Who are the BC Conservatives and how did they go from nobodies to possibly winning this election? Would it surprise you to learn that the answer involves shadowy right-wing orgs and the oil industry? Of course it wouldn't.

Buckle up. 🧵 This all starts in 2018 with the removal of a statue of John A MacDonald from the steps of Victoria city hall. Here "BC Proud spokesperson" Aaron Gunn marches alongside the Soldiers of Odin to protest its removal.

It feels a little insane, but every time I look at a right-wing movement, there is some connection to the International Democracy Union (IDU). Scandals, the convoy, the overthrow of the US government, even...

... ABC Vancouver.

Buckle up folks.

Image For those who don't know the IDU, it was founded in 1983 by the likes of Maragret Thatcher, Helmut Kohl, and Jacques Chirac, among others. In 2018 Stephen Harper became its chairman.

Has anyone looked at this account that @angelahaer retweeted at 5pm last night?

Their first post was at 4pm yesterday. Haer picked it up at 5 and until recently WAS ITS ONLY FOLLOWER. Gee, I wonder who could be behind it? Image It's since removed them, but it also originally followed quite a host of characters. Also on the list: Mayors Office's Trevor Ford. Image

*Sigh* I just looked over @TranBC's plan for Hwy1, and I am once again disappointed. First, lets mention the core issues that this plan brings up, but then does nothing to resolve. This is the central problem. We have increasing motor vehicle use, despite being in the middle of a climate crisis. This is what must be resolved before we can reduce congestion on this route. Simply put: you can't build enough capacity to make up for increasing traffic. Image

I re-read this today. Has anyone else noticed who the people in the quotes at the bottom are? Yes, it's all those people who I talked about in my last thread!

Buckle up.

Years ago, I warned that the homeless were the next target of the Canadian far-right. In this thread I am going to show the host of people and organizations that are part of this movement against the impoverished and addicted.

Warning: this will be long. The first organization to know about is BC Proud. They're an offshoot of the same Canada Proud, founded by former Conservative Party staffer Jeff Ballingall.

I hate the discourse around housing in this city. There's so much conspiracy and racism and it's just sickening. So to handle that, we gathered the numbers on this stuff. We know the rates. So why can't we have a rational conversation about it?

Warning, stats. In the 2010s there was a push to get BC Hydro to look at power usage rates, under the belief that this would prove the foreign-owned-vacant-houses theory right. Eventually, the province responded and BC Hydro along with Ecotagious did.
