This is a play right out of the old Social Credit playbook! I remember the first election where I was able to vote and my buddy saying he was going to vote for Vanderslam because "he promised to lower the price of beer!" (he didn't). #BCPoli

He's not wrong. The BC Cons are a group of conspiracy theorists, fascists, racists, and bigots. And they are aligned with Trump. They've shown us that over the past 2 years. However, the NDP currently has control of government and this election is not necessary. #BCelxn #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli
