One of Doerkson’s first public statements after becoming interim leader of the BC Conservatives was to declare his intention to repeal B.C.’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, or DRIPA.
So white supremacy and land greed are their driving principles then.
Also screw Eby for whining about DRIPA
Every time I see this guys name, I just see Dork-son.
I know names are a low blow, but why does it seem so many conservative candidates just have the names that likely got made fun of in school?
cant expect anything less when conservative party wins, they have to show for something.
Why couldn’t more people switch from ndp to grn instead of con, what fumble on disillusioned voters.
Yeah, I wish I understood this. I voted Green. Emily Lowan was the only candidate worthy of the vote and in touch with voters, IMHO.
If you look at the actual voter turnout, it doesn’t look so much like people switched as it looks like NDP voters just stayed home. Conservatives got something like 40k fewer votes than last election and the NDP got something like 270k fewer votes.
What horrible news. My wife and I were planning to flee to BC from the states if November went poorly. Currently live west coast.
Looks like you got to take down the king pin of fascism.
No amount of BC conservatism could compete with the dumpster fire happening down south.
It absolutely can when it comes to deforestation specifically.
This likely shouldn’t change your plans. The Conservatives here are not great, but they aren’t nearly as bad as republicans most of the time.
It will also likely only be 4 years. They are likely to shit the bed and get voted out.
The one saving grace is that the BCCons spent two years fighting over each other that they haven’t sat down and made (or had written for them by wealthy interests) an evil policy document like Project 2025, which had we seen this result in 2028 they’d have more time to prepare. We can still protest and push back against many of their developing ideas for governance.
I am bracing for destructive policies but we’re going to have to move forward and do what we can to limit the worst damage.
probably look at other parts of the country or even the EU? you seem to have the resources to do so.
Hope you guys like data centres in poor towns.
They’ll be owned by Canada at least, right? Right?!
What an embarrassment.
This is so sad. The old growth forests in the PNW are some of the most efficient carbon capturing forests on earth. Combined with Brazil going to a far right government and it’s looking bleak as hell. I think these are the final nails in the coffin of our species.
liberalism has become too extreme and solved too few problems, not that conservatism is better
This is the most terminally-online, red-pilled take I see far too often. You are conflating online opinions with reality. There are absolutely people online that want to tear down capitalism, entirely move to renewable energy, and whatever other ‘evils’ you can think of. But if you look at what the elected parties employ, it’s the most white bread bland shit ever. There are almost no meaningfully progressive policies getting through and if they do it is watered down to the point that it obviously won’t do anything anyway.
OK good luck affording a home
Conservatives are an existential threat to all life on earth. There has never been a peaceful solution to an infestation of conservatism. It must be dealt with harshly.
Except when it’s conservatives from “minority communities”. NDP, Greens and Liberals treat them like royalty and the sole, rightful representatives of all “minorities”.
Remember that time when Left decided everyone in the country should be forced to hear Adhan so everyone knows when it’s time to pray to One True God?
Or that time when they decided which religious headgear is a valid replacement for motorcycle helmets in various provinces?
