I've largely stayed out of discussions of the provincial election, but I'm here to set the record straight: I've worked on more campaigns than I can count. It is called the "Secondary Tour." Typically, every campaign runs two tours. Primary, with the leader, and secondary, with other high-profile individuals to bring a boost to local campaigns. Gunn and Elliott are clearly bringing their efforts to other swing ridings in their regions that they know are in play. This is totally normal during an election campaign.

There is only ONE Poppy, it is RED for a reason. Respect our fallen.

With the 2026 Poppy Campaign underway, what are some of the ways Canadians can show their support for Veterans outside of wearing a Poppy? Here are some ideas! 👉Show you Remember by posting a photo of your Poppy on social media, and use #GetYourPoppy 👉If you’re a local organization, contact your local Legion Branch about requesting a collection box to support the 2026 Poppy Campaign. 👉Donate to the National Poppy Fund Online: legion.ca/donations

“Each year, Canadians step up with amazing support for the National Poppy Campaign,” says Sharon McKeown, Dominion President. “Their generosity and caring are what allow us to host a range of programs and support initiatives for our Veterans and their families across the country.” For a third year, the Legion’s collaboration with Amazon Canada will allow Canadians to receive Remembrance lapel Poppies at their doors. People across our vast country can fulfill their wish to wear a Poppy, including where there are no Legion branches or it is more difficult to find one. All funds raised locally during the campaign stay in the communities where they were donated. Close to 20 million dollars is donated to the Poppy Fund throughout the year to help Veterans, with much of that assistance coming in during the National Poppy Campaign. Funds go directly into initiatives to support Canada’s Veterans and their families and help promote Remembrance. Read more: legion.ca/news/articles/2026…

Simply stunning #Wainwright
Canadian Quilters united, to provide comfort through our quilts to those wounded in the tragedy at CFB Wainwright. We recognize that injuries, both visible and invisible may affect individuals for years to come. This is my contribution #wainwright #Canada #QuiltsOfValour

Based on what I'm hearing and my own analysis, I believe Victoria-Beacon Hill will go Green for the first time tomorrow. It won't be the only surprise of the evening.

The chaos and disruption this party will bring to B.C. if elected will benefit the wealthy and completely upend communities and ordinary citizens. There is no honesty or dedication to the people in anything BC Conservatives are offering. #bcpoli
Saturday, vote Conservative.

Women who are considering voting for the B.C. Conservatives should watch this #bcpoli #bcelxn
Do the BC Conservatives have a sexism problem? Outgoing MLA @amboultbee reflects on her tumultuous time in the B.C. Legislature with a unique perspective as both a BC Conservative and a New Democrat. This is VANCOLOUR @CHEK_News 📺

Hey BC, it's time for you guys to pull an Alberta and shut this shit down before it starts
And there you have it, Aaron Gunn will run to replace Lorne Doerkson. Aaron has even advised his federal riding assoc he plans to step down now that the Liberals have a safe majority to run as leader of the BC Cons. nanaimonewsnow.com/2026/10/2…

Don't do it #bcpoli. #Albertans regret our decision daily. ##NeverVoteConservative
The damage @ABDanielleSmith & @UCPCaucus have done to our province is horrendous, and that doesn’t acknowledge the depth of corruption we haven’t yet seen. But we will. And every single person will be held accountable. Call an election now. You have no mandate to govern.

Guaranteed #FridayFeeling giggles 😃 😂😂😂
🚨 JUST IN: First Lady Melania Trump just brokered a CEASEFIRE between Russia and Ukraine in the trapped front-line city of Oleshky Melania is AMAZING 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Starting Oct. 29, both sides will halt all fighting there so humanitarian aid can get in and civilians can get out through a safe corridor About 2,000 people are still stuck in Oleshky, mostly elderly, along with around 50 children She built the line of communication by reuniting 34 Ukrainian children with their families Best First Lady ever.

Watch out BC. We may end up with racist homophobe Gunn as Premier if we go the way polls are hinting. Remember that you may be voting for a gentle & moderate-appearing Doerkson but he isn’t guaranteed to be the leader due to this snap election. You may vote lamb but may get wolf.
Disgusting! Abhorrent behaviour! This is who the BC Conservative Party emboldens and attracts. #NeverVoteConservative

Irony has died a violent death. #DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead
"We are a party that is loyal to Canada, and we will support changes to ensure our autonomy within that framework." Premier Smith says the UCP has been a federalist party since day one, and that the referendum vote reiterates that.

A 150 MILLION DOLLAR POLITICAL HOAX. #DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead
That referendum sure wasn't worth the money, the division, the political goal of holding the UCP together. It was a political hoax. Column. calgaryherald.com/news/braid… #abreferendum #ableg #yyc #yeg #cdnpoli #abpoli
