Conservative Campaign Director Katy Merrifield's Islamophobic comments continue to pile up... This comment appears to be her promoting Islamophobia in Canada??? 🤢 The Conservative Party needs to drop her immediately. Is this who we want running our province? #bcpoli
The BCNDP can lose this election because of their hubris in calling an election when their opponents didn’t have a permanent leader. The BC Conservatives can lose this election because they constantly default to awful. #BCpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This Thanksgiving, when your uncle starts going on about BC being the "highest-taxed province in Canada," show him this. It's how much revenue provinces collect as a share of their economy. BC is just below the national average—the 4th-LOWEST province. And then enjoy your pie. #BCPoli #BCLab
Jim Stanford@jimbostanford.bsky.social · 5d agoThis contagious claim that under the NDP BC has become 'the highest taxed province' is nonsense. Provincial own-source revenue as share of GDP is 4th lowest among the provinces, and below the Canadian weighted average. #bcpoli /2
