Sunday Funday: BC Gloom, US Election Funnies, Interesting Posts, Funny Posts, Getting Old(er), Trumpwatch, and Animal Crackers



BC Doom and Gloom
I guess BC premier David Eby got his wish for a majority government.
Unfortunately, its Conservative.
Basically, I think Eby took his voters for granted, and they punished that disrespect. 
What will happen now? Lots of performative bullshit, I expect, along with some poor economic and social policies, and some cruel and unnecessary conflicts with First Nations.

Dear BC Voters… I know you were angry at the NDP, but voting for the Shoot-BC-in-the-Foot Party is as unforgivably stupid as @davidebybc.bsky.social calling the election in the first place. Enjoy your reduced services, higher instance, and racist, Trump-friendly government, you brainless assholes.

Wow, what a map. I took this screenshot at about 11 pm BC time.
 

And with 91% of the vote now in

Some are expecting disaster:

BC Conservatives stumble into the election amid leadership turmoil, alleged financing violations, a $122,043 job-for-seat offer, surveillance of critics, Hitler apologia, residential school denialism and reported Alberta separatist links. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Here's another view, I can only hope this proves to be correct:

Lorne Doerkson , the British Columbia Premier-Designate, seems like a helluva nice guy. His acceptance speech was all about governing. Not one word of complaint about Ottawa. We know just from that he ain’t Albertan. Our thoughts in this article.

Either way, I think Doerkson will have one hell of a time dealing with some of the nutcases he is stuck with in that Conservative caucus.

US election funnies

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! laughs It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

An amazing post showing how the path across the Great Lakes for these huge vessels is treacherous, lengthy and difficult.

I should of known that Webster would help us out! [Yes, seeing someone use "of" when they should use  "have" is one of my pet peeves...]

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Move over SK, AB and ON. BC is going back to 'BCE'.

It's going to be a shitshow isn't it

Goddamn it, Eby. You had one job and all you had to do was just keep doing it. Now you have no job. Can't even blame the Greens--they got more votes than usual, which is your own fault, but it would have taken like zero votes for the Greens before you could have scraped up a tie.

Northern PoV said...

Compared to the 2024 election:

Greens got additional 20k votes.
CONs got the same result 900k votes.
NDP dropped 250K (950k to 700K)

It sure wasn't vote splittin'
