Opening farmland to processors draws pushback www.countrylifeinbc.com/opening-farm... Who will protect the #ALR? Farmers in this province are united against this proposal but who is listening to them vs the lobbying land investors with the deepest pockets? #voteALR #bcpoli

This comment is completely unhinged. Telling a citizen who has served the community for four decades as a school trustee, city council, and community activist that she is no longer WELCOME in Richmond. Get out and VOTE this election, vote to and reject this fear and hate. #voteRITE #RichmondBC

Allowing 95% of ingredients to be imported from non-Canadian markets as the benchmark for putting up factories on protected #ALR #farmland will not benefit BC farmers. Say NO to this proposed legislation. #BCPoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/09...

The government wants to encourage more food processing. A former cabinet minister says it’s a ‘betrayal’ of farmers on already scarce land.

The realtor's "explanation" is as bad as the poster itself, doubling down on politicians bringing power & influence to the country of ethnicity. I've never thought about being elected bringing power to Austria. #RichmondBC #rmdelxn epaper.vancouversun.com/article/2820...

This is absolutely unacceptable. Where is the condemnation from the other ABC Councillors on this? Same garbage can escalate in #RichmondBC and other communities where politicians are so desperate they will lie, preying on fear for ultimate power. #bcpoli #vanpoli globalnews.ca/video/117117...

I voted to help ensure property owners in the land claim area are supported during this process. What I voted AGAINST was the mayor's office writing another letter as, in my opinion, the last letter informing people their titles may be invalid caused confusion and distress. #RichmondBC #cdnpoli

Our #RichmondBC mayor Malcolm Brodie has announced that he will not seek re-election. He served Richmond for a long time and it's a wonderful city to live in. Not without room for improvement, but I'd say among the best in the LM. (Perhaps I'm biased). Thank you Malcolm for years of dedication.

I'm in tears reading this. 31 affordable units being reduced to 10 in redevelopment approved in #Surrey despite it not complying with the #housing policy of 1-1 replacment. A man and his dog remain with nowhere to go. This is how homelessness happens. pressreader.com/canada/vancouv…

BC Housing is underfunded. Ex. 9 acres in #RichmondBC redeveloping but with only an increase to market rental instead of affordable units tied to income. Gov land should never be used for market housing. Seniors are going to be out on the street. #bcpoli #housing globalnews.ca/news/1124025...

The Trans Mountain pipeline (built by Trudeau, not Harper I might add) tripled the volume of oil shipping off the west coast. How is BC obligated to embrace another pipeline before building one to the East Coast? Am I missing something? #pipelines #bcpoli #cdnpoli
