@CBCAdrianH Should journalists who use "our platforms" for paid political third party advocacy be subject to the same Elections Canada scrutiny as other third party advocates? More than just journalistic ethics, it may also be at odds with the Canada Elections Act. Issues will arise or not.

@DanAlbas Actually, @DanAlbas , that is an outright lie, as you know. The Harper F-35 Scandal was notorious, broke rules, relied on single-sourcing, misleading and utterly unreliable claims. US Secretary of Defense repeatedly threatened then F-35 design with cancellation by 2013. It's 2023.

Will #ProportionalRepresentation will ``Make every vote count"? No, actually #PR will make party votes count and take away our right to elect the MLA for our riding. #ProRep is about party and movements seeking power, not our vote. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

A healthy democracy is one where votes translate to seats in the legislature. But the current First-Past-the-Post system doesn't allow for that. The only way people can ensure their voices are heard is by voting for #ProportionalRepresentation on Oct. 22. #bcpoli

@Canadian_Crown Celebrating #Coronation of King Charles III is an opportunity to build national unity through shared experience as Canadians within our national traditions and unity within the #Commonwealth of nations, our most important relationship regardless of ancestry. @CanadianPM #cdnpoli

@ricochet_en Let's be clear, Canada's monarchy, our royal family, the Commonwealth and British connection are central to #Canada 's identity, cultural and constitutional life, future and historically. #RoyalVisitCanada #cdnmedia #cdnpoli

The @Surreyps was discredited former #Surrey mayor Doug McCallum's vanity project, certain to be called into question or removed with him; due diligence of members or job seekers necessarily identifies these facts, evident @surreypolunion political interference notwithstanding.

@Surfcrest @dogwoodbc Oil tankers don't sail through cities. The number of passages increased per month is minimal to inconsequential. Risk mitigation is responsible, obstruction is not. Trade is the major source of economic activity in #Vancouver , ephemeral film and tourism "industries" follow.

@AJWVictoriaBC The best way to support the B.C. Wind industry in the present case is to read the constitution and live within it. The wedge politics, protest politics, being practiced divisively by the @BCNDP ,enabled illegitimately by @BCGreens , is an example of movement-party failing. #bcpoli

@ILInationhood Given the record of "indigenous" people on the environment, nature, and climate change, the idea of "Indigenous Protected & Conserved Areas" is rather like the Noble Savage, all trope or meme. Cover for a political agenda and identity politics I am afraid.

@Garossino @Red_Toryism So what you are saying, then, is the contemptible imbecilic #TruckersForFreedom illegal #Ottawa street blockade was equivalent to the violent apprehended #January6 #Insurrection at the US Capitol? The prime minister and government, I suggest, were remarkably patient. Too much so

@tales_tomorrow The @CPC_HQ has been a failure since its founding as Reform in 1987. Outside of here, in the West, Canadians in the majority did not realize how far from the PCs Tories thought they were voting for really is. "Unite the Right" was a moral and practical failure. #cdnmedia #cdnpoli
