@moorehn oh!

@vancolour BC NDP probably also plays a factor

What this response (usually from BC Liberal-types) completely ignores is that the rise of the Conservative Party of BC wasn’t just in response to the big-tent BC Liberal Party being seen as too “liberal”. It was also a response to *who* was running the BC Liberal Party.

Not really on Twitter (call it by its name) anymore and I no longer work with freelancers like I did at @BusinessInsider, but this is an excellent thread of advice

I don't see any of the men upset at the 5am PT gold medal men's hockey game upset that this women's gold medal game is in the middle of the work day... STRANGE

I have personally played against and with many Canadian and American athletes who have opted to play for a different country (from their heritage), and no one cared about them.

I honestly think that people are upset at Eileen Gu because she is GOOD. She is the most decorated freestyle skier in history, and Americans are upset that the honour of that is not tied to them.

The idea of ordering chicken fingers at a WORK LUNCH.
