I am disappointed he was not re-elected. He is one of the nicest guys in politics.
Niagara Falls, I’m so grateful for the last 16 years. Being your mayor has been the honour of my life. From my family to yours, thank you for your support, friendship & kindness. It means more than words can say. We’ve taken a couple of days to give our new mayor her moment in the spotlight, and for us, to enjoy some time together as a family. Best wishes to Mayor-Elect Lococo. @NiagaraFalls will always have my heart. ♥️

Happy to be part of a team that both won and exceeded expectations two elections in a row. #mbpoli
Great to be part of a big win in tough conditions in Winnipeg! #mbpoli

Running a positive campaign may be ideal in theory but impossible when you are an unpopular incumbent running against a popular opponent. Sim had high teens approval rate, the ABC campaign was actually really good and got the best possible result for the circumstances. #vanpoli
Defeated ABC Councillor @sarahkirby_yung is quite right. @KenSimCity and ABC's campaign was far too negative. "I think leading with positivity is really important. I think that's what people are looking for, not more division." Said she was not part of campaign decisions. #bcpoli

Proud of the whole team and some of these big wins, particularly Oakville, Hamilton, and Milton, also glad to be done a long six months and hoping for a relatively light November! #hamont #onpoli
The team at Clear Impact Strategy had the opportunity to work with a bunch of municipal campaigns in Ontario, including winning some hotly contested mayoral races. There were a couple of tough losses too but overall it was a good day and we learned a lot. #onpoli #hamont

This is really concerning as someone who has four train trips coming up in Spain in the next four weeks....

Seriously, please. No more elections this year (after MB municipals tomorrow).
With the Ontario municipals over can we have a pact to not have another election for awhile? I’m tired.

A few months ago I heard that @AndreaHorwath had brought in national NDP people to save her campaign. I guess it was the @theJagmeetSingh team. #hamont

This is not how you want to close a campaign....
BREAKING: Bonnie Crombie is apologizing for suggesting to @readpolicorner that the Liberal label “wasn’t a good fit” for her. “My wording was imprecise, and I’m so sorry for the confusion I caused” she says in a statement, with half an hour left to vote. Full statement:

From 2020 to 2026 the BC NDP went from 13/17 of seats in Richmond/Delta/Surrey/Langley to 0/19. Thats a huge realignment and represents the majority of the change that happened in that period. If the NDP can't compete south of the Fraser River they may as well give up. #bcpoli

Why did @Dallas_Brodie decide to stay in Vancouver Quilchena where she is currently running fifth? Has to be one of the least hospitable conservative ridings in the province for her brand of politics.

So this was just totally fake right?
The riding of Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream is a tossup between OneBC’s Alexandra Wright and BC "Conservative" Pavneet Singh. Vote for Alexandra if you love freedom, prosperity and hiring Canadians citizens.

Congratulations to @Conservative_BC on running an excellent campaign particularly given the circumstances and also lol at @Dave_Eby for the hilarious fuck up of the decade. Sometimes being cynical really bites you in the ass. #bcpoli #BC26

The strategic decision here seems to be that Israel doesn't care about support from the West in general as long as they have a good relationship with Donald Trump personally. That seems incredibly shortsighted.
Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered Israel to support Argentina over the Falklands, The Telegraph can reveal. The Israeli prime minister told diplomats to change his country’s official position and join Buenos Aires in calling for direct talks over the future of the islands. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…

Because the self-determination of a settler population, even after nearly 200 years, counts for nothing? Is this really where Israel wants to go?

The thesis here is that healthcare is bad in Canada in part because BC will probably in the future elect a Conservative government?
Conservatives: Canada is poorly run. Housing and healthcare are terrible. Also conservatives:

Tonight feels like one of the only nights this month without an election. What is there to do at night other than watch election results come in nervously? #bcpoli #topoli #ableg #onpoli

Distancing yourself from the leader the day before election day is a tactic that almost never works and usually makes things worse but it happens again and again. #bcpoli
The BC NDP is bigger than one person. It’s a team that believes that access to healthcare shouldn’t depend on your ability to pay; that kids should have quality education; that every worker deserves safe work and fair compensation; and that... 1/3 facebook.com/share/r/1Hvc5Pw…

This is an interesting comms product because normally these are done to show certain parties can't win so their supporters should vote strategically, but do they imagine NDP and Green supporters will vote OneBC to stop the Conservatives? Seems unlikely! What is the goal?

The BC NDP has discovered the concept of secondary tour and finds it sinister and worrying. They are campaigning like they are losing and desperate.
NEW — The BC NDP is claiming that Lorne Doerkson’s “rivals” Aaron Gunn and Caroline Elliott are actively seeking to take his position.
