Hello. I've made the switch from X. I was born and raised in Alberta, lived in Colorado for some time and now reside on Vancouver Island. My interests are nature, art, books and ( stressful at the moment) politics.

I bought this Native pumpkin spice latte body wash at ekoandco.ca This company sells only Canadian products and I ended up getting the native body wash on sale for half off. The pumpkin spice latte has cloves in it and it smells amazing and it is festive. #BuyCanadian

Either Doerkson's BC Conservatives dropped the ball on vetting their candidates ...or their standards were questionable to begin with Either way...not good How can anyone possibly think that the BC Conservatives are fit to govern?

I hope he did, but I'm not sure that Premier Eby made the right decision calling this early election, since a backlash against the NDP may result in the election of a government with some very detrimental policies and plans for our province...ie the changes to ICBC, Healthcare, environment etc.

I've been buying the Canadian #Marcelle makeup brand for awhile now and I have to say, it is so much better on my skin than US brands, I have less breakouts, the makeup does not contain talc, it's gentle and the prices are a little cheaper than the brands I used to buy. marcelle.com/en/collectio...

He was trying very hard to assure us that his brand of conservatism would somehow be different. He did not convince me that once in power his assurances would fall by the wayside.

You can safely bet that a number of Americans tried to interfere in Quebec elections are are doing so in Alberta and BC elections. Mr. Hoekstra is accusing Canada of that which he and others are guilty.

Alberta separatism is a potent attempt to launder a broader far-right, anti-immigrant movement through the language of western alienation. The danger is that, even if separatism fails at the ballot box, it will normalize and build organizational power for a white nativist vision of Canada.

If Doerkson & the BC Conservatives are "entertaining" the idea of undermining Public Auto Insurance by ushering in privatization, they should argue the case for it They won't Because they'd lose, and they know it Enuf of the "weasel words" Doerkson must be honest with voters #BCElection #bcelxn2026

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

Trump: "Putin has no respect for this person." Clinton: "That's because he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States. You're willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do." October 19, 2016. She was right.
