I really want Elliott as minister for higher education
I know it's not as high profile as finance but she'd be a great fit:
-she works in this sector
-could test of her managerial talent to fix this mess
-can fix the insane wokeness in it

It's been an historically remarkable weekend as British Columbia elects its first conservative government since 2013.
Just one example but I'd like to point out that "removing SOGI" was reserved for the so-called abnormal populist Right for a long time
Seems important now that everybody seems to think we should only listen to 'normal' people

Castanet article written by Pavneet Singhs campaign manager calls opponents questioning charges about a 12 year old being raped, a questionable immigration timeline and LMIA fraud racism.
Yet these are Conservatives remember guys. Blame it all on racism.
Racism is going mainstream, especially in our politics (Murphy’s Law of Politics) castanet.net/news/Murphys-La…
Adjacent to this and obviously important to me: what will they do with the mess in the post secondary sector?
So let's try to predict the first year of this give
Education: some easy Ws like bringing back grades. It won't change much (the decline started under the BC Liberals and it's the same people). But the Ws will be nice. Sogi will be renamed. Fights with the unions.
Healthcare: no changes. Canadian keep saying this is their number onr priority but aren't willing to vote for chanee. Fights with the unions
Indigenous stuff: they'll do the virtue signaling stuff like repealing DRIPA but dripa was never the problem so it won't do shit. It'll slow down this insanity but not stop it.
Economy: probably the easiest. Can just start some projects etc. Hopefully not too many handouts to their friends in the construction industry or lawyers. Optimistic on this file overall
Deficit: will be huge and made worse with the tax cuts (I doubt we will fully get them). Seems accounting tricks will hide it at first (like the 5b discretionary stuff). Heavily dependent on the economy though.
Sore loser
This is the deeply disrespectful behaviour of the newly elected MLA for Saanich North and the Islands. Filmed during the 2026 Provincial Election.
We believe the location of this horrendous video to be the Seniors Outdoor Recreation area in Sidney BC.
I’m shocked and dismayed that voters here wanted this individual to serve us in addressing critical issues in the riding I have called home for nearly 20 years.
Our ER at Saanich Peninsula Hospital has been closed overnight for 3 ½ years under the previous Green/NDP government.
The behaviour of this MLA-elect along with the dismissive, angry and disturbing speech given after last nights election result may show a pattern of behaviour that is troubling.

Conservatives: “we want to supercharge BC’s economy by building homes!”
Also Conservatives: “we don’t want to change existing neighbourhoods.”
BC friends. Looks like local planning is back on the table after yesterday:
Grok: What did the bc conservatives say about repealing bill 44???
The BC Conservatives have consistently opposed Bill 44 and said they would repeal (or get rid of) it.
Bill 44 (Housing Statutes Amendment Act, 2023) is the NDP law that requires most municipalities to allow small-scale multi-unit housing (typically 3–6 units) on lots that were previously limited to single-family homes or duplexes, with limited local ability to say no.
Key statements
2024 (under John Rustad): Rustad explicitly said “We are going to get rid of Bill 44” and described the provincial mandates as an “authoritarian approach by… a hardcore socialist government.” The party’s 2024 platform promised to repeal Bill 44 (while allowing municipalities that wanted the changes to continue them) and to shift more zoning authority back to local governments. He also said municipalities that preferred to keep single-family zoning should be free to do so.
2026 campaign (under Lorne Doerkson): The platform does not name a full statutory repeal of Bill 44 in the summaries available, but it strongly emphasizes local control. It states that “Where the density goes and what it looks like needs to be a decision of local government and local residents, not bureaucrats in Victoria.” Doerkson said in the leaders’ debate that “there is no way that David Eby or anybody else in Victoria should be demanding what municipalities build where and how.” The platform focuses on aligning zoning with official community plans and working with municipalities rather than imposing provincial mandates.
Candidate and party messaging during the 2026 campaign (including from Stan Sipos) stated that “The Conservative Party has made it clear that Bill 44 will be repealed” and that local governments and communities should decide density, not Victoria.
In short, the party’s longstanding position has been to end the province-wide forced upzoning rules in Bill 44 and restore greater municipal autonomy over land-use decisions. Existing rules stay in force until the legislature passes new legislation.
If you oppose such gentle density in your neighborhood, you are just a loser
I really hope the BC cons will not undo all of the zoning reforms

Stop being woke and being offended by what she said!
The speech police is for the Left
British Columbia Green Party leader Emily Lowan declares, “We are the only party who is equipped to stand against the Conservatives and their existence.”
Following the Conservatives’ majority victory, Lowan says she is “scared” of the incoming government and vows to fight it “in the legislature” and “in the streets.”

Can't wait to get my $2,000 tax cut (with my wife)
I'll be shocked if it actually happens
It's supposed to be next year, right?

BC had a conservative government — run by this entire same crew under a different name— literally 9 years ago
Why is the media encouraging mass forgetfulness
B.C. elects first Conservative government in nearly 100 years. Live updates here. ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article…
Rohini being saved by OneBC is going to make Wyatt super happy
At least two NDP winners are thankful for Dallas Brodie. Conservative candidates in two Burnaby ridings could have beaten the incumbents without a OneBC opponent. #bcpoli
