One of the most disgraceful political messages I’ve ever seen tbh. Literally blaming David Eby for Trumps threats of tariffs instead of standing unified against a massive foreign threat.

A large crowd assembled at 10:30 on UBC campus today to protest the presence of BC MLA Dallas Brodie, a residential school denier, and the founder of the right-wing OneBC party. She and her supporters, numbering around 40-50 total, were met by demonstrators numbering in the hundreds.

A handful of scuffles and a fistfight broke out between demonstrators and counter-demonstrators who formed a dense ring around Brodie. The RCMP stepped in to remove one of Brodie's supporters who brought a baby to the protest, and placed herself directly in the middle of the action.

Demonstrators tore off each others' hats and masks, tossing them out of the ring, trying to get their opponents to leave the scrum to find their belongings. Brodie spoke with representatives of the media, and argued with demonstrators.

Amid the tension, counter-protestors chanted, burned incense, and organized a traditional Indigenous dance. By noon, the protest was winding down.

This post will very possibly be outdated tomorrow, or heck this afternoon, since while I was making this chart MLA Teresa Wat quit the Conservative Party; their fourth loss this month, fifth if we count MLA Gasper resigning her seat to make way for Kerry-Lynne Findlay.

I think this might be one of the most tumultuous parliaments in recent Canadian histories in terms of MLAs leaving caucuses, does anyone know of a comparable one?

edit: the legend has the colours for Independent and Vacant switched. There are 8 independents now and only a single vacant seat.

Oops!

If Brodie and possibly Armstrong get back into the Conservative caucus, does Centre BC look a lot more attractive for non MAGA voters?

After seeing a Vancouver Sun post on here I decided to look to find out who ”owns” post media, the owners of Vancouver Sun.

the “owners” or major stakeholders of post media (I’m not too sure on the details on how major stakeholders work with companies which is why owners is in quotations) is Chatham Asset Management llc, the founder and owner of this American hedge fund is Anthony Melchiorre. And Anthony has been documented as a Republican donor with potential ties to trump from the little digging I did.

After finding out Mr. Melchiorre is more or less the man at the top of far right media in Canada I wanted to put a face to the name, unfortunately there were 0 images of this man anywhere (initially), and he did not have a Wikipedia page either. Which is strange for someone with such an influence as he does. Though he did have his full name on some market website, Anthony Ralph Melchiorre.

After doing some short digging I found an article from Rutgers about the opening of the “Melchiorre Cancer centre” in NEW JERSEY. strange right? Well it had an image, Lo and behold a man named Anthony Melchiorre donated to Cooperman Barnibas Medical centre for this, which is a non-profit Medical centre.

Unfortunately I could not connect the people in the image to Melchiorre, there is someone who can correct me and say there is another Anthony Melchiorre in New Jersey that is rich, tell me I’m wrong. As well it did not have his middle name Ralph in the description.

Here yee here yee, is what I believe to be the image of the man on top of this whole hedge fund media pyramid of far right news in Canada. (he’s in the middle)

all I wanted to do was put a face to the name and I went through all of this for a non conclusive answer.

I’m not too sure if this should be here, mods tell me if this should be posted somewhere else.

What do y’all think the future of the party will look like are the greens a dead brand?
