Loss of business @hulloferries $50 for two bags is ridiculous and cost you our choice of travel. @BCFerries may take 100 mins compared to your 75, albeit from downtown Vancouver but not worth the cost.

Conservatives have governed BC under the names “Social Credit” and “BC Liberals” for 52 of the last 74 years. Uninformed people should stop portraying this as the first time BC has had a right wing govt in 100 years.
Then they need to be corrected when they spout their #bced false claims. Every time you see it repeated, refute it with facts! They hate facts!
When he says get back to, from where? Is he really asserting that #bced teachers are not teaching all the basic skills that students need?
@TeriMooring sums it up best. Uninformed about SOGI!
Is he really stating his party would make schools less safe for ALL students?
This is an insulting, uninformed, and disrespectful take on what’s happening in #bced. Teachers and EAs work hard everyday despite the chronic underfunding, to educate our students. Often at the expense of our own health.
Maybe go visit a school Lorne?
Please, @CBCReporters, @CBC stop calling it “footy” and “The World’s Cup.
World Cup & football or soccer @FIFAWorldCup footy is Australian Rules Football
Why pick just one?
A narcissistic authoritarian orange muppet is so much more than both of those.

We combed through the records and found that Poilievre has voted against workers over 500 times. One throwaway line about workers doesn’t undo that record. It’s not a slip-up, it’s a strategy. Poilievre’s platform shows he’s determined to leave workers behind. #Elxn45

BREAKING: A Russian scientist who opposed Putin’s war, fled Russia & found work at Harvard was detained at Logan Airport returning from a French academic conference and has been sent to an immigration detention center in Louisiana for deportation to Russia currenttime.tv/a/rossiynka-s…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Kseniia Petrova was arrested after she failed to declare biological specimens (frog embryos) in her luggage. If she is deported, she will be sent to France, not Russia.

This is not the time to run scared. This is the time to stand up. I think most people get that. #cdnpoli

Racists and xenophobes hate being called out for what they are. If we let their comments stand we are complicit in their racism. #HateSpeech has to be called out.
Usually these people use a 🇨🇦 or other symbol to demonstrate they are just patriots. Call them out please!
