The BC Conservative party’s official “climate policy” explicitly rejects the idea that climate change is a “crisis.”

In August 2022, Rustad retweeted a tweet from prominent climate science denier Patrick Moore casting doubt on climate science.: “The case for CO2 being the control knob of global temperature gets weaker every day,” said the tweet amplified by Rustad, adding that people should “celebrate C02.”

Conservatives. Wrong on everything since 1824.

I reckon he’s in line to be the next premier?

It will be very close. Depends on what the ex BC-United voters will do now.

I don’t understand how people in BC can be looking at our neighbouring province and thinking “yeah that is what we want”.

So many stupid hillbilies. Demographics show it’s all the mountain people, hiding in their hills and hating healthcare.

I understand this is a federal poll, but I think we’re all intelligent enough here to extrapolate Conservative voting federally with provincially.

It’s not ‘hillbillies’ hurtling the Cons into power–there aren’t enough of them to make numbers like these.

It’s men.

Across all age groups, horrifically moreso the younger they get, men are voting Conservative in Canada. 56% of men under 35 want either the CPC or PPC in power.

And to be honest, and yes I’m using it again

In some ways I don’t even blame them. When pretty much every other part of society is telling young men that they aren’t wanted, they are going to turn to whoever is willing to welcome them with open arms. Instead of turning them into allies for those who are disadvantaged they have been told, “No yo go the back of the line.” (sometimes literally, looking at you federal NDP). This results in a large portion of society that is being “radicalized” by the far right because it is the space that welcomes them and makes them feel like part of something, even when it will harm them and our society in the long run.

Of course he won’t. Otherwise all that money spent on buying him would be for nothing.

If you are a person of colour, a woman or anyone who may ever need health care then never vote conservative.
