A nice birthday present to wake up to
pretty much the ideal electoral result in my eyes.

Half the polls in, wayyyyy bigger lead.
The governing party's cop fascist candidates are losing baddddddly.

This might be why there's all this voter suppression. Ken Sim is fucked, if this pattern continues!

Ok #Vancouver, here's an easy one, voter suppression for 2026:
"Oh no, my subjects, lines were so long and we need to protect the overworked staff. In the past, if you were IN the lineup at 8pm, you can vote. Now...(Insert pinky into corner of mouth)...at 8pm if you haven't voted, you can't. Meow."
18 months. Get rid of your fascists. Or get out of the way, for someone whom will.

Ok #Vancouver, this is the dress rehearsal for the fall 2026 election fiasco when this horrible mayor & council will do way more voter suppression and not just on election day.
Today they say it was the staff decision to reduce staffing so much despite a huge increase in advance turnout. Bullshit.
This guy is a liar. You can't trust this guy. Good thing you have 18 months to get a momentum going to eradicate that entire party.

This is textbook voter suppression, from a mayor and council who are spawns of Margaret Thatcher and Karl Rove, based on their horrible conduct for 2.5 years.
Hmm, do I want to get into an argument on Bluesky about why the city of #Vancouver gutting their #byelection staff and polling stations smells like voter suppression? I probably don't.
If you make it harder to vote, where people have to wait 1-2 hours in line, gig workers and those working multiple jobs are less likely to have the time to vote. So, the people who would most benefit from a local government focused on social supports can't easily vote for those supports.
Maybe it's a screwup by the government outside of any political leanings, but the purpose of a system is what it does.
OMG insane lineup at Hillcrest for #Vancouver byelection voting. They say an hour.

@LoranJohn @theteapixie
I signed up to vote by mail in this election
But was late so had to basically go pick up my mail-ballot and hand it back to them. So an extra-complicated early voting situation
But I didn’t have/get to wait in line with all the people hopefully wanting to vote Mayor Bitcoin’s party down a notch

Yeah, they limit advance-voting, and polling places
It’s as if they don’t really want a democratic election or something 
When your opponent works really hard to make it so you can’t vote it probably means it’s important that we should
Hey #citycouncilofvancouver, never reading the room? Or are you scared?
We are in a lineup that looks to be hourS long.
Everyone I’ve talked to is mad at the Mayor (guy linked to Chip Wison, also linked to Cons)
So happy to see people inspired to participate.
It's #MatchDay

Vancouver needs to win today to retain their top of the western conference spot.
A twofer! A springtail (probably a juvenile Ptenothrix), riding on the back of a weevil (Sthereus horridus). I often find springtails riding other animals.

Don Davies for Vancouver KingswayDon Davies for Vancouver KingswayWelcome to our Campaign Website!
Vancouver Kingsway is a shining example of the best that Canada can be: a vibrant community of people from all corners of the world living, working and thriving together. Our diversity, creativity and harmony are truly our strength.
It is an honour to represent our interests in Parliament.
Ready to shout into the void about #cdnpoli in #Vancouver, but if VoteWell is going to try to throw our star NDP MPs under the bus, it must be said: You don't vote for the leader, you vote for your MP. Look at who they are.
388canada has this projection for #vancouver-kingsway, a riding that well remembers the David Emerson LPC to CPC defection. Would we really give up on the hardest working MP in Ottawa to vote on the LPC brand? I hope not, and I think these kinds of projections are bullshit.
