#bcpoli Of the 3,738,182 eligible voters in 2026, 861,258 (before mail ballots) voted Conservative, electing one of the largest majority governments in BC history. Important for that government to always think about the 2,876,924 (77%) who did not vote for them

#bcpoli #bcelxn For very good reasons voters REJECTED Gordon Campbell, Christy Clark and Kevin Falcon. Don’t be fooled. BC Conservatives are the same political operatives trying to rebrand themselves and sneak past you. Don’t trust Lorne Doerkson with your vote.

#bcpoli Some of the worst of Gordon Campbell’s cuts came in 2001-2002 to pay for his tax cuts. Many people edible to vote in #bcelxn2026 were not out of elementary school then and have no memory of the pain. Hope they don’t learn first hand under Doerkson and his BC Conservatives.

Regardless of political affiliation, it was obvious at the debate that BC Conservative Interim Leader Lorne Doerkson is not ready to govern the province. He was suddenly thrust into this role and doesn't have the skills for it. Will enough British Columbians see it in time? #bcpoli

After a long night of not giving British Columbians a straight answer about the conservative plan, Doerkson has decided to take the day off to relax! This is the kind of leadership BC can expect from a Conservative Government. #bcpoli #bcelection

What are the BC Conservatives hiding from voters? A lot. No policy details, no costed platform, a leader in hiding. It all adds up to deceit and deception of the voting public. They are not who they pretend to be. #bcpoli #BCElxn #BCElxn2026

It’s been 7 days since Interim Conservative Leader Lorne Doerkson’s last media event and 15 days since his staff banned journalists from asking follow-up questions. After last night’s weak performance, it’s clear why ⤵️ www.bcndp.ca/releases/doe...

#bcpoli #bcelxn Media recognized Elenore Sturko as one of the most effective opposition MLAs. It says a lot that BC Conservative interim leader Lorne Doerkson could not attract her back to join his reimagined party. Looks like she knows too much about that bunch.

#bcpoli Since BC Conservative interim leader Lorne Doerkson says promise to jack up ICBC premiums is old news, what other old Conservative promises are still his party policy. Elimination of rent control and Residential Tenancy Act protections?

Highway/bridge tolls, drivers licences, fishing licences, property transfer, medical premiums and many more user fees. We saw this before in the early 2000s when BC Libs were first elected. Conservative lower taxes works for the rich. Conservative high user fees hurts the working people #BCPoli

#bcpoli Since BC Conservative interim leader Lorne Doerkson is promising to jack up ICBC premiums, votes must ask what other fees and charges would Conservatives use as a cash cow. Hydro? Tuition? Ambulance fees. Water licenses? Court fines? There are dozens and dozens.

A leaked letter reveals BC Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson wrote to the insurance industry and trial lawyers on Sept. 29, promising to end no-fault insurance. But now he denies he has made any promises. The NDP calls it a secret deal between the Cons and trial lawyers. #bcpoli #BCElxn
