BC Conservatives are talking about "centre-right" voters. I will note there is nothing centrist about a party that says 5G spreads COVID, vaccines make you magnetic and spread disease, we ought to ban books, and that LGBTQ folks are "degenerates" and "groomers." #bcpoli

Let me see if I’ve got this right. The day a B.C. Conservative candidate gets caught calling criminally charged anti-vax convoy types “inspiring,” John Rustad is reassuring people his party is totally stable by … appearing alongside Jordan Peterson. #bcpoli

I watched this yesterday when BC Premier David Eby said this first and said it better. Also David Eby didn't give Bell $40 million with no job guarantees or rubber stamp the takeovers. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

I got Pfizer vaccine D1. Side effects are similar to what I'm hearing re. other vaccines including AZ. A day after the shot I had a headache and some mild chills. Took Tylenol, got some sleep, feeling A-OK today.

Re. the latest #BCNDP campaign drama: The answer is yes approved leadership candidates can contact party members. It's right there in the leadership campaign rules. You've all read the rules, right? #bcpoli

Call out BC Conservatives on climate change denial or LGBTQ attacks and they play victim and cry freedom of speech. But when someone says something they disagree with they try to cancel them faster than a mistaken Freshslice Pizza order. Weak. #bcpoli

Wow, Falcon directed Rustad's response on if already nominated conservative candidates will be dropped. Falcon says "details" before Rustad answers "we're not going into details..." And then Rustad dodged the question three times

David Eby has picked his cabinet team. The task is like perching a Toyota Prius on the Seattle Space Needle - but I think the premier has found the right balance between stability + experience and change + new energy to get things done for people. Now - on with the work. #bcpoli

. @KevinFalcon to me today: "John (Rustad) has attracted, frankly, a clown car full of candidates that have really extreme opinions that he apparently is quite comfortable with allowing as part of his party. "And that's not a bug, that's a feature of the BC Conservative Party."
