I guess let's have nothing but dog crate forests to maximize tax $$$!
Mark Marissen@marissenmark

This is crude NIMBY propaganda shared by TEAM. TEAM's knee-jerk opposition to development doesn’t help the public, it entrenches scarcity and hallows out our neighbourhoods. An apartment building generates far more in property taxes than a single-family home, for starters. Not to mention that building more apartments usually creates more walkable, complete communities. This also provides more housing options, especially for younger buyers and renters priced out of single-family homes. These are the people we need to come back to our city to restore neighbourhood character.

Not picky. A Canada back to the 34-35 million of 2010-2014 would be a dream. Back to being a worthy beacon to high value newcomers, back to a productive economy, where our young haven’t been undercut on the launchpad, and even have a fighting chance in the major housing markets. Where patients match to doctors years quicker, and months quicker on referral. Imagine that.

I wonder if this is cue to join @VoteCentreBC , @votebcunited, or even @bcndp !

This is not surprising. The BC Conservatives have shown little to no insight into why they lost the last election- in which they had a significant advantage of the popularity of the federal conservatives which they were often confused with. That advantage no longer exists. In the absence of a fundamental change and the way they conduct themselves their policies, their actions or their relationship to people I see no significant building of competency or trust. I’m glad we don’t have to decide today whether there will be an election because it would be very difficult to choose between a highly unpopular government and a reckless erratic opposition caucus that can’t even identify itself philosophically and does not currently have a leader

Do you want to save your nation? Have more babies. 2-3 is no longer enough. We need to normalize 5-7+ per Christian family. Your nation depends on it. How many kids are you going to have?

Precursor prior to joining the @BCNDPCaucus ?
Amelia Boultbee MLA@amboultbee

Sometimes I worry that politicians who claim “common sense” and make shouting “COMMON SENSE” from every rooftop slogan starting to use that as a reason or excuse not to look at evidence. Data. Y’know the stuff POLICIES are supposed to be based on. Political theories are the equivalent of fairy tales. Tell yourself whatever story about the tooth fairy you want. I’m interested in: What’s the problem we are trying to solve? And what does the data and evidence say that the POLICY and LEGISLATION needs to look like. Your little political fairy tales and feelings don’t matter as a politician and no one needs to idolize politicians as some kind of thought leaders or examples of moral superiority, in part because most politicians are some of the most mealy mouthed, weak ass, power hungry little rats I’ve ever met. If someone trying to be leader now suddenly is married and “wasn’t” before, what does that mean? When they become religious? When their positions on things they voted in are now opposite and there is no logical line of reasoning explained for the change? Thats stunting for power and those are the last kinds of people we want leading us. If lawyers acted half the way politicians do, we’d all be disbarred. Ask yourself if the person has an evidence based plan, or a catchy slogan before voting.

Caroline Elliott came across as very thin skinned. I would actually give her more of a 5/10 than a 2/10. I think in some ways she was above average, but in other ways, she was far below average. Some of her policy lines were good and she speaks in a way that can uniquely reach the crowd I will call “social media conservatives” although I’m not sure how much that really benefits her in a general election. But the problem is even if on certain policy fronts she can speak with some credibility, she also has a tendency to sound very dismissive and arrogant when she has not earned the ability to even approach a sort of attitude that she carries. When you’re telling a stage full of people with far better resumes than you that you’re the only one who can get stuff done you come off more like Mrs. Dunning-Kruger then someone who can be premier. Her inability to ever admit to making a mistake or being on the wrong side of an issue in the past is obnoxious and signals that she has an ego too big to correct mistakes and somebody who may even go back to past bad positions since she won’t actually be honest about her record having black spots. When someone will not admit to making mistakes in the past is because they don’t actually think they are mistakes, which means they are prone to repeating them. Caroline Elliott could maybe even be very good one day but I find that by her own performance can come across as a fussy academic who believes her blog posts from two years ago make her better than everybody else who has done more substantial work in their lives. And by the way, her claim that she was early out the gate against DRIPA is frankly Ludacris since she was the VP of a party that had no plan to appeal DRIPA in 2024 and was planning on running under that banner until the party took a dirt nap. A lot of her old blog posts gave only tepid opposition too much of the reconciliation industry nonsense that was going on at the time. Maybe there was an instinct deep inside her that wanted to say something more, but you could tell she was too nervous to say it louder than a whimper. Overall maybe she could even be an OK policy advisor, but running for leader she comes off as in over her head, arrogant and thin skinned.

Debate impressions and rankings: 1. KLF: In my opinion, she won the debate (followed closely by Fulmer, more on that in his section). She had a bunch of good zingers and jokes, no attacks against her landed IMO, sharp and direct communication and was rock solid on the issues. Avoided bait and traps like the seasoned pro she is. At times she was a bit low energy/boring but not terrible at any point. 9/10. 2. Fulmer: Way overperformed my expectations for a rookie politician. Was honest about his shortcomings on land acknowledgements, laughed and joked with the other candidates even while under pressure, stuck on his message about uniting the right and beating Eby, and delivered devastating blows to Elliott who withered under the pressure. He was much better at deflecting attacks than I thought he'd be. Came in looking like a competitor, went out looking like the clear front runner in the race. Overall I thought KLF did slightly better, but there's a strong argument that Fulmer won the debate. 8/10 3. Milobar: Solid as usual, but fairly boring. He's a smart guy and a sharp communicator. Avoided making any mistakes but for a populist Conservative crowd it felt pretty uninspired. 5/10. 4. Black: Press gallery/media types love this guy for reasons that escape me. Felt like the ghost of BC Liberal past on the stage. Good delivery though, he looked and sounded very comfortable. 4/10. 5. Elliott: She performed even worse than I expected, and my expectations were low. Sounded frantic in her attacks on the other candidates, came off as nervous and shaky, and lied multiple times about the other candidates. The reaction from the crowd to her obvious lies was telling. At times it felt like she was lashing out in every direction. It confirmed what everyone kind of already knew, unless her TFW staff are spoon feeding her every answer she is in trouble. If anyone lost the debate, it was Caroline Elliott. She clearly practiced a lot, but her preprepared lines were about all she had, so props to her prep team I guess. 2/10 Overall, very fun debate. Satisfying for an ABC voter. #bcpoli
