Another extremist BC Conservative candidate.
David Williams shared a map of Western Canada as “a protectorate of the United States.” Lorne Doerkson kept him on the ballot.
He’s not the only one. Throughout this campaign, Lorne Doerkson has let candidates with extreme, hateful and harmful views stay on the ballot. That includes his campaign director, who posted “F*** Islam.” More than 30 Muslim organizations have called on Doerkson to remove her. He hasn’t.

Election Day is tomorrow, Saturday, Oct 24. Use your vote to say NO to extremism, hate and chaos. Vote BC NDP.
At least, in part, a desire to punish Eby for his stupidity in calling this election without any real plan or purpose.
I think the human desire to punish others is a wierd emotion that we are not taught how to properly handle and that allows stupidity to be rewarded with even greater stupidity.
A Conservative win fucks me over pretty badly… that said, Eby doesn’t deserve to be Premier any more, either.
I hate how stupid it is that we did that. Sure it’s a stupid decision. But is it worth suffering for 4 fucking years to “punish” Eby? Fuck no. It’s stupid.
Yeah. I agree.
Cut off your nose to spite your face is not the way to operate, but unfortunately people are not very well skilled in not letting their emotions affect their judgement… and that’s a problem that is worsening under the influence of info-narcotic technologies because it makes us more easily controllable.
Oh, sorry… that last thought is for the group that meets in in that old abandoned train station building near the bridge downtown.
That is literally the Canadian way we never vote in a party wer vote out the current party. Has been that way for decades.
