Why are BC conservatives so extreme on Indigenous issues? Like you never hear this stuff from any other province
TrendingPolitics.ca@TrendPolCa
BC Conservatives are being told to call First Nations people "Indians." A new BIV piece reveals the directive came directly from leader @KerryLynneFindl's office. 🧵👇(1/6)

@TruthFringe @MarkJCarney I had to ask Grok if this was satire.... unfortunately it is not..... WOW

The Rt. Hon. @MarkJCarney is holding a MASSIVE business (Brookfield) meeting in Toronto just days before Parliament resumes.
He's not even trying to hide it anymore.

@jessecmccormick @TamaraJansenMP @PierrePoilievre @MarkJCarney @shuvmajumdar How do you know that? Maybe Leo talked to her....
English

@TamaraJansenMP @PierrePoilievre @MarkJCarney @shuvmajumdar To speak on behalf of someone means to act as their official representative, spokesperson, or proxy, sharing their views, making decisions, or delivering a message because they are absent, unable, or prefer you to do so.
This isn’t that - this is politics dressed up as activism.

@liberal_party drops in the bucket. Fix the relationship with the US and actually remove interprovincial barriers and taxes

@raghu_venugopal Absolutely insane. I am continually shocked by the amount of highly intelligent people being totally blinded by a personal dislike of Trump

Boycott everything possible that's American. There's no deal to be had. Buy from anywhere else but there.

Let’s talk about your liquor store shelf, because it says a lot.
I get the anger. Trump’s tariffs are hurting BC families, lumber and auto workers especially. Wanting to hit back, I understand that.
But look what’s happening here. BC’s government runs liquor sales almost entirely. Eby said yesterday there’s not a chance in hell American alcohol comes back, even with new fifty percent tariffs now hitting us partly because of this policy. Want that bourbon or California wine? Not your call. Government already decided.
Compare that to Alberta and Saskatchewan. Both privatized, both paused US alcohol early on, both let stores decide for themselves by last June. Choice stayed intact.
And the cost of BC’s approach is real. Ontario, same government model, is sitting on seventy nine million dollars in unsold American alcohol. Product rotting in warehouses while people pay more for less of what they actually wanted.
Trump’s tariffs might be wrong. I’m not defending them. But is punishing our own consumers with fewer choices really how we win this?
When government decides what’s good for you and takes the choice away, is that protection, or control?
If you support the NDP, ask yourself. Is this really the Canada you want?

@amboultbee Hey let's care about our own issues not some other countries leader
English

It’s simple.
The BC Conservatives like Trump and are also afraid of alienating their base.
Mike Farnworth@mikefarnworthbc
Every time Trump turns up the pressure, the BC Conservatives want to back down. Whose side are they on?

There’s a huge misconception that conservatives are somehow celebrating these new tariffs. We’re not. We’re looking at how these negotiations, or lack of them, have been handled and pointing out the obvious consequences.
I care about the Canadian economy, which is exactly why I’m concerned. Instead of accusing conservatives of cheering for Canada to fail, maybe take a look at just how dependent our economy is on trade with the U.S.
Other countries have managed to make deals. Why can’t we get there? These tariffs aren’t a political game. Canadians will pay the price if we don’t get a deal done.

@Athena_is_her its def a good thought. Holding out hope for a move to an independent Alberta

@KahlonRav its almost like Findlay recognizes we can gain economically if we are willing to negotiate..... weird
English

@TamaraDavidson6 The BC Conservatives treat Trump’s trade war like a trip to the dentist. They don't like it but its reality unless you don't want to eat
English

The BC Conservatives treat Trump’s trade war like a friendly misunderstanding instead of an attack on Canada.
Ravi Kahlon@KahlonRav
An important listen. The Trump administration told Findlay and her team to drop the liquor ban and they just agreed. We knew the pro-Trump faction was in charge but defending him over Canadians is still shocking. Who are they fighting for?
English

@PrometheanActn @sjkokinda this is the most rational explanation I have heard yet of our approach with the US. Thank you!
English

You think President Trump's new 50% tariffs is about a dispute with Canada? Think again.
Canadian PM Mark Carney isn't defending Canada — he's the globalist's point man against Trump, & he's staffing Ottawa with globalist & Crown operatives.
@sjkokinda with the breakdown.
