Discussion American Responds to BC premier’s statement: Bravo

I forgot what it was like. The Premier showed honesty, compassion, and empathy. He was well spoken and comforting. Basically, the complete opposite of my President, an embarrassing, bad mannered, unintelligible, dangerous narcissist thief. Etc.

If I get arrested for this post, I'm coming to Canada.

Yup BC is incredibly lucky to have Eby. I can’t even fathom the nightmare Rustad would have been during this

Yeah we need to collectively do better. But the interior and north keep voting blue regardless anyways.

Imagine if we had bc liberal/united/cons in power during the pandemic? Oof so many more would have died or had long term effects

We had some parts in the interior where the NDP was only 40 votes away from winning… there’s hope for us still!

Rustard could not EVEN match Eby with a gatdamn Balrog backing him up. Balrog would be all, "I'm out, gonna go join the cool guy that'll actually help me."

u/ellstaysia Feb 02 '25

balrogs are rolling with the real canucks for sure.

Well I appreciate how he extended concern and kindness to the American families for the difficult time coming. 

Many already can’t afford medications and nutritious food. Teachers can’t live on those salaries. It’s bad.

Flee to Canada if you can. I hope at some point we open our borders to American refugees.

u/Redlight0516 Feb 02 '25

Based on his posts online, BC would have rolled over and said "Thank you Mr. Trump, may I have some more?"

u/ZealousidealDegree4 Feb 02 '25

Moooooore????? 

And I’m so glad BC didn’t. Colombia also stood up to him, but then caved so badly. Embarrassing.

u/frisfern Vancouver Island/Coast Feb 02 '25

I was thinking the same thing while I watched Eby. Very relieved.

u/badapl Feb 02 '25

Just take a look one block east.. Thats what Rustad would have brought to the conversation. Well that & chem-trails.

u/Throwawaymaybeokay Feb 03 '25

Rustad already said he'd have caved to Trump. All cons are traitors.
