BC Election 2024

[Gone_Fishin]

Yes there were a number of BCCP candidates that made either during the election campaign or in the past despicable racist comments. That is on them, not the constituents they now represent. I do not believe that they were elected because of their racial comments, but because they represented a Party platform, which reflected the voters wants. Time to work together to solve our health and housing problems. These problems are province wide.

So why throw your shoulder behind Eby's cart, Eby the anti-Semitic, Hamas-loving terrorist sympathizer?

^^^^^
It is time that we started to work together rather than to see how we can tear things apart. We need to work together in BC to improve health and housing. The current legislative situation, a minority government, provides the opportunity to bring factions together to solve these problems. What we cannot change the situation in the Middle East with our BC politics. On the other side of the world 40,000 people have lost their lives and countless others injured in a violent confrontation in which all parties are unwilling to compromise or recognize the rights of others.
We need to work on the things we can change. In working to solve those problems, we can learn respect for others and cooperate. Expecting Mr Ebby to work with others to improve health and housing does not mean agreement with all NDP political positions or pronouncements. It means expecting our element MLAs to work for ALL BC citizens regardless of their political stripe, religion, race, or sexual orientation.

expecting our element MLAs

Element? "is a chemical substance whose atoms all have the same number of protons."
Eby's minions are all missing a few ...

So: Eminent? "a positive quality".
Nope, that's not it either.

Element:
-a fundamental, essential, or irreducible constituent of a composite entity… in this case the BC Legislature.
- a member of a specific set or whole… in this case the BC Legislature

The obligation of this current minority legislature to go through the elemental process of of working to improve BC’s health system and providing residential housing for all.

That's the second time (that I've noticed) you've said minority. The new government is at best a tie. Then the speaker would break a tie.

The NDP will never, ever work with anyone that isn't a social justice activist, a union thug, or an enviro-zealot.

Oh, add Jews to that list they won't work with: the NDP would rather they perished as a people than work one second with them.

Guo Ding is an award winning journalist, amongst other things, in Vancouver, BC. In English we don't commonly refer to people last name first and first name last. So why is it, all you English speaking people, writing in English, about a Canadian living in Vancouver are using a Chinese convention?

Is it possible you're all hearing foreign interference by expressing his name that way, and maybe I'm just not capable of hearing tones that high? That would certainly explain why I can't see anything "foreign" or "interference" in this story you keep trying to push.

I think it's great that you guys are questioning everything, but if I may, I'd like to suggest you go back to the definition of "foreign" and work your way forward from there.

Oh my. "all you english speaking people" On a razor thin edge to be a racist comment that one.
No, it can't be that CSIS has reports and investigations into foreign interference in BC elections. Ones they won't give to Eby because, well, they don't work for him. It can't be that Eby is close friends with and being advised by a person who is associated with a group that gets praise from the PRC.
Nope, can't be all that, must be racism.
Weird how when the left is in question it always comes down to racism, bigoty or sexism, all pointed out by the left of course.

By custom, the speakers vote maintains the status quo. In the case of a confidence vote, it votes to continue the government. In the case of a 3rd reading, the vote is to continue debate.

Not sure if that's been tested or an absolute rule.

News flash guys....

"English" is not a race. And, the BC Gov't granting money to a BC society is not an example of foreign interference. Even when it involves people that can speak a language other than English.

"English" is defined as an ethnicity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism#:~ ... rimination.

"Racism is discrimination and prejudice against people based on their race or ethnicity."
" According to the United Nations's Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, there is no distinction between the terms "racial" and "ethnic" discrimination."

Sorry, but it's still racism. Care to retract your comment?

As to the money moving, you conveniently left out the last part of that situation. Add that in and yes, there is reason to believe the PRC has a hand in that game.

Why would I withdraw the remark? Because you're so confused you can't figure out the difference between "English speaking" and "English people"? English people are part of an ethnic group. "English speaking people" are not.

"you English speaking people" Yes, that is a racist phrase, typed by you. Don't think so? Change the word English to any other language and see if you still feel the same. But yes, your comment was racist and out of line.

You've been going on for three pages now about how a $20,000 grant from the BC Gov't to a BC registered society is foreign interference in our election. I keep asking you how? And all you keep doing is alluding to CSIS reports, associations and connections. Good grief, you don't fact check anything you post and obviously you didn't cough up the $8.00 bucks to get behind the paywall on Cooper's story.

What is the foreign part of this grand conspiracy you've uncovered?

First, I didn't uncover it. Second, the grant wasn't the foreign inference, as has been explained several times now. Not my fault if you can't comprehend what you read.

Definitely got the "X reply guy" energy going on here. Rather than explain why you keep referring to Guo Ding as Ding Guo, you launch a lame attack on my character and try to accuse me of racism. Why don't you just acknowledge that it's odd to call someone by their last name first? I mean, if I kept calling you Boyfan, that would be weird - right?

"Keep referring to" You mean the once that I pasted quotes with his name, by someone else?? And which lame attack would that be? Did I say "you (insert whatever language you want) speaking people" at you?? Nope, don't think I did.
