Was @timthielmann aware that his "mentee" Othman was "negotiating" on his behalf? Or was this done behind his back? 🤔 nitter.gq/One_BCHQ/status/211018…
Hey @timthielmann, is this why you insisted on not firing @OthmanMekhloufi, even though repeatedly asked to? Were you sabotaging OneBC or did the "brown kid" fool you?

OneBC is here to stay. We’ll cheer on the BC Conservative government as they deliver on their promises and do the hard work needed to get our province back on track. But we will hold them to account if they start backpedaling on their promises or engage in liberal-style shenanigans.

I like the fact that they’re talking about handing back the responsibility for zoning back to the municipalities. I do a lot of intense work with local municipalities here in the Okanagan and the one thing that really pissed off the counsellors was not having full control of the OCP. The NDP government effectively neutered municipal councillors. The fact that they picked on this piece of legislation so early is a very good sign.
Caroline will become leader. Mauro Francis already is talking about amending the constitution so Lorne can stay leader. The way they are planning to do it is so they don't have to have a leadership race anymore. After this is achieved Lorne will step down and CE will be made leader.

When the dust is settled and the crying is over, they’ll move into the anger stage. That’s when it’ll get interesting. Some people are gonna be very bitter and they’ll start spilling the beans. I’m thinking probably late January early February for that.
#REPORT: Outgoing BC NDP deputy premier Niki Sharma says MLAs were crying during their post-election caucus meeting, and that David Eby personally apologized for causing 40% of them to lose their seats.

One thing that they’re already indicated they’re working on is reversing the oversight that the province gave itself over local municipal OCPs. I know in the Okanagan citizens were really angry that the government took the power away from counsellors to control their own zoning. That basically put the counsellors in a position of being on a dog chain. All they could do is run at the end of that chain and bark. With that part of the policy scheduled for cancellation, it puts the power back into the hand and municipalities and that is a very good thing.
Now we find out if the Conservative Party of BC put words into action. Repeal Bill 36 HPOA, Repeal DRIPA section 35, Remove SOGI... and FIRE BONNIE HENRY. Will they use the excuse... "well we have to format the replacements and that is going to take time" Unravelling this convaluted mess... is going to take some time for sure.

Hundred percent on that one Anthony. The Pavneet problem is not going away. There are hundreds more of us now focussed on it. I’m sure more testimony will come forward and I’m sure that if this is a pattern of behaviour that he’s been exhibiting since his mid 20s but more people will come forward as they get braver. We’ll have to wait and see. I don’t know if you’re in the loop or not but there’s a fairly substantial group that have developed some really cool tools for holding these people accountable. Have been testing them for the last couple of days and holy crap. These people are going to be butt hurt
We will hold this government accountable. And the Pavneet problem, yeah that isn’t going to disappear…

Hey @P_Ratchford , is this why you hired @OthmanMekhloufi and insisted on keeping him? You were repeatedly asked to fire him, but you refused, even though he was highly unprofessional, unproductive, and rude?

The real reason the EU withdrew it's offer to Carney of an Associate Membership. Trump called the EU’s proposal to make Canada an associate member “laughable” and said if he interpreted the move as a “hostile act”, the US might stop trading with Europe “on many things”. aljazeera.com/news/2026/10/2…

The BCTF has always scared me, because of the way they politicize teachers, students and classes. They are political grifters who need to butt out of the lives of parents and students -- and yes, teachers too! Go to hell BCTF. Millions of British Columbians would have been "scared" if the NDP won last weekend's provincial election because it would have meant the complete destruction of BC.
BC POLITICS: The woke BC Teachers’ Federation, which represents every public-school teacher in the province, sent members an anti-Conservative letter warning the election results may leave them “scared.” Parents need to be vigilant about their kids’ education.

‼️BREAKING: Quebec-Ottawa feud EXPLODES OPEN as PSPP boycotts Carney’s EU summit on Quebec soil. He also said Quebec wont attend to simply "serve the shrimp" 😂😂 Love this guy. The new PQ premier is refusing to attend the Canada-EU summit in Montreal after Ottawa denied him a speaking role. He’s sending a scathing open letter to European leaders warning that any deals made without Quebec’s consent “will simply not be implemented.” Latest: PSPP boycotts the summit entirely Open letter accuses Ottawa of sidelining Quebec and withholding critical info Warns Europe: no Quebec buy-in means no provincial implementation “Neither a chair at the negotiating table nor the opportunity to speak” “This dynamic creates uncertainty as to the application of the agreements you could negotiate” Ottawa is “retaining critical information… by fear that they do not match the democratic will of Quebecers” Rejects being reduced to “serving cocktail shrimp” as a spectator Calls it a strategy of “vassalization” of Quebec LFG, Stick it to Ottawa my man! Love this guy!!

They weren’t federal targets. They were provincial targets set by the NDP and the hamstrung local councils. It’s a very good thing that he’s scrapping that plan.
Replying to @Prominent_Bryan
I mean, like the federal targets, they were never real and had zero chance of being met.

I don’t know what’s wrong with you, but that is a great decision. I’m heavily involved in municipal politics and that was one of the policies that Amstrong counselors. It also annoyed municipal residence as they no longer had control of their OCP. Scrapping, the idea puts the power back in the hands of the counsellors and that is a good thing.

I don't need your lectures. I asked you two simple questions: 1) Othman openly admitted to sabotaging OneBC on behalf of CPBC. Were you part of the sabotage, or were you fooled by the "brown kid"? 2) Were you aware that he is negotiating on your behalf before the election to drop your lawsuit? Or were you fooled again?
It was only with great reluctance that I terminated both you and Othman from caucus. despite what either of you may say now, we had lightning in a bottle. I knew then that the kind of disunity being sown within the party would extinguish OneBC’s prospects of electoral success, which unfortunately it did. Perhaps there is a timeline in which somehow I persuaded you to rise above your grievances with Othman and our tiny little team continued together to shoot right past the Rustad Conservatives lumbering under the weight of their own internal divisions. It was not meant to be. I gave Dallas and OneBC and this province everything that I had and I have no regrets. I wish you both well in all your future endeavors.

This guy is absolutely not fucking around. Hit the translate button on his post....you won't regret it.
J’ai pris note aujourd’hui de la nouvelle offre de Mark Carney d’obtenir le droit de m’assoir à sa table d’honneur à titre de spectateur, sans droit de parole ni droit de négocier au nom du Québec. Cette proposition revient à demander au Québec de rentrer dans les rangs, avec la vassalisation et l’invisibilisation du Québec que cela implique, en échange d’obtenir de meilleurs sièges de spectateurs pour regarder la partie. Comme premier ministre, je refuserai toujours que le Québec soit réduit au rôle de spectateur lorsqu’il s’agit de représenter et protéger les intérêts économiques et politiques des Québécois. La réalité est que nous sommes devant une stratégie de marginalisation du Québec sur la scène internationale et de subordination des champs de compétence du Québec à la volonté du fédéral. Je note à cet effet que tous les chefs de partis de l’Assemblée nationale ont indiqué hier que s’ils étaient dans la position de premier ministre et devant un tel sommet sur le territoire du Québec, ils s’attendraient à prendre la parole et à participer à part entière. À Ottawa, le chef de l'opposition officielle ainsi que le chef du Bloc Québécois ont également appuyé notre demande. J’ai donc pris la plume et j’ai écrit aux représentants de l’Union européenne pour leur rappeler que des ententes qui impliquent l’Europe et le Québec doivent forcément passer par le gouvernement du Québec, et à plus forte raison si le sommet se tient sur notre territoire. Le refus de nous donner la parole à titre d’hôte pour souhaiter la bienvenue à nos invités y est également mentionné. Je lance donc l’invitation pour une discussion bilatérale dans un meilleur contexte qui permettrait au Québec de ne pas être exclu. À ce titre, j’enverrai le diplomate en chef du Québec, Pascal Paradis, pour ouvrir ces canaux de discussion pour la suite.

Don't waste your energy on him, Dan. He's clearly retarded. He's desperate for relevance. He's been booted out of everything he's tried. Just ignore him, he'll go away.
This scumbag needs to be arrested for blackmail and offering bribes. YOU are who the grassroots needs to get passed to form sensible democratic government.
