Liberal strategist Greg MacEachern said that Vancouver Island is a race between the NDP and Conservatives.
Mark Carney has been here once in three weeks.
Here on the Island, it's NDP MPs who can defeat the Conservatives. Please share and spread the word!
Well @MLABrennanDay, several people sent this. Will you share a public statement expressing your concerns
Amazing!!
Loved Premier @Dave_Eby’s speech at #InvictusGames2025 just now! Well done. Funny, relevant and inspiring. #bcpoli #cdnpoli #IG2025 #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦🙌🏼🍁

Commissioner Hogue’s Final Report is a wake-up call and reinforces the need for action. The threat posed by foreign interference to Canada’s democratic institutions and processes is real. It is now time for the federal government and all political parties to act.

Thank you to @RABlaney and the hundreds of residents of Powell River who came out to hear about Bill C-413. Our fight against residential school denialism and the incitement of hate against Indigenous Peoples begins with conversations like these within affected communities.

Justin Trudeau failed in the biggest job a Prime Minister has: to work for people, not the powerful.
The NDP will vote to bring this government down, and give Canadians a chance to vote for a government who will work for them.
Very sad to hear about the passing of Brian Forbes, a great advocate for Veterans and Chairman of the National Council of Veterans Associations. I offer my condolences to those who loved him, his family, and the Veterans he helped.
When will the Liberals stop labelling women as Golddiggers? The sexist archaic Marriage after 60 pension clause must be eliminated and all Parliamentarians agreed just last week, but the Liberals continue to break their promise to RCMP Veterans, CAF Veterans and their spouses.

NDP MP @RABlaney expresses solidarity with Canada Post workers:
"Why is it that management feels comfortable padding their pockets and then point[ing] the blame at those who strike?"
This is terrible behaviour for people representing Canadians. Shocking behaviour for adults.
Weaponizing Remembrance Day is shameful. Thanks to @CharlieAngusNDP for raising the issue today in Question Period. #Veterans #RemembranceDay

I saw many familiar faces at the 2nd annual Parliamentary Reception in honour of women who serve(d) in the military and RCMP. Big thanks to MP Rachel Blaney (@RABlaney) as we celebrated the contribution of these outstanding veterans #WomenInUniform #ServiceAndSacrifice

It may be quicker if you just list the BC Conservative candidates who haven’t said heinous shit.

This is absolutely ridiculous.
Watch as a Big Oil CEO denies that fossil fuels are linked to Climate change.
It's clear. Big Oil is burning the planet without hesitation.

Relevant for #bcpoli in light of Mr Rustad's pledge to break up the public auto insurance system in BC. According to Statistics Canada, BC premiums in 2023 were 6.6% lower than in 2017, compared to a 17.9% avg rise in Canada--and a 41.8% jump in Alberta. Why mess with success?
On National #TRC Day, I wish for hope & healing for all Inuit, Métis, and First Nations Peoples and give thanks to all who help keep the stories alive to guide us to healing, incl elders & knowledge-keepers, and all survivors and their loved ones who have shared their stories.
