Anyone from BC with context on why the cons have caught up with the BC NDP?
It’s fucking bizarre… but you need to remember that the interior is conservative as fuck and BC basically has Canada’s bible belt.
BC United (the current opposition!) basically collapsed and stopped running. This means that there won’t be vote splitting between them and the BC Conservatives.
Most of the media are owned by alt-right fascists. This might have a lot to do with it.
NB as well. October 21st: https://www.electionsnb.ca/content/enb/en.html.html
Please show up and vote Higgs the fuck out. We deserve better than a transphobic asshole who wants to sell our healthcare to the highest bidder.
And please remember that in any Canadian election, you can register on the day at the booth if you have to. It takes five minutes as long as you bring a couple of pieces of ID (the list of what counts as acceptable ID is unbelievably long; I guarantee you’ll be OK. You can even just get someone else to vouch for you are).
Don’t get caught up in the horror stories from the US. Voting in Canada is incredibly fast and easy, even if you’re not registered. You’ll almost always be in and out in less than 20 minutes. Polls open early and stay open late, there are early voting days ahead of the actual election, and on election day your work are required to give you time off to vote if you need it. Know your rights and have your vote counted.
