I emailed the #NewWest Progressive elector group and its elected officials to question their decision to block criticism on Facebook. 4 days later, not a peep in response. Hopefully we'll learn that it's a mistake and not an intentional tactic—for the latter would be deeply concerning. #NWP
Here's how I put it to their face with a little more space to be clear
This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history
When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines
Just as a reminder to #newwest NWP says support farmers markets, but their leader says we shouldn't support the users of said market

Peak #NWP shitposting. Their leader says he wants the election to be respectful, but his party runs a vibe campaign that strives to foment contempt. This video is a Rorschach for contempt but also a piece of targeted harassment. Shame on the perpetrators. #NewWest is better than this. #BCPoli
Timely essay by #Victoria Councillor @davethompsonvic.bsky.social – wise words of caution for #NewWest & other municipal voters re mis/disinformation as municipal elections approach. #BCpoli
Wow: by the time my comment ratioed their post ~3:1, #NWP blocked me on Facebook. Just 3 months ago, #DanielFontaine told me, at #NewWest Council: "I know you'll be out in the community making sure that we're held accountable". My critiques have been solid—but never disrespectful. Such #Hypocrisy.
Lest he win an ignominious race to the bottom, @davidebybc.bsky.social might consider moving leftward - centrist pandering to conservative nonsense leads his government, and our province, precisely nowhere. #BCpoli #BCNDP
Misleading clickbait from #NewWest Progressives. Why? Because the petting zoo can't be reopened without being rebuilt, and building a humane petting zoo would require a costly expansion of the former zoo's footprint. Those seem like important details to omit #JustForClicks. #NWP
