KPU Journalism grad. Politics nerd. Afraid of moths.
Joined September 2021
Folks are very mad at me for saying that John Rustad “pandered to conspiracy theorists”… …when he talked about kids being forced to eat bugs; attributed climate action to the “fact” of a de-population agenda; and supported (but backtracked on) the idea of “Nuremberg 2.0”. 🧵

Remember when @mikefarnworthbc gave Surrey a deadline to accept BC's $250m "final offer" on policing and was surprised Mayor Brenda Locke rejected it April 9? Turns out, she HAD accepted the deal initially, then changed her mind. Here's the letter (had to file $10 FOI to get it)

Everyone has a right to freedom of speech but scaring or intimidating kids while they’re learning at schools should be, and soon will be, illegal. (1/4)

Oh yikes
No deal. Public safety Minister Mike Farnworth's office put out a statement saying "Mayor Brenda Locke and Surrey city council have failed to act in the best interest of the people of Surrey. Once again, they have demonstrated they want to continue this conflict..."

NEW - Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth says there’s a deadline at 4pm for the City of Surrey to finalize agreement for policing money. Surrey started negotiating with the province in January. This includes additional financial support for Surrey for the budget. #bcpoli

Alex Jones is a despicable human being who will say anything, do anything to stir dissent and hatred. But he does have a good eye for those of like mind. Is Poilievre going to disavow this hate monger? This is the face of Canada's Conservative party in 2024.
Huge congrats to Pierre Poilievre for securing the coveted Alex Jones endorsement!!!! It can’t have been easy to dogwhistle conspiracy theories often enough to clinch the support of a Sandy Hook shooting denier, but my god, Poilievre did it.
