Took us 2 hours to vote.

Respectful line of neighbours.

People are voting against Sim and his inner council.

I hope we can keep this interest up for the next election.

The advanced voting was a sign and the city didn’t want to read it. Never have I experienced this kind of wait.

There should be MORE voting stations.

I found this #BC Supreme Court ruling on #ClearviewAI absolutely delicious, especially the findings that the #PIPA Personal Information Protection Act applies to out-of-province companies with a “real and substantial” connection to BC and that the act of processing personal information from people in BC from the internet is sufficient to form that connection #ai #privacy blg.com/en/insights/2025/03/co

@chris

It seems likely he will be removed if this election plays out as the current conservative pollsters are pushing: they are clearly pushing the narrative of "if not #CPC, then #LPC at any cost!"

Which I find extremely telling. Do we really want to elect Angus Reid's second choice after #PP?

Reality is: most #BC and #AB ridings are more likely to elect #NDP or CPC than LPC. This may be true in #SK & #MB, and elsewhere. We need clean data from the sources, not Fournier's weighted model.
