Show PostCapital Daily's former status as the sole left-wing local outlet is badly, badly missed. I remember in 2022 when they uncovered the roots of VIVA Victoria, and people showed up to the polls to spare us from some pretty horrific politicians. Now, we are uninformed, disengaged.

Show PostVote early for municipal elections, BC. You're "just not into politics"? Your landlord is. Your employer is. Guy whose doorbell sas it's recording you every time you walk by, he votes. Folks who hate immigrants, they're "into" voting. You won't shape your city? They will. #bcpoli #yyj #yvr
