As I just replied to someone over on Bluesky:
Lots of #BritishColumbia residents will be made to suffer thanks to Eby's stupidity and hubris but BC Conservatives have made it clear that they *especially* have it in for #Indigenous British Columbians!
Apparently of five candidates in the #Vancouver-Quilchena riding the incumbent, Dallas Brodie, came last. Winner was BC Con's Carson Binda.

Which Council slate came first in each of Vancouver's 22 neighbourhoods? Plus turnout, the Mayor's race, party strength and Park Board / School Board results, area by area. Maps and analysis: cityhallwatch.wordpress.com/… #vanpoli
Gonna be a nail-biter! #BritishColumbia #BCElection2026

We're still counting up our receipts and building our reports for Elections BC.
But there's something we know for sure. We spent less than $400k to elect the whole COPE team.
Meanwhile, Ken Sim and ABC spent at least $2.5 million. They elected one.

Below it, a bar chart compares campaign spending: a tall lavender bar labelled “Ken Sim & ABC, $2.5M~” next to a short red bar labelled “COPE, <$400K.” Beside the bars, red text reads “People power beat big money.”

Want to know what's really in the Conservative plan? Looks like you'll have to pay to attend a Conservative party fundraiser to find out.
If at first you don't suceed, pry, pry again.
@broadwaysubway_ Project workers trying to lift a second deck plate in the 1400 block W Broadway. #Vancouver
#Vancouver @broadwaysubway_ Project is getting ready to lift remaining steel deck plates off south side of 1400 block W Broadway Ave. Traffic's been rerouted onto freshly-paved north side & plates are being un-welded. Worker tells me they're working round the clock on this!
Not surprised advance voting for #BritishColumbia general election is down 11% compared to 2024. Two yrs ago we voted in NDP to govern prov better than conservatives for 4 yrs, not to cynically call a 2-yr early snap election amid a trade war with U.S. cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

Sunrise in #Vancouver Fairview at 7:55am, looking down West Broadway from South Granville.
For whatever it's worth:
#Vancouver's 2026 election results [results.vancouver.ca/results…]
lists 209,711 ballots cast.
CoV's 2026 plebiscite results [results.vancouver.ca/results…]
llists 207, 489 ballots cast.
That's 2,222 fewer plebicite ballots than election ballots. #Vanpoli
