This is why federal Conservative leader Pierre #Poilievre has been heavily campaigning in British Columbia for the past two years.

@gemelliz It's really the Social Conservative Party of BC - Christian nationalists, COVID conspiracists, former PPC party members, climate denialists, racists, bigots and anti-LGBTQ & anti-abortion activists.
While some ex-Poilievre people worked on Rustad's campaign, I think a bigger organizing influence was the cross AB-BC groups that mirror each other.
Poilievre never publicly endorsed Rustad - he doesn't want that stink on him publicly in eastern Canada. #BCElxn2024

@AlisonCreekside @gemelliz yet federal Conservative candidate for North Island - Powell River, Aaron Gunn, was part of the BC Con leadership team behind this "historic" win. And Poilievre has been here TWICE in the past year for large rallies. Does that tell you something?

Poilievre's federal Conservative candidate Aaron Gunn, and Aaron's pal, BC Con director Angelo Isidorou have been US-style right-wing activists in the group 'BC Proud' an offshoot of Jeff Ballingal's 'Canada Proud'
Jeff Ballingal works for #Poilievre & his "only job is to post cheap attack ads to mislead Canadians to help elect Conservatives" Jeff has also headlined for Harper's #IDU & ran #DougFord's campaigns.

@gemelliz @AlisonCreekside let's not forget "BC Rising" an offshout of "Freedom Rising" which came out of the convoy movement. Vancouver Island convoys were mainly organized out of Campbell River.

@lacouvee - drank the koolaid
@AlisonCreekside Yesterday, Campbell River voted for Con Anna Kindy who reposted messages that "Dr. Bonnie Henry murders babies with a bioweapon" and claimed #BC is enduring "a vax genocide"
The same day #BC wildfires jumped towards Kelowna, #Poilievre was in the very same Campbell River chirping "axe the tax".
The Campbell River #NDP campaign office was closed due to a bomb threat during the campaign.

@gemelliz @lacouvee @AlisonCreekside so incredibly sad.
-
@gemelliz @lacouvee @AlisonCreekside I can't help but wonder how many of these newly minted “representatives” will either self-destruct in a haze of social media fury or come to their senses during their MLA tenure and end up alienating, and being subsequently "punished" by their “base" as "traitors”.

@chris @gemelliz @lacouvee @AlisonCreekside This is what happens when “time for a change” voters haven’t got any viable party to change too. They vote for a party brand that has been overtaken by wing nuts. It is a big reason why I believe federally the CFP can play a disruptor role.
-
@Globob @chris @gemelliz @AlisonCreekside ok - first I am hearing of a CFP party.
-
@lacouvee @chris @gemelliz @AlisonCreekside The are new. They are going to be holding their first convention in a couple of weeks.

@Globob @lacouvee @chris @gemelliz @AlisonCreekside
Oh ya that group. Pretty far to the right it seems to me. No environmental policy. Thats a deal breaker.
Gonna fix everything with Nuclear reactors. -
@sleepy62 @lacouvee @chris @gemelliz @AlisonCreekside Fair enough you don’t like some of CFPs policies. Just curious how you would propose to divert the “time for a change voter” from the CPC.
-
@Globob @sleepy62 @lacouvee @gemelliz @AlisonCreekside I'm not in on the policies. But I am always in on increasing participation. I'm a little surprised there is no call for electoral reform/proportional representation. Without that, it will be near impossible to build up a grassroots effort for a new political party.
