I don’t think NDP has moved further left over the last decade really.. just the Libs and Cons.

I am also not sure the right should get a pass on racism when the left is getting shamed for it. Both side should be held to the same standards, expected or not. Either way, the tweets were shameful And I’m glad the candidate step down. I will give the one candidate a little bit of forgiveness as he was only 16 at the time the tweet.
I understand your feelings and agree with them in principle but the left has made me BIG MAD in the last decade and I’ve always been BIG MAD at the right.

Everyone is screaming about the lack of ICU beds and government preparation, pointing the finger and blaming Trudeau yet when it’s pointed out that the majority of the governments in charge are conservative, the tune changes to, well Canadians don’t really wanna pay for it ?
I never blamed Trudeau for it… you’re being weird the last few days.

I've honestly hated paying for it, glad MSP is gone. I hated having to pay a bill having to call their number and it's busy all the time. I always felt there was a better system.

I was like "Really, he was only 16? That's kind of bullshit. Oh, wait, they're running an 18 year old."

I still don’t get the reference to Oprah? Is there something to it? Or is he just need an idiot kid?
I am going to definitively declare he was being a 16 year old “edge lord” and simply doing it for “the lulz.” I’m sure she has a massive Twitter following. I will give the poor guy a break based on this meaningless theory.

Yeah, I mean most of the overall pandemic handling can be laid at JT's feet, but I've been very hard on our provincial government for the last year.

La Paix @Nuk Soo Kow Did I forget to mention BC’s economy is up there leading the pack in Canada?

And that the NDP has successfully delivered 79% of the promises made in the previous campaign platform.

Oh, and successfully secured a majority govt!

There are lots of foreign born nurses and doctors* who are waiting for a Canadian provincial certification. We should have recruited and fast tracked them all to exams and then practice.

As long as you guys have your buck a beer sales though, right?
I remember visiting a site for a check up on a young project manager, there was a framing carpenter walking around this huge site yelling at all the crews joyously: “don’t forget to vote tomorrow and get your buck-a-beer!”

There are more Canadian doctors studying abroad than in Canada. Why you ask? Because we artificially throttle how many doctors we put through school here.
