Leadership Contest: Announcement YouTube video by BC Greens

So happy to see Emily Lowan @emilylowan.bsky.social decisively elected as the leader of the BC greens. Respect to Emily & her team for running a stellar campaign

Do watch her acceptance speech - a fine assessment of the political moment, and an encouraging plan for how we can fight and win #bcpoli

Canadians, no matter their colour, need to stay out of the US!! I will never, ever step foot on US soil, ever again. And I feel like the world shouldn't either. #forgettheus

First-past-the-post means Canadian politics is built around winning suburban GTA swing ridings.

Proportional representation means politics would be built around earning support from every voter, no matter where they live.

I wish they would not call it Western Separatists, BC wants no part of it. It should be centralist separatists.

A data visualization graphic titled "Which voters back proportional representation?" shows the results of a national poll conducted by EKOS Research. A large circular chart indicates that 68% of Canadians support proportional representation, while smaller charts display support levels by party: 72% of Liberal voters, 54% of Conservative voters, 83% of NDP voters, 87% of Green voters, 74% of Bloc voters, and 77% of PPC voters. The chart uses green for support, red for opposition, and gray for "don't know." The EKOS logo appears in the bottom left, and the website www.fairvote.ca/prpoll2025 is displayed at the bottom.

"Our nation, our beloved Canada is under threat." "It's a threat to our sovereignty, and our very future as a nation." "The threat comes, of course, from the president of the United States a convicted felon and known predator (rapist)."
