I would like to take this time to congratulate all those drivers in #BC who waited out the requirement for the second road test and may now remove their #N. No judgements on why you didn't just take the test. 🤣

I truly hope this becomes @Dave_Eby and the @bcndp 's glass of orange juice!
NEW: David Eby confirms his family has personally accessed $10 a day child care. The NDP under John Horgan promised universal $10 a day - but only 10% of spots today are $10. Advocate Sharon Gregson says, under Eby, BC has most expensive child care in Canada. #bcpoli @GlobalBC

I hope with all my might that the people of BC see this as the slimeball move that it is and get rid of the @bcndp . I know it won't happen, but I can hope. Nobody vote @bcndp !! @Dave_Eby

This, 100%
So let me get this straight…..a couple months ago, we had to PAY MONEY TO become a member of the @Conservative_BC then vote for a leader. After paying the fee to vote, our leader won! Then the same party, who took my money. Decided my candidate who won and was democratically voted in wasn’t good enough or didn’t tow the line. So for no reason stated by ANYONE, Kicked out the leader we donated and voted for and then Picked us a new leader?

I've clearly listened to too much True Crime because I knew this would be the result.

Disney launched a new ad where a dad and son share a night time walk on a cruise ship, across an entire lifetime. Every parent needs to hear this: the moments feel small until they’re gone. Put down the phone. Spend the time. It’s the only thing they’ll remember.

It really was an amazing place to grow up. Too bad it's being destroyed. 🇨🇦

A good read, maybe especially eye-opening for the #elbowsup crowd.
BC Ferries: Emails Change Everything- Committee to Haul In Freeland & Co. Ottawa- In Ottawa they call it “arm’s-length.” Out in the real world, people call it duck-and-cover. At Meeting No. 6 of the House of Commons transport committee, MPs confronted a simple, damning timeline: Transport Canada’s top non-partisan official was warned six weeks before the public announcement that BC Ferries would award a four-ship contract to a Chinese state-owned yard. Yet the former transport minister, Chrystia Freeland, told Parliament she was “shocked.” Those two facts do not coexist in nature. One is true, or the other is. There’s an even bigger betrayal hiding in plain sight. In the last election, this Liberal government campaigned on a Canada-first message—jobs here, supply chains here, steel here. And then, when it actually mattered, they watched a billion-dollar ferry order sail to a PRC state yard with no Canadian-content requirement attached to the federal financing. So much for “Canada first.” Turns out it was “Canada… eventually,” after the press release. Conservatives put the revelation on the record and asked the only question that matters in a democracy: what did the minister know and when did she know it? The documents they cite don’t suggest confusion; they suggest choreography—ministerial staff emailing the Prime Minister’s Office on how to manage the announcement rather than stop the deal that offshored Canadian work to a Chinese state firm. Follow the money and it gets worse. A federal Crown lender—the Canada Infrastructure Bank—underwrote $1 billion for BC Ferries and attached no Canadian-content requirement to the financing. In plain English: taxpayers took the risk, Beijing got the jobs. The paper trail presented to MPs is smothered in black ink—hundreds of pages of redactions—with one stray breadcrumb: a partially visible BC Hydro analysis suggesting roughly half a billion dollars in B.C. terminal upgrades to make the “green” ferry plan work. You’re not supposed to see that. You almost didn’t. How did the government side respond? With a jurisdictional shrug. We’re told, over and over, that BC Ferries is a provincial, arm’s-length corporation; the feds didn’t pick the yard, don’t run the procurement, and therefore shouldn’t be blamed. That line is convenient, and in a technical sense it’s tidy. But it wilts under heat. The federal lender is still federal. The money is still public. If “arm’s-length” means “no accountability,” it’s not a governance model—it’s a get-out-of-jail-free card. The fallback argument is economic fatalism: no Canadian shipyards bid, we’re told; building here would have taken longer and cost “billions” more. Maybe that’s true, maybe it isn’t—but it’s the sort of claim that demands evidence, not condescension. Because the last time Canadians heard this script, the same political class promised that global supply chains were efficient, cheap and safe. Then reality happened. If domestic capacity is too weak to compete, that’s not an argument for outsourcing permanently; it’s an indictment of the people who let that capacity atrophy. And if you swear “Canada first” on the campaign trail, you don’t bankroll “China first” from the Treasury bench. Even the process looked like a master class in delay. The committee repeatedly suspended to “circulate” and “review” lengthy motions, while edits ricocheted across the witness list. There were pushes to pare back which ministers would appear at all, and counter-moves to tuck sensitive testimony behind closed doors. In the end, members nudged toward a compromise—Public Safety in open session, other national-security witnesses in camera—but the pattern was unmistakable: every procedural minute spent on choreography was a minute not spent on the timeline. And after all that stalling, here’s who they’re hauling in—because even Ottawa’s fog machine couldn’t hide the paper trail forever. They moved to recall Chrystia Freeland herself—the minister who claimed to be “shocked” after her own department had a six-week head start. She’s the centerpiece witness, and rightly so. On the security front, the Public Safety Minister is slated for an hour in public, followed by an hour with officials, while the national-security reviewers will give their evidence in camera—translation: the part you most want to hear will happen behind closed doors. Industry voices are on deck too: Seaspan (the transcript garbles it as “C-Span”), Irving Shipbuilding, plus labour and trade heavyweights—the BC Ferries & Marine Workers’ Union, BC Building Trades, the BC Federation of Labour, the Shipyard General Workers Federation, and the Canadian steel producers—the people who can say, under oath, exactly what Ottawa knew and when the alarm bells rang. They even tacked on Ontario shipyards via a “friendly amendment”—because apparently no one thought to ask central Canada’s yards until the story blew up. And then the hedge: Liberals worked the amendments to pare back which ministers would face the lights—especially Revenue and Labour—prompting Conservatives to call the move “intolerable.” In other words, invite the easy witnesses, bury the consequential ones. The fight over those two remained live at that point. So yes, the committee will finally hear from the people who matter—Freeland, Public Safety, shipyards, unions, steel. But notice the choreography: showcase the safe bits in public, tuck the sensitive parts out of view, and keep chipping away at the ministerial witness list. That’s not transparency; that’s stage management with a security badge. Strip away the talking points and what remains are questions no serious government would duck. When did the minister learn the contract was going to China? What did her office tell the PMO and when? Why did a federal loan—the leverage Ottawa actually controls—carry zero requirement to build any of it here? And why are the documents that might answer those questions buried under redactions thick enough to pave a road? Canadians are not children. They understand that ferries are essential and that delays are costly. They also understand something else: when a government runs on Canada first and then cheers from the dock as the jobs steam away, that’s not “arm’s-length.” That’s arm’s-length accountability—which is to say, none. Until the emails are unredacted and Chrystia Freeland answers the timeline under oath, the government’s position amounts to this: trust us, the money’s independent, the decisions were someone else’s, and the facts you’re not allowed to see fully vindicate us. Sure. And the check is in the mail.

I've been following this story for a while. People think they can just do whatever they want and then ask forgiveness. Good on #WestVan council for upholding this decision. In a previous article, the family cited racism as the reason. nsnews.com/local-news/west-v…

My 26 yo daughter is looking for solid information on the #Conservativepartyofcanada election platform, trying to decide who to vote for. Where is a good place to get this info that isn't MSM? #Election2025

The fact we’re getting slapped with tariffs tomorrow while in the middle of this leadership circus is ridiculous. And spare me the “government can function”. Executive powers are not absolute and should not go unchecked.

I thought that the singing of #OhCanada was the worst I've heard. But worse than that is that anyone can change the lyrics of our national anthem for a political point. I can only imagine the outrage if a singer had done this to the American anthem. #4Nations

X is hilarious, everyone hates the #SuperBowl    half time show. Go on Tik Tok and they say it's the best one ever! Let's say, it all depends on your age and @kendricklamar probably doesn't care if you hated it. It was cool.

Hey @JustinTrudeau , maybe it's time to get the government back together? Is this not a crisis for our country? Clearly @melaniejoly was ineffective. #tariffs #Trump
