BC Election 2024

[LovemyBolt]

The vast majority of Canadians don’t agree with your “look over there trump” fear mongering .

Who said anything about Trump? Unfortunately, that kind of retrograde mindset is infecting Canada and other parts of the democratic world.
The vast majority of Canadians are decent civil humans. Not the loud whackjobs that are getting way more attention than they deserve.

Exactly. It's interesting to see the mindset behind voting against one's own best interests, though. Meanwhile, back in BC, we have the option of voting for a party with "conservative" in its name or voting for a party that was too daft to fix what the voters were telling them was wrong with their party - unless we want to allow the NDP to continue the current march toward socialist dictatorship.

It's interesting to see the mindset of voters who vote for parties who have large contingents of members that will force the limitations of civil and human rights on the citizens due to their messed up religiously based belief systems.
The BC religious contingent is now in that BC con party. At least the Uniteds are just on the take with corporations, like always.
I will vote for parties that do actually put the citizens first. Not their own ideology or religion that suppresses the citizens.

Let us know which of our civil and human rights are likely to be "limited" by the Conservative Party of British Columbia, and let us know how likely they'll be in achieving these limitations on our rights if they're elected.

We can then have an interesting time comparing the potential limitations of those civil and human rights with those already successfully limited by the current NDP government as they continue suppressing citizens' rights in pursuit of their own ideology.

yes, it's quite hilarious that the Jew-hating NDP (who ever forced out a Jewish cabinet minister from their ranks) are going to lecture anyone else on "civil and human rights being limited". These NDP scumbags are the worst when it comes to "human rights", just complete animals, barely even human beings. Just disgusting.

The vast majority of Canadians want common sense government and ignore the fear mongering that is all that remains for the loser coalition

1. Abortion.
2. SOGI
for starters

The basis for the mindset comes out of religiosity. To have the belief that a dog (surely you can figure that out) will take care of it all and not harm its followers is what leads to all the anti-everything stances of the people that hold religious beliefs.

Abortion?? What? How stupid do you have to be to think that anyone can mess with abortion in Canada. Wow is the NDP desperate to push their fearmongering agenda of dumbness.

1. Abortion.

The fear a BC Conservative government would bar access to abortion is clearly rooted in ignorance - and it is never in our best interests to vote against our own best interest out of fear and ignorance.

2. SOGI

"SOGI" isn't a civil or a human right. Many of people who disagree with the current SOGI in our schools and DEI in our workplaces are not in the least religious.

If that's what we're expected to fear from the BC Conservatives - fear enough to allow the BC NDP to continue dictating policies that override our social contracts with our municipally elected officials! - it's quite clear the mindset of antipathy to the BC Conservatives is ideologically based and reliant on fearful ignorance.

One would hope so!

Like the NDP, who hate Jews, as an example.

For as long as social conservative christian nationalist evangelicals have a home somewhere, they will not get my vote. It's what they do. The party they adhere to may very well not proceed with their input but it's always there. Therefor that party will not get my vote.
Barring access has been lost to them yes but they sure would like to make it harder or put on restrictions and limitations. Some provinces have made it difficult. Not illegal, just difficult. One has to go out of province to get service.

I would pretty much bet those are social conservative prudes which are almost always of a religious bent with their heads in the sand and wanting to keep their childrens heads in the same sand passing on their ignorance. It's what they do.

This shows us how easily fear and ignorance about what a few members of a group think and what they might do - stereotyping - can overcome good sense. How easily fear, ignorance and stereotyping can be used to convince voters to vote against their own best interests.

Just like how as long as antisemites have a home with the NDP, they will get your vote. And that's really sad.

You keep repeating the own best interests mantra. That's your opinion on what you think a government should do for the citizens' own best interests.
It's not fear. It's happening. Has been happening when they can get away with it.
I have a tremendous fear on what religious groups would like to do if they held sway in power. Have you read the xtian book? Good grief, so much evil.

I have a tremendous fear too that the NDP's current mass antisemitism is only going to continue to grow, and that they will really start to move to remove rights and freedoms of Jewish people in BC. So much evil in the NDP, and it just keeps growing.

It doesn't make any sense to me to be more afraid of what the Christians in the BC Conservative Party might be able to do if they form government than we are of allowing the socialists in the BC NDP to continue expanding their increasingly dictatorial powers over municipal bodies we elect to manage local affairs, and over our individual rights.
