I wasn’t sure if I was going to run in this election. The NDP were almost successful at keeping BC Greens off the ballot in Coquitlam-Maillardville, but I couldn’t allow that to happen.

On one hand we have a party that doesn’t understand what SOGI is or how it works, but wants it gone, and on the other hand we have a party that cut funding to the organization responsible for SOGI and refused to ban conversion therapy twice. As a queer person, of course I’ll be voting for BCGreens

All I’m hearing from people at the doors is that they don’t care who wins this election as long as it’s not Eby. I have yet to encounter someone in person who’s supporting the BC NDP, though I see plenty of support for them online.

This is the 4th election I’ve been involved in where I’ve heard “we need to vote ABC this time.” If you say it every election it reads as crying wolf, and people stop listening. It’s not a good strategy for keeping conservatives out of office.

I’m working out in Tsawwassen today and the mood here is somber. What should have been a day to reflect on reconciliation has become a day of mourning the injured and dead.

Shortly after the BC NDP cancelled funding for the organization that brought us SOGI, ARC Foundation is announcing that they will wind-down after nearly two decades. www.arcfoundation.ca/wind-down-an...

I don't see anyone talking about the fact that the vote on the right is split between 3 parties this time around. So it seems to me that there's never been a better (or less 'risky') time for the left to apply pressure.

Is this really the kind of campaigning the NDP want to be known for?

Please don’t fall for fake fact propaganda. It’s everywhere and you need to be aware of it.

A minority government would be a good outcome. It would be nice if the Greens could win some seats from the Conservatives.

Nicola Spurling @nicespurling.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I’ll be voting strategically for the BC Greens on October 24th, to prevent a conservative majority. The NDP can’t be trusted to win this election on their own, so we have to ensure a progressive party holds the balance of power.

Nicola Spurling @nicespurling.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

If we make this a two-party election, we drive BC towards US-style politics and we remove safeguards against a conservative majority.

Did anyone else who’s not a BC NDP supporter get an email from the BC NDP about putting up a lawn sign? I’ve been a BC Greens member since 2017 and have never consented to receive communication from the BC NDP.

Nicola Spurling @nicespurling.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

When the BC NDP tell you not to vote for BC Greens, it’s not because they actually believe Greens steal votes from them. We know the NDP performs worse when Greens don’t run candidates.

Nicola Spurling @nicespurling.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

BC Greens prevented a conservative majority in 2017 because we elected enough MLAs to hold the balance of power. It almost happened again in 2024. BC Greens kept the other parties in check from 2017-2020 by holding the balance of power, and they can do that again with only a little more support.

If you’re new to campaigning, just know that the BC NDP always target BC Greens early in the campaign. The strategy is to try to destroy support for Greens before it has time to build momentum. The more they attack, the more threatened they are by your message.

Nicola Spurling @nicespurling.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

In 2017, voting BC Green ended 16yrs of conservative rule, because BC Greens held the balance of power and signed a CASA with the NDP. In 2026, voting for BC Greens will help prevent a future conservative majority by ensuring a responsible third party holds the balance of power.

Nicola Spurling @nicespurling.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

If you want to stop conservatives from forming a majority government, we have to vote for BC Greens in this election.

The BC NDP is such a slimy and self-serving party. This is their second snap election in the last 6 years. This costs taxpayers a lot of money for no good reason. The BC NDP already have a functional majority.

She stayed on as leader just long enough to destroy the party 😂 Thank you for your community service, Kerry-Lynne!

Incredible. Now if Eby doesn't call the election, there's a chance she wins her byelection and joins a caucus she no longer leads.

Settling in to watch the final in comfort, right next to the Granville Street fan zone 🇪🇸 vs 🇦🇷 The last time Spain made it to the final was 2010, and I watched them win from a fan zone in Barcelona. Let’s see how this game compares!

Your girl went to the hairdresser for the first time in a year! I feel so much lighter now, and apparently my hair is getting lighter too. My hair dresser says I’m going grey in a satisfyingly even way, and it may be fully white in a few years

It’s weird how some people’s language shifts in response to whether or not they’ll feel socially persecuted for saying things. Can they not think for themselves?

I picked up some flooring for a client today and I didn’t have much room in my van. The workers at the warehouse couldn’t believe I was able to fit it all in, though it just barely did.

You know that Billboard Chris guy? The one who has half a million followers on dead Twitter and travels around protesting against freedom of expression. The one who protested my political campaign and pushed my volunteers around. The one who showed up at my home and doxxed me twice.

A couple firsts I’m particularly proud of 😉 I’ve since run in a municipal election and two other provincial elections, and I still firmly believe JK Rowling’s transphobia is a threat to children (and adults).

What is something you do because you know it’s right but that you still hate doing? Mine is tipping. I tip because I know people rely on that money to survive, but I hate tipping for that same reason.

Taking a stance against instigating violence is never the wrong stance. It can never be construed by good faith actors to be a stance against any group of people. Anyone who claims otherwise is acting in bad faith and has a violent agenda. They are not safe to associate with.

People who promote anti-woke ideology are, in no uncertain terms, telling you not to educate yourself. That’s quite literally what anti-woke means.

When people say UBI won’t work because people won’t be incentivized to work I call BS. I renovate homes and I love it. Even if I had tons of money going into my bank account, and I didn’t have to lift a finger for it, I would still want to do this work. I’d just do it for free.

Imagine going to someone’s home, punching them in the face, and then claiming it was a necessary preemptive strike to defend yourself. Do you think a court would conclude you had acted in self defence, or would you be charged with assault and battery?
