It relates to a discussion @joannehammond.bsky.social and others were having on here the other day about trusting the RCMP. The top 3 offending countries have police forces that grew out of systems of colonial genocide/alleged genocide and slavery.

US police kill civilians at over 3 times the rate of Canadian police. Canadian police kill civilians at over 3 times the rate of Dutch police.

Canada, conveniently located next to the United States so we can point the finger. Yes it's really bad there. We are the worst when it comes to the rest of the world.

Some thoughts I shared while in the UK, where Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has acknowledged that anti-genocide protestors "were right" but activists are still serving long prison terms for stepping in where their government failed. @astra.bsky.social

The fact that Geoff Meggs just told Gloria Macarenko on CBC that Emily Lowan of the BC Greens appeals to “upper class environmentalists” is a big indication of how worried the NDP are about the Greens. Nothing more. Lowan taking on billionaires doesn't seduce the fancy, Geoff. #bcpoli

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.

I lived in Central Kootenay for many years, where they vote NDP & have services and community infrastructure, even in really small communities (<1000). Moving to rural Shuswap was shocking and alienating. People don't understand (or care, sometimes) that if you want stuff, you have to pay for it.

Ms.Sally 🇨🇦 @ms-sally.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
It's really important to understand that most of rural BC is Alberta (with more mountains) and always has been. It's a rare day on the TCH in central BC or in small cities like Salmon Arm that you don't see a handful of Alberta license plates to go with the politics.

So sort of like we've all been saying to the Carney cheerleaders all this time - he's full of shit on moving us away from the US. His investment summit showed us all that and yet, there are still so many who believe he's doing what's best of us and not his portfolio.

Exactly. In most of rural BC, the more voters that don't vote for conservative incumbents the better. The argument that we need to change our vote out of fear of a conservative government is also familiar. And, like the federal liberals, the NDP are steadily moving to the right.

Which is exactly what voting liberal did in the last federal election, even though we got a liberal government. Strategic voting doesn't work.
