This is a wild story: The BC Ministry of Education got caught conspiring with some cops in Victoria, in order to go after...

THE LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD!!!

Because the duly elected board took cops out of schools.

They GOT RID OF THE SCHOOL BOARD. To help the cops.

Now the board is being reinstated by the Ministry. Because the Minister's highest level bureaucrat got caught, caught, caught texting with a slur-happy cop.

@Jam123 Oh but we can! The nice people the people of Victoria elected will now get the cops out of schools! Because the deputy chief of police in Victoria was not bright enough to know his texts would totally derail all his hard work to subvert democracy! Win win win!

I was never in support of cops in schools unless absolutely necessary. The fact that high level civil servants conspired with fascist cops to get this board removed seems illustrate why.

Seems like there should be a slough of legal charges and removals from office given what was up.

@RobotDiver You betcha! get the popcorn, this is going to be fun. Because the BC NDP just lies and hides info as a reflex, and never ever admits mistakes. So this should really drag out. I have confidence that @emilylowan.bsky.social and the @bcgreencaucus.bsky.social will have a good time with this one.

@RobotDiver @emilylowan.bsky.social I'm sure they'll be back once they have more resources. I really think she and her team are doing a fantastic job these days. They already hold enough support to represent the margin of victory in many ridings. It's pretty impressive.
