That BC Greens Instagram post is pretty outrageous—it effectively calls Emily Lowan a liar & insists their member verification process is fine. Then, days later the party is forced (probably feeling under scrutiny by a lot of media attention) to add yet ANOTHER method for members to verify. #bcpoli
Transparent and fair? if the system is so good why do they keep changing it? They have added yet ANOTHER verification method now because they others patently didn't work!
Why aren't they giving candidates member numbers then? Media reported they aren't.

The @bcgreens.bsky.social are trying to limit the impact of @emilylowan.bsky.social's excellent organizing, like the BCNDP did to @anjaliappadurai.bsky.social. Whether this is incompetence or malice, the Greens need to rectify this, ASAP, or face irrelevance.
It's September 4 and the @bcgreens.bsky.social still have not rectified—or explained the rationale for—their unnecessarily onerous voter verification process. And the deadline for members to do this is Sept 13!
I got these replies from people TODAY. This is not participatory democracy. #bcpoli

preparing my thinkpiece on how a city elected a mayor who promised to shake things up and talked about vibes and swagger but voters seemed to tired of him and progressives fell in love with an inexperienced firebrand who pushed for a rent freeze while opponents attacked him for his stance on Israel

Excellent article on the case for legalizing collective bargaining for tenants, which @seanorr.bsky.social campaigned on in our #FightForHousing platform.
City Council has recognized housing as a human right. Now we need concrete action by all levels of govt.

JUST IN: City Council has voted to implement the new name šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm (‘Musqueamview’ in English) to replace the street name Trutch – after the anti-Indigenous, racist first Lieutenant-Governor of B.C.
The new name was gifted to the City by the Musqueam Nation.

My friends and I keep talking about how the stuff you're going to end up doing to help, if you're serious about helping, is not going to look heroic or cool. 99.9% of the work is tiny and boring and all the main characters are gonna have to reckon with that.
