Ready to govern? The BC Conservatives don't even know who they have in their party. Two candidates have been expelled in the last week. How can we trust them to run this province when they can't even manage themselves? #bcpoli #bcelection

Healthcare is on the ballot. The BC Conservatives do not have a budget or a plan to fund health care. But we have heard a Conservative MLA say healthcare will have to "bear the brunt" of the upcoming budget cuts. We cannot afford cuts to our healthcare system! #bcpoli #bcelection

Records show that Trump hasn’t paid a single dollar out of his own pocket for the ballroom, despite repeatedly insisting that he was going to pay for it when the project was announced. But if you go to a Trump rally the attendees will insist that he paid for the whole thing.

The BC NDP has promised to double funding for libraries, from $14m to $28m. Libraries are absolutely vital resource in this province and any thriving democracy. It's not just about borrowing books, BC libraries are community hubs that offer educational programs to people of all ages. #bcpoli

Vancouver-Strathcona is the least Conservative-friendly riding in B.C., so there no worry of McIntosh winning But I'll say this: it's very, uh, ironic for the Conservatives to run this candidate, in this riding, while running attacks ads on how the NDP candidate (Amanda Burrows) has terrible values

The vote marked the second time the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) denied students at the nation’s largest historically Black university, with over 15,000 students, a midterms voting site. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
democracydocket.com
North Carolina early voting begins, with students targeted by suppression schemes
Ultimately, voters described the roadblocks as a feature, not a bug, of the state’s electoral system — one that’s littered with so much confusion that some may decide to stay home and not vote at all.

REMINDER: The BC Conservatives will not allow an interim leader to run for party leader! This means Lorne Doerkson cannot remain leader of the BC conservative party. If the Conservative Party forms government, their party members will choose the next premier, not the people of BC. #bcpoli

Separatists don't just live in Alberta. They are here in BC too. Last year, Conservative MLA David Williams posted this graphic showing Western Canada as a "protectorate of the United States". The BC Conservatives are a dangerous and present threat to our sovereignty. #bcpoli #bcelection
