The recent provincial election in BC confirmed that being an awful human being is no longer disqualifying in modern politics. For evidence, see: #BrentChapman
@pluralistic lays out a solid tactical plan which, while ostensibly written about countering #Project2025, could be adapted with few alterations into a battle-plan for countering the rise of right-wing politics in Canada:

I’m still aghast over this. There was a time (not that long ago) when political revelations like those about #BrentChapman would have ended a candidacy, but to have them completely overlooked by voters, especially in a riding as racially diverse as South Surrey, is truly a sad commentary on how normalized hateful rhetoric has become in this country.

It looks like #BrentChapman will be elected in his riding. I guess being a racist MAGA troll isn’t that much of a detriment for a candidate in BC in 2024. 🫤
I’m disappointed that the media (beyond @pressprogress) hasn’t focussed on some of the more recently unearthed #BrentChapman hate spew:
Good. This POS needs to step down.
“The pressure is mounting on the BC Conservatives after a number of offensive social media posts from a candidate were brought to light. Brent Chapman is running for MLA in Surrey South. As Grace Ke reports, he and his team are avoiding questions from the media.”
