Over on Twitter, the BC Conservative Juan de Fuca-Malahat candidate is defending comments made in a video clip: "In law we have to conquer or sign a treaty with First Nations ... we have to have these treaties and we are going to get them." Mike Hicks says he was defending the need for treaties

Before the snap election call, we had another summer of wildfires and smoke But neither of the parties vying to become BC's next government have much to say about the environment or climate change - even less than they did in 2024 I talked to some experts to explain why #bcpoli

Climate issues are taking a back seat in B.C.’s election

The NDP offers nothing new. The Conservatives aren’t talking. And the Greens are climate-focused but unlikely to form B.C.’s next government

This story is wild and disturbing BC seems to have overstated its natural gas royalties by $1.5 BILLION over 5 years Per the premier's office, it's an administrative error converting units and currency An SFU economist with expertise in royalty structures says that doesn't add up #bcpoli

B.C. admits to $1.5B budget error following BIV investigation

Premier's office blames 'administrative error' for missing $1.5B in gas royalties; experts call the government's explanation confusing, and in some cases, demonstrably false

More on Alberta’s boundary mess… CBC News election unit analysed the maps: the main report would have produced a 7-seat margin of victory for UCP. The minority report by UCP appointees? A 23-seat win, with many seats narrowly flipped in Calgary. W/analysis by me: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

DRIPA is not a threat to certainty; it is our only path toward it. A suspension of Indigenous rights would torch nation relations, Horgan’s legacy, and block the real path forward - long overdue good-faith negotiations. Thanks for having me on, Mo @vancolour.bsky.social! #bcpoli

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections:

Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again."

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m
Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired."

•..
Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m
He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged.

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 21m
Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions."

...
Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m
Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately.
"The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."
