beige.party is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

Achievement unlocked! Emailed the offices of the #BCNDP #BCCP #BCGreens and every elected MLA. A similar message as last week's to Municipal leaders/staff.

Tweaked the message to emphasize the "BC Made" element in this time of a trade war with the USA.

Bluesky isn't it.

It's a time when people are going to look for locally grown solutions. That includes Social Media!

#Mastodon and the #Fediverse are the *only* places with Canadian options!

As long as headlines like this continue to permeate the news cycle over the next 4 days, I feel like the #BCNDP have a good chance of keeping their majority and stopping the onslaught of the regressive, backward, anti-social, nutbar, #BCCP party. The NDP has run a pretty clean campaign to this point.

Overall I would say Rustad was on the defensive the most by far but got some of his main points out. Eby attacked the most, sometimes agreeing with Green leader Furstenau. Furstenau avoided attacking the others most of the time but got some digs in. She had the most effective delivery on policy.
Thanks for following this impromptu live tooting!

Continued thread

We are now into the economy
Rustad: Get rid of regulations
Eby: Grow grow grow wages jobs etc
Furstenau: Support people

Also, Eby moves alot on his feet, camera moves around.

Eby: "What are you gonna cut? No plan"

Furstenau: brings up transit.

Eby: "how can we debate when you [BCCP] won't say your plan"
