saw this on facebook, some of these candidates my gawd.
Quote:
So, before the Cons and “Liberals” linked arms in an attempt to turn our province into a haven for the wealthy, of BC, this is what the BC United Party had as opposition research on some of the candidates in the BC Con party. Remember, despite the looney-toons beliefs of these mental midgets, the BCUP is perfectly happy to accept these beliefs in their new coalition of the right.
Please vote formNDP or Green and keep these dangerously ill-informed people out of government.
So, if you’re curious about a few of the BC Conservatives running for election in BC, read on…
Mike Harris, the BC Conservative candidate for Langford, claims it is possible to “kill” COVID-19 simply by “blowing a hair dryer up one’s nose.”
Sheldon Clare, the BC Conservative candidate for Prince George–North Cariboo, says Canada is like 1933 Germany and that he is “willing to commit insurrection.”
Jordan Kealy, the BC Conservative candidate in Peace River North, claims there is a “government plan to eat bugs” and “control the weather.”
Bryan Tepper, the BC Conservative Surrey-Panorama candidate, has promoted the idea that the storming of the Capitol building in the US didn’t happen.
John Koury, the BC Conservative candidate for the Cowichan Valley, claims that Donald Trump actually won the last US election.
Harman Bhangu, the BC Conservative for Langley-Abbotsford, argues that the storming of the Capitol was done by “Antifa” dressed up as Trump supporters. He criticized the
Vancouver Canucks who wore pride-themed practice jerseys saying “There is nothing to be proud of.”
Kristina Loewen, the BC Conservative for Kelowna Centre, promotes far right conspiracy theories against a “UN world order.”
Chris Sankey, the BC Conservative candidate for North Coast–Haida Gwaii, claims that efforts to combat climate change are a “depopulation conspiracy.”
Paul Ratchford, the BC Conservative candidate for Vancouver-Point Grey, supports calls for the arrest of Bonnie Henry. He says “Violent anti-social trans extremists increasingly define the [Pride] movement.” He has called for defunding the CBC. He has called for defunding the University of BC because it hired a professor specializing in race and ethics.
Bryan Breguet, the BC Conservative candidate in Vancouver–Langara, attacks mothers who do not breastfeed by saying “You f–king decided to have a baby! Act as a f–king mother! Jesus Chris, get your priorities right.”
Rosalyn Bird, the BC Conservative candidate in Prince George-Valemount, promotes the idea that Pride supporters as “groomers” and that the government wants to “castrate kids.”
Tim Thielmann, BC Conservative candidate in Victoria–Beacon Hill, said it was “Gross” that people objected to a white supremacist daycare that advertised itself as a “whites-only” space for “proud parents of European children” looking to “escape forced diversity.”
The common thread that appears in most of the Conservative rhetoric, both federally and provincially is an impatience with empathy. Most of the anecdotes and messaging seems to be a short tempered response to so-called “wokeness”.
It’s abundantly clear to me that BC Conservatives, if elected, will move the dial back on initiatives that are empathetic to the plight of the marginalized in British Columbia. Green initiatives, SOGI, initiatives to reduce poverty and homelessness, initiatives to bring equality and fairness to marginalized people will all be up for repeal or outright
abolishment by the BC Conservatives.
Now that I’m officially a senior citizen, I’m in the demographic that might typically be welcoming the old fashioned conservative value set. But, allow me to assure you that I am embarrassed and deeply disappointed by the hateful diatribe from the right wing. It is narrow minded, xenophobic, intolerant, mean spirited and Uncanadian.
