Oh look! The BC Conservatives released their platform 4 days b4 #BCElxn2024, after over 500k people (at least) have already voted.
Stupid, or 4D Chess?

Anyway, this is an instant Classic:
"The initial [education platform] release called to "remove classroom material that instills guilt based on ethnicity, nationality, or religion," which was changed in the later release to "uplift all kids by ensuring the ideological neutrality of classroom materials." #sogi123
