Screenshot of an article by Rob Shaw titled “Rustad’s free-vote revolution collapses under pressure.” The subheading reads, “B.C. Conservatives’ bold talk about conscience and courage crumbled the moment unity proved more valuable than principle.” Below is a photo of BC Conservative Leader John Rustad wearing a navy suit, white shirt, and glasses, standing outdoors with a serious expression.

The issue isn’t free votes. It’s forcing BC’s entire right-wing spectrum into one party and expecting stability.

Proportional representation would end the need for every conservative to crowd into one tent and let them champion different ideas without heavy-handed leadership.

It makes a big difference.

Graphic showing the CFAX 1070 and iHeartRadio logos with the headline: “93% of submissions on electoral reform support proportional representation.” Below, it reads: “Ryan Campbell, Board Member, Fair Vote Canada joins Josh.” Next to a photo of Ryan Campbell, a quote says: “We see the consequences of first-past-the-post in the United States with Donald Trump and increasing polarization of politics in Canada into two camps, left versus right. First-past-the-post is pretty rare among OECD countries. Three use first-past-the-post: Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.” The layout features white and dark gray backgrounds with red and black text.

Fair Vote Canada board member Ryan Campbell joined CFAX Victoria to talk about BC’s electoral reform consultations.

93% of submissions called for proportional representation. The message from the public is clear: make every vote count.

I’d be curious to see a study one way or the other. People care a lot about travel time so I could see it attracting more riders even if people walk a bit farther to get to it… but it depends on the details

This is so good.

Isn't that mostly saying the same thing? The Hobbits need to change to survive.

Keep in mind the third and fourth parties are arguably pro russian too.

Trump Fired a U.S. Attorney Who Insisted on Following a Court Order

BREAKING NYT:
 
Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.
 
Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

Oh I meant that in a good way, dont worry.

Worse than crack

Thats not a small sample. Statistics are a thing.

Demand the buffet’s return pla <3

Really it’s David Eby’s mistake for not including one

I think you’s still want to raise to the max either way wouldnt you

Ok but the mayor will always run city wide and council races largely havent started

Not sure how the at large council voting system makes thr mayoral race statt early.

We've been campaigning to get people to fill out TransLink's survey about BRT and we're down to the last 29 hours before it closes! Many thanks to @rmtransit.bsky.social for sharing our cute little video with his 340k subscribers!!!

Thats close to the percentage of votes though.

I think the trend is the concern not the current numbers though

One additional gripe I have in Metro Vancouver is that growth didn't pay for past infrastructure. 18% of my utilities bill goes to pay debt from previous projects. So a new build pays not only for growth, but also past growth. Doesn't seem fair.

Was Clinton illegitimate too?

:(

Why can't anyone get along in Langley?! The Township isn't just clashing with the City, but it's also with their animal welfare provider, who've just been given a 30 day notice of termination. It would be funny if it wasn't going to get innocent animals euthanized www.lapsbc.ca/statement-fr...

Three Arrows isn't a Nazi symbol.

At a quick glance though Glaswegians are choosing between ~9 candidates vs 30 for Portland.

As someone who had to spread something like 27 votes around between 120 candidates here in Vancouver, I’m sympathetic to having some reasonable requirements for ballot access to keep things manageable.

I feel that criticism applies to most single family homes too.

I hope the geotech has good insurance.

Awesome! Congratulations!

How about stop killing off fire resistant tree species.
