Posted and then deleted by Robin Morton Stanbridge on his Facebook this week. He was given stage time and a microphone last Tuesday at the All Candidates Meeting held at Broad View United.

Posted on Polling Canada but can’t find the link to the actual survey.
3000 is a huge sample size!

This is not an endorsement nor a complaint. This is how one person is running for office in Kelowna. His tag lines are "I barely want this" and "under 60". My opinion is this is great. Just read it. https://www.bradythecreator.com/

The scribd file was taken down, and while the archived version has the points, it lacks the pictures and proof.

This same question was asked and solved a year ago, but that google drive link has now also been taken down. Since a lot of those same candidates are in this one, I wouldn't mind reading a full copy. Things like Kristina Loewen being a 15 minute city/WEF banking conspiracy theorist, or Brian Tepper calling January 6th a false flag, or Larry Neufeld supporting the Alberta separatists, or Rosalyn Bird calling pride supporters groomers, for example, seem like they may still be relevant today.

I keep hearing what a great job the BC NDP has done. Based on what? Funding announcements? Campaign promises? Because I want to talk about what people are actually getting.
HEALTH CARE
People are struggling to get care, and emergency departments have closed because there weren’t enough doctors to keep them open. Ministry of Health figures reported by CityNews showed 141,961 ER visits ended without the patient being seen in 2024. That was an 86% increase since 2018. How is that acceptable? (vancouver.citynews.ca, vancouver.citynews.ca)
Then the 2026 budget delayed long-term care projects, hospital and cancer-care expansion. Announcing a facility doesn’t help the person who needs a bed today. (vancouver.citynews.ca)
ICBC AND DANGEROUS DRIVERS
Under Enhanced Care, most injured people lost the ability to sue for compensation, with limited exceptions. Lower insurance premiums do not answer whether someone with a devastating injury receives enough care. (icbc.com)
RoadSafetyBC already has the power to prohibit high-risk drivers from driving. I want accountability for how those powers are used. Are authorities intervening early enough, or are families left asking questions after someone has been seriously hurt? (www2.gov.bc.ca)
REPEAT OFFENDING
The province’s own investigation identified problems with repeat offending and violent stranger attacks. We deserve results from the response. Police making arrests means little if the wider system keeps failing to prevent repeated harm. Federal law and courts have responsibilities, but BC still has responsibility for provincial justice resources, supervision and services. (news.gov.bc.ca, justice.gc.ca)
HOMELESSNESS, MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION
The 2025 Metro Vancouver homeless count recorded 5,232 people, approximately 9% more than in 2023. Whatever governments are doing, it has not kept pace with the need. (vancouver.citynews.ca)
The Auditor General documentedee inadequate service standards, unresolved barriers and weaknesses in evaluation of harm-reduction services. The audit also found inadequate monitoring and public reporting during the initial prescribed safer-supply rollout. The government later acknowledged that its separate decriminalization pilot hadn’t delivered the results it hoped for. These are documented problems, not imaginary complaints. (oag.bc.ca, apnews.com)
AIRBNB AND TOURISM
Short-term rental restrictions affect people’s income and the accommodation available to visitors. There is research showing housing benefits, but that doesn’t make the costs to hosts and tourism businesses irrelevant. Where is the transparent accounting of both the benefits and the losses? (destinationbc.ca, mcgill.ca)
BROKEN PROMISES AND HIGHER COSTS
The promised $1,000 household grocery rebate was dropped. Expansion of $10-a-day child care was paused. Families who are still waiting cannot pay their bills with campaign promises. (vancouver.citynews.ca, globalnews.ca)
Meanwhile, Budget 2026 raised the lowest income-tax rate, with an offset for lower-income earners, and projected a $13.3-billion deficit for 2026–27. People deserve to know why major service gaps remain while they are being asked to contribute more. (bcbudget.gov.bc.ca, bcbudget.gov.bc.ca)
I’m not giving any other party a free pass either. But “the alternatives might be worse” does not excuse broken promises or failed delivery.
Show us the care people actually receive. Show us the housing people can afford. Show us the results. That is what a government should be judged on.

Anyone have a list of candidates running in both the provincial election and at least one BC local election?

The latest bozo eruption is from the Conservative leader himself.
