I voted for what you might call the "anti-establishment" voice for president. He wore a kaffiyeh and talked of environment and how the BCNDP could meet this incredibly challenging moment.
Glad I was able to support him. he came second by a large margin but I am grateful that support is there.

one of the coolest things about the #bcndp convention has been the use if this little ballot book for voting for elected positions within the party.
They announce the number and colour of the page, you rip out the paper and use it to make your selection.
Then the committee folks go around with ballot boxes like offerings at church 😆
Democracy is cool wherever it happens and in all its iterations.

fyi: 82% of the #bcndp delegates (740 valid votes cast)
voted against having a leadership convention!
iow: Premier Eby's leadership is solid and safe.
#bcpoli

first ballot vote! (required at all non leadership conventions)
"should a leadership election be called"
I sense a positively negative response ;)

this resolution might be of interest to the tech crowd. "AI Guardrails"
We will see if the NDP Government takes the issue up in the coming legislative sessions. (there is not always a one-to-one relationship!)

Hearing from NDP leaders in Ontario and Manitoba.
Premier Kinew says the way to respond to Trump’s America First agenda isn’t Canada First, it’s Humanity First. Drawing big applause.
I honestly forgot that the NDP was actually the official opposition in Ontario!

"you just never know when an election might happen"
oh boy!

I've always been pretty non partisan... or at least on the fence between orange and green.
Attending the #bcndp convention as a delegate is definitely a big step for me. It's going to be a seriously interesting weekend!!

Oh look, the #BCNDP Government finally noticed the Post-Secondary system is collapsing. *slowclap*
Can hardly wait for that report next spring... maybe I will still have a job by then...
PS: I have a crazy idea: perhaps post-secondary should be majority-funded by government, not by exploitative international tuitions that can just *disappear*)
PPS: Domestic enrolment is not declining in any significant kind of way in the sector. From the “State of Post Secondary Education in Canada 2025” by Alex Usher:
"This decline in per-student funding is therefore not primarily a result of a significant decline in total funding; rather, it is a result of expenditures remaining more or less
constant while enrollments increased.”
WHICH IS WHAT EDUCATORS HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR DECADES

Today former Conservative BC MLA Dallas Brodie introduced a bill to ban territorial acknowledgments from public events and places including schools and the legislature itself.
You can find her proudly posting about it on X (at Dallas_Brodie) I won't link it.
It's as bad as you think it would be.
It's not a bad thing to acknowledge and respect the fact that people lived in BC/Canada for millenia before European's got here.
It's not a bad thing to acknowledge and try to repair the deliberate harm that was done in that process.
(the bill was voted down at first reading by a voice-vote)
