Sep 30: 🇨🇦 National Day for Truth & Reconciliation

They just can’t help themselves. 🤦♂️
While the party scrambles to claim that they aren’t a bunch of residential-school denying racists ahead of National Truth and Reconciliation Day, watch for the complete lack of consequences s faced by the staffer.

The B.C. Conservatives are again dealing with controversial comments perpetuating residential school denialism, this time from a high-profile staffer who had a key role in shaping the party. #bcpoli https://thetyee.ca/News/2025/09/29/BC-Conservative-Staffer-Residential-School-Denialism/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=editorial
Given the chance, I think her words could resonate in a Provincial election against both the David Eby #BCNDP and the Rustad #BCConservatives (and whatever other parties happen to pop into existence).
It was nice to see a leader actually genuinely congratulate and lift up her rivals in the contest. A rarity these days in too many party leadership races!
Key lines from her speech:
"take on this province's billionaires, largest corporations, and big oil... who take far more than they give.
"democracy is in retreat around the globe, but I am encouraged to see young people in BC fighting back.”
"the BC Green Party has solutions”
"the BC NDP.. are making decisions based on scarcity and fear”
"David Eby... rolling out the red carpet for Donald Trump's inner circle of oligarchs to buy and control even more of our province”.
"The NDP's big idea… to double down on raw resource exports.... no manufacturing, no innovation, no vision for a future beyond more foreign billionaires ripping and shipping our resources while families wait for the wealth to trickle down.”
“while workers wait for fair wages and homes we can afford, the BC NDP doubles down on MAGA backed fossil fuel projects, ignores the need to obtain consent, and refuses to care for our community members”
”The horrors that we are witnessing now are the death rattle of the old world.”
"it is up to us force a new world through”
"We can build a plan to take back the public wealth that has been looted with real taxation on the ultra wealthy”
"Build on our massive advantage of renewable energy… create thousands of jobs”
"will reclaim BC's economy for working people… together we can build a resilient thriving province that respects indigenous sovereignty and our planetary boundaries.”
“we are worthy of better, and worthy of hope. When we learn to believe that again, we can win.”

“John Rustad survives B.C. Conservative leadership review with 71% support
MLA Elenore Sturko kicked out of B.C. Conservative caucus, following leadership review results”
There’s really two headlines here:
1) Conservatives clearly don’t have an issue with ol’ Rusty’s obvious ballot-stuffing efforts.
2) Sturko would appear to have been a challenger for the leadership and thus had to be ‘removed’ from the picture.

It's the 21st century conservative playbook. If you don't win, claim election fraud. If you can't win, commit election fraud.

BC Conservatives begin the process of looking for the most awful person possible to take over the party.
