    In 1970 I was one of the three recorded cases of scurvy in Canada. I was young poor and very often hungry. The doctor I finally saw was incredulous. I was the first case of scurvy he had ever seen. He gave me a prescription and told me to go buy some oranges. I told him I had no money for either so he bought me the prescription and the oranges out of his own pocket. I have been forever thankful.

    There are currently 6 replies to this that I cannot see. I assume that this means I have blocked the right people or more likely the alt-right people.

    He gives off creepy old guy flat earther vibes. Also he would not have to apologize for horrible statements if he never made them in the first place.

    I would vote for pretty much anyone other than rustad. What BC does not need is a climate change denier, an anti-vaxxer and a person against women's rights to control their own bodies.. ABR anybody but rustad....

    It is working well in Luxembourg where all public transit is free to the user. The cure for traffic problems is cheap available mass transit. It is the only cure. Building more highways only increases traffic.

    When I look at rustad I see a climate change denier, an anti-vaxxer, a private health care advocate, a person who would love to enact trump's project 2025 in BC and possibly even a flat earther. This guy would drag us back to the 1800s if he could. He seems like the sort of person who would not only be against women having control of their own bodies but would be unwilling to allow women to vote.

    If you want trump policies in BC this simpleton is your guy. He very much seems anti-vax, climate change denial, and possibly even flat earther. You know he will be for private health care, against abortion, pro private religious schools and pro trickle down economics..

    The one and only cure for traffic is mass transit. If ford is talking about anything else it is because his rich friends can make money from it. Tell him to get rich friends who build busses and trains... #dugfordisaclown

    Since I have never even once in my very long life been offered the opportunity to vote for the greater good I tend to vote for the lesser evil that stands a chance of being elected in my riding. It has thus far never been the green party. They have come in dead last in every riding I have lived in thus far. If they do become the least evil with a chance at a win they will probably get my vote. Until that point my vote is too important to just squander.

    There is no right and left in BC we have the NDP at the center position and everyone else well to the right of that. The BC conservatives (far right) are still denying climate change and their leader would literally bring project 2025 bullshit if he gets the chance. If you want the rich to get richer and the rest of us to have less and you are against women having a say over their own bodies then the BC conservatives are made to order for you. Also they want to privatize health care.

    Should anyone be allowed to run for Prime Minister of Canada if they do not have a security clearance??? I say no as it is impossible for them to even discuss many important things and they do not know the facts. #Canada #cpc #SquintyMcProudBoy

    Stuff like this and the "base" he has created give off pretty harsh trump vibes. Here is a link confirming for those wanting one. Sorry I did not include it originally. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.712106

    So is he refusing to get a security clearance, or is he incapable of obtaining one? If the latter he should be disqualified from running for office.

    Why does the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada refuse to get a security clearance to see classified documents. He is the first to scream about being left out, but this is entirely up to him. I suspect there is something that would prevent him from getting a security clearance and he does not want us to know. Or perhaps he is under the control of a foreign power..... #Canada #SquintyMcProudBoy

    If donnie trump, lauren boebert, marjorie taylor greene, matt gaetz, ron desantis and greg abbott were in Canada they would be running for the CPC. The people in Canada actually running for the CPC are exactly like this.

    I think we should set up abortion clinics at every Canada/Us border crossing. This could be a real money maker.

    In Britain after WWII there was a severe housing shortage and the solution they came up with was "row houses" basically large apartment blocks. The genius part of this was along with this you also got an allotment. A small parcel of land where you could garden and enjoy the outdoors.
