Bring back Dallas Brodie! Haha.

I think rustad will challenge this in court. He's a stubborn bugger.

The party leaned on the bylaw that says the leader can only be removed in this manner if they are "incapacitated". I could see him challenging that.

There's nobody who can lead that party. As rustad liked to called it, "one big circus tent" of ex-liberals and MAGAs.

Just bring up a few videos of him speaking at press conferences and it would be pretty easy to argue that.

A pulp mill on Vancouver Island is permanently ending operations, the latest mill to close in the province, affecting around 350 employees.

Domtar says in a statement that continued poor pricing for pulp and lack of access to affordable fibre in British Columbia necessitates the closure of its pulp mill in Crofton.



Domtar says it is exploring “a variety of possibilities” for the future of the site.

B.C. Forests Minister Ravi Parmar calls the closure “gut-wrenching for workers” in a statement and says the forest sector is facing pressures from volatile markets, low pulp prices, shrinking fibre, climate-driven wildfires, conservation measures, and U.S. duties and tariffs.

Meanwhile, the Opposition Conservatives are calling for Parmar to resign, saying in a statement that the closure is a clear sign that B.C.’s coastal forest sector is collapsing.

Last month, West Fraser Timber announced that it would permanently close its lumber mill in 100 Mile House with about 165 jobs by the end of 2025.

Softwood lumber tariffs are killing our forestry sector. It's all because of Cheeto!

From my boilermaker friend who works at a mill:

There are 2 more mills that are at a stalemate with their contract negotiations.

Words on the street is that if the unions try to push through with the new contract those mill will also shutdown immediately in the current economic environment.

It will be a collapse of our forestry if that happens.

Unions. Nice.

[68style]

If only all unions were like the fuckin port authority... the only enterprise on this earth I can think of where cretins make crazy money doing the dumbest of dumb-dumb work and somehow it's never been questioned or toppled.

[JDMDreams]

Well isn't it the same as Canada post?

[westopher]

The thing is the port makes money. You can’t really fight for money that doesn’t exist. You aren’t going to convince a company to operate at a loss for your wages.
Doesn’t really apply to Canada post though as it’s a government service, not a private corporation.

[bcrdukes]

Wasn't sure what cretons were so the Google search yield the following:
Cretons, a minced pork pâté, is a breakfast staple for many French Canadians in parts of Quebec.

Badhobz is French Canadian.

Yo, what?!

[mikemhg]

My BIL is the union president for the mill in Gibsons, and he says the same issues.

For one, most of our mills are mostly Chinese owned now (Domtar for example). So it's not like we really "own" our industry anymore anyways.

Sad thing is you get the diehards in the union down the ladder that push for stuff that isn't viable from a fiscal perspective for the company, it ends up being a "cut your nose off to spite your face" scenario where the CBA essentially turfs the company, they close shop, everyone loses.

[spoon.ek9]

This is akin to all the guys flocking to the ONE girl in the car scene even though outside of that realm she's a fucking 6/10 at best. But because it's such a sausage fest and you're starved for options, you see her as a 8-9 out of 10.

[westopher]

Yucky she literally looked like a circus clown.
^ that’s like the airport 10. She’s a 6 in regular life but you just want to spend your flight beside her instead of the dude that they need to load on with a crane.

Hahahaha the stupid just never stops:

Spoiler!

A B.C. legislator who previously argued Truth and Reconciliation Day should not be recognized as a statutory holiday is proposing a new one that would celebrate the self-described “Freedom Convoy.”

Tara Armstrong, one of two MLAs who formed the right-wing One BC Party after being elected as B.C. Conservatives, introduced the Freedom Convoy Recognition Act Tuesday.

“The bill’s purpose is to recognize the achievements of the Freedom Convoy, one of the largest peaceful demonstrations in Canadian history. It inspired movements across the globe to stand against lockdowns and government overreach,” she said.


If Armstrong’s bill were to pass, the holiday would be marked on March 11 — the day provincial COVID-19 restrictions were eased in 2022.

“Mask mandates were lifted, faith communities could meet again, families were able to visit residents in long-term care,” the bill reads.

The Freedom Convoy paralyzed Ottawa for weeks, and several of its organizers have been convicted of criminal offences.

One BC did not run any candidates in the last provincial election and formed when Dallas Brodie was ousted from the B.C. Conservative caucus. Leader John Rustad said he had no choice but to eject Brodie after she made comments that “publicly mocked and belittled testimony from former residential school students.”


The Freedom Convoy Recognition Act passed first reading, unlike a bill Brodie introduced last month titled the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Statute Repeal Act.

That bill argued Truth and Reconciliation Day should not be a statutory holiday because it “doesn’t deserve to be one.” Armstrong voted in favour of that bill.

In the exchange that followed, Premier David Eby argued both Brodie and Armstrong should be recalled, describing their ideology as “clearly anti-Indigenous, unambiguously racist” and their comments in the legislature as “reprehensible, disgusting, appalling.”
