The CBC image kind of says it all... everyone knows the guy in the middle. But what about the others?
@… should not have much trouble making herself more well known as the leader of the Green Party. But the other 3 people? Who are they? What party are they leading? *I* can just barely figure it out. Regular British Columbians are going to be completely befuddled.
This could be an election between the #bcNDP #bcGreens and #bcOtherGuys

absolutely bonkers BC political scenes right now as it is revealed an operative of the BC Conservative leader hired a private investigator behind the back of the rest of the party to dig up dirt on members of their own party, executive, and a political reporter at CHEK (who is notably right-leaning in his reporting no less!)
No wonder the NDP is itching to call a snap election and try to secure a more solid
majority!
It's great to see the rightwing consume themselves (again) but at the same time I am enough of a democrat to believe that all this nonsense and inabillity to have a strong opposition to government is bad on many levels.
just insanity.
I really hope Eby is smart enough to wait and start the provincial campaign the day after the Oct 17 municipal electoons across the province.
Local governments deserve the spotlight and the BC Cons are not going to magically snap into sanity in a month.

The final candidate list for the BC Election is up!
Lots of final additions.
Riding to watch! Peace River North. Kealey left the Conservatives last year and is now running as an independent. No other parties in that riding!
Jordan Kealy Independent
Curtis Whitford Conservative Party
This is the only riding the BCNDP does not have a candidate in. Looks to be a strategic move to give Kealy a better chance.
To update my list from before of the 93 ridings.
CentreBC: 34
BCCP: 93
Greens: 73
BCNDP: 92
OneBC: 33
Good to see the Greens running nearly a full slate. Very interesting to see CentreBC and OneBC with nearly the same number but not always in the same ridings. Will be interesting to see how many of the candidates in those parties actually pull significant votes! There are going to be some very interesting races!
(There are also a handful of communist, Christian heritage, and other parties and unaffiliated or independent candidates. Go Democracy!!)

Addendum: Just noticed that both BC Conservative candidates are sharing the same Financial Agent. In fact, upon closer inspection, Albert Chen is Financial agent for 7 ridings on Vancouver Island!
Very very interesting. This could be an indication that the BCCP are having trouble finding volunteers and their basic riding associations are not well populated.
I wonder how fragile the party actually is…?

Just went and took a peek at the current provincial candidate list at Elections BC. The deadline for candidates to have their papers in is today at 1PM. (#BCCP. He is a decent person in a terrible party.
I see a lot of 2 person ridings in this list. Looks like the Greens have not been able to get a full slate, and there is only a handful of CentreBC and OneBC candidates. We will see if that changes significantly when the final list is published.
This solidifies my thought that this is going to be a really tough 2-way race with the other parties only competitive in a handful of other ridings, but that is still really important because if the two main parties stay neck and neck, then the handful of 3 or more party race could decide the balance of power in a minority government.
I am surprised to see one of the ridings next-door to mine, Nanaimo-Gabriola Island, has just two candidates as well. It is an important and active riding.
Sheila Malcolmsen (former Min) vs. Conservative Mark McDonald who is a notorious former newspaper editor made nationally famous for publishing two vile anti-First Nations racist letters in a matter of months. The newspaper closed soon after. (#bcpoli #canpoli #bcndp #bcgreens #bcelection2026

Counting the number of candidates currently listed for #centreBC, #OneBC and the BC Greens. BC has 93 ridings.
CentreBC: 19
Greens: 38
OneBC: 12
We’ll see how many sign up at the last minute.

Two new polls out over the past couple days. Since one of them is Léger, I’ve enlarged the screenshot to be able to see the last Léger poll, which was way back at the start of June.
I’m not sure any kind of trend can really be taken from these. Both the #BCNDP and the #CPBC have weaker numbers than their highs in the summer. The CPBC might have a slight lead overall, but it seems to also be within the margin of error of 2 of the 3 post-snap-election-call polls.
I would really like to see a Mainstreet poll, as they had OneBC at a huge 11% in the spring. The other parties taking random seats here and there are a real wildcard in this election As is the Greens picking up 1 or 2 more seats (I cannot see them losing their existing 2 seats).
Any scenario were the Greens and small rightwing parties get a handful of seats makes a minority government nearly inescapable.
I don’t think anyone can realistically predict anything from these polls, but at the same time, as the caller of the election, the NDP should be having a big think right about now.

It is sad that none of the parties in BC or Canada have said anything about digital sovereignty or even just using Canadian social media channels at all.
It’s all Twitter, Facebook and Bluesky. 🇺🇸
I guess “choose Canada” doesn’t apply to online. 😢 👎

Since we’re in a provincial election in BC, I guess we have to look to the polls. The campaign is so short… final voting day is less than a month away, and advance voting starts in just 18 days!
The Angus Reid poll that came out last week — which surveyed people just before and after the snap call — made big waves showing the #CPBC Conservatives ahead.
But it’s worth noting that Angus Reid is often the first to show a Conservative advantage when others show the opposite.

And they are STILL doing this shit with the blessing of governments. Including the B.C. and Canadian governments with Kitimat’s LNG Canada plant admitting to releasing 141 cubic metres of gas PER MINUTE, compared to their permitted 7.4 cubic metres per minute.
Tell me I’m wrong: the oil and gas industry are the worst thing to happen to this planet and humanity, ever.
