All jokes aside, people from across the country are invested in Zohran Mamdani winning because the people need hope.
Folks are feeling run down. Things are bleak. We need proof that our neighbors still know how to make the right choice and that change is possible.

🚨Exciting #Burnaby news!! In addition to officially becoming Canada’s first #apartheidfreecity in AUG, the adoption of #APR 🍉 into its #antiracism framework just passed unanimously! SO proud & thankful to our councilors for setting a brave precedent. 👏🏻 #NOantipalestinianracism #solidarity #B4P

Good 🧵 about whiteness for us Canadian white ppl to read:
A word on #5
It’s not that I don’t feel comfortable in Canada but I’m more relaxed here because it’s the Caribbean. But there’s another reason that it’s a lesser burden: I don’t have to perform whiteness and it’s glorious!

Some more observations:
1. There are more men than women in this country
2. The Chinese food is the best!
3. Lawd it hot. This humidity is no joke
4. How do Guyanese ppl not wear sunglasses cause this sun is blinding!
5. Being in a Black country hits different. It’s so fucking relaxing 😎

Check out what happens in the #bcleg when an #mla like #ndp @rohiniarora.bsky.social stands against #antichoice #anti2SLGBTQIA+ lobbying groups like @arpacanada. EVERY CONSERVATIVE bailed, to avoid voting 🗳️ on #motion38 to condemn their hate! Shame on you cowards!

When the BC conservative party is "too woke" for you, you've got another option now 😬. Just a PPC party equivalent on the provincial level. 🤷🏻♂️
New BC political party just dropped 🚨
OneBC, launched by former BC Conservative MLA Dallas Brodie along with Tara Armstrong
Jordan Kealy, the 3rd ex-BC Con MLA, is not named in the press release
Among the new party's policy pitches, privatizing health care and banning teachers' strikes #bcpoli

Dallas Brodie is the MLA for Vancouver-Quilchena and the Interim Leader of OneBC. She is a former defence lawyer and television broadcaster. Since her election in 2024, she has quickly become one of Canada’s leading voices on the “reconciliation industry”. Dallas has the courage, honesty, and the audacity of a true leader. She also has a clear vision for the structural changes needed to bring back the opportunity for every British Columbian to prosper.

People who insist this app is less racist than X are the same people who insist that Democrats commit genocide better

The far right has successfully moved racist conspiracy theories like "white genocide" or the "Great Replacement Theory" from fringe ideas to the mouth of the president on live TV. By drumming up a fake crisis for white people, they create cover to pass bills that will harm all of us.

💯! #rohiniarora statement shows strong understanding & appreciation for our responsibility to historical awareness and to concrete good faith “truth & reconciliation” w/ Indigenous peoples, in so called Canada. The deplorable white supremacist reaction(s) to these words say it all. #settlerfragility
This is a powerful, fact-based statement. It’s unacceptable for elected officials to deny colonialism, the reality of unceded Indigenous lands — and the lasting trauma it causes. Learn the history.
@rohiniarora.bsky.social spoke the truth — and many of us stand with her.
