We badly need change in this province and the NDP and Conservative party are not the answer.

From Sonia Furstenau
"This week I visited Squamish, and after announcing the BC Greens’ landmark commitment to halting future investment in fossil fuel infrastructure, I went door knocking with Jeremy Valeriote. It seems to me that West Vancouver-Sea to Sky is ready to go Green!
This upcoming BC election is going to make history. With so many Greens and independents feeling strong support from their communities, we may end up with a balanced legislature -

@Snoro I want to remind folks that the only political party who has never stopped fighting for environmental protections, for ecocide corporations to clean up their messes, to put forth sustainable futures policies & first political party in #BritishColumbia to put forth 2 #Trans candidates. #BCGreenParty is the only party in BC who have consistently fought hard for rights & dignity for LGBTQ2S. BC Greens was the ONLY BC political party to try to get a bill passed on banning involuntary #ConversionTherapy on kids - which #BCNDP voted down not once but TWICE.

The #BCGreenParty made the first big splash of the 2024 provincial #election campaign with a major commitment to expand #PublicTransit, including a promise of “free public transit, province-wide” that has been widely criticized as being too costly.
While shifting to #FreeTransit for everyone, everywhere could be fiscally and logistically challenging in the short run, BC needs bold solutions to address the congestion clogging up our cities, shrink our societal dependence on cars and improve affordability of #transportation.
Free transit would need to be combined with major transportation investments to bolster local #transit systems and interconnect them across the province, as recommended in our recent #ConnectingBC report. In that report we call for doubling the number of buses in BC within five years and tripling within 10 (both of which are echoed in the #GreenParty platform), in addition to new #rail and #ferry infrastructure and expansion of free transit.

*Related to my post from yesterday.
#BCNDP's #HousingHub program is coming under #scrutiny after one #TaxpayerSubsidized #RentalBuilding in #Vancouver's #Kitsilano neighbourhood, touted as "affordable", is now listing units for $2,600 per month for a studio & $4,200 per month for a 2 bedroom unit.
The listed #RentalPrices are well above provincial #AffordableHousing thresholds & one #housing #researcher says it's an example of how difficult it is to build #AffordableRental buildings when market prices are so far beyond what average #renters can afford.
The leader of the #BCGreenParty called it an "infuriating" #misuse of #TaxpayerDollars.
The #BCNDPgovernment provided a $31.8 million #LowInterestLoan to Vancouver developer #JamesonDevelopmentCorp. for the 68-unit rental building through the HousingHub program, which is aimed at providing housing to middle-income renters shut out of the real estate market.
#BCPremier #DavidEby, who was the minister -responsible for housing at the time, was quoted in a December 2021 government news release announcing the project.
"Our government is investing in more affordable housing for people who work and live in Vancouver, and throughout B.C." he said.
The building at 1807 Larch St., called the L2, is set to be complete next month & is now advertising units.
According to the building's website, a 400-square foot studio apartment starts at $2,599 a month & a 840-square foot two-bedroom, two-bath unit is listed for $4,299 a month.

#BCNDP's #HousingHub program is coming under #scrutiny after one #TaxpayerSubsidized #RentalBuilding in #Vancouver's #Kitsilano neighbourhood, touted as "affordable", is now listing units for $2,600 per month for a studio & $4,200 per month for a 2 bedroom unit.
The listed #RentalPrices are well above provincial #AffordableHousing thresholds & one #housing #researcher says it's an example of how difficult it is to build #AffordableRental buildings when market prices are so far beyond what average #renters can afford.
The leader of the #BCGreenParty called it an "infuriating" #misuse of #TaxpayerDollars.
The #BCNDPgovernment provided a $31.8 million #LowInterestLoan to Vancouver developer #JamesonDevelopmentCorp. for the 68-unit rental building through the HousingHub program, which is aimed at providing housing to middle-income renters shut out of the real estate market.
#BCPremier #DavidEby, who was the minister -responsible for housing at the time, was quoted in a December 2021 government news release announcing the project.
"Our government is investing in more affordable housing for people who work and live in Vancouver, and throughout B.C." he said.
The building at 1807 Larch St., called the L2, is set to be complete next month & is now advertising units.
According to the building's website, a 400-square foot studio apartment starts at $2,599 a month & a 840-square foot two-bedroom, two-bath unit is listed for $4,299 a month.
