BC Conservatives are talking about "centre-right" voters. I will note there is nothing centrist about a party that says 5G spreads COVID, vaccines make you magnetic and spread disease, we ought to ban books, and that LGBTQ folks are "degenerates" and "groomers."

John Rustad says we can't be harmed by carbon pollution because we're carbon-based. This is the same logic as saying a brick to the head won’t hurt you because we're both made of atoms. Utterly moronic conspiracy views.

Poor Dimitri. He undermines his own message when he forgets unvaccinated health workers were kept away from sick seniors and the immuno-compromised to preserve patients’ freedom to stay alive. At the urging of top health experts. During a pandemic. Oh well. Short memories.
