BC NDP leader David Eby is under fire for keeping his kids in a facility that offers $10/day childcare — but his admission actually reveals the system’s deeper structural issues. @vancolour.bsky.social breaks it all down in today’s BC Election MOment, exclusively on Sitka Media 👇

The difference is that William used criticisms of Pete’s campaign to justify why William himself should be the “progressive” candidate (despite polling at 4%). His premises (on the Greens’ electoral capacity) were correct. His logic and conclusion were unsound.

OneCity’s William Azaroff plans to stay in Vancouver’s mayoral race. But… why? 🧐 His reasoning doesn’t make a lot of sense but it probably delights Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim and ABC Vancouver.
