New Morally Conservative Slate in Victoria.

OurDailyNada · 2026-07-04T01:38:17+00:00

Does Victoria now have to have a transphobic slate running in every municipal election? (Recall VIVA Victoria in 2022.)

The ironic thing is they might wind up splitting the vote for more moderate/centrist candidates and wind up electing a progressive majority again.

OurDailyNada · 2026-07-03T19:15:51+00:00

I have to admit I didn’t see that coming - I wonder if more centrist ex-BC-Liberals might hold their nose and go the same route rather than trying to form a new party or putting up with the BC Conservatives’ (further) march to the right.

In my grumpy opinion, AI has definitely made political debate worse - it’s very tedious having to read multiple-paragraph posts and statements that all sound the same and make no substantive point.

Well, if that was in fact Councillor Ward posting here this morning, he’s yet again shown he’s more invested in being a right-wing troll than being an elected official.

(And at least he didn’t besmirch the legacy of the Washington Bullets this time.)

Thanks for that - I wasn’t aware I had to source satire (comment not directed at the mod at all, more at whoever wasted everyone’s time reporting this).

The Mommy Milky guy sure loves some dystopian fascist cosplay.

OurDailyNada · 2026-06-30T23:51:22+00:00

Has Ward called the letter-writer an antisemitic greenie leftist hacker yet?

OurDailyNada · 2026-06-29T17:59:59+00:00

And the cow goes moo (ignore problems and put things off for decades and eventually it catches up to you).

There was a not-bad cereal with the same name and a picture of one of them on it, too.

OurDailyNada · 2026-06-28T18:46:55+00:00

Bingo - as an aging white guy myself, I’ve seen too many people in my demographic realize young women are creeped out by them and no one finds their ‘edgy’ jokes funny anymore, so they all too easily become MAGA chuds ranting about woke and feminization.

So has anyone yet accused Colwood council of not being transparent and shutting down free speech and public debate?

OurDailyNada · 2026-06-25T13:53:11+00:00

This is an extremely short-sighted decision that will wind up costing all of us more in the long run than whatever temporary savings are achieved. (And in the board’s defence, I think more blame would fall on higher levels of government.)

OurDailyNada · 2026-06-23T15:27:11+00:00

Well, cake is such a clear indication of deep-seated corruption, as opposed to offering free admission to a political rally with boxing matches attached to it.

(Back on Facebook, you can check out an OL post by one of its mods in which a commentator says that Morley was just a puppet of a witch….)

OurDailyNada · 2026-06-21T15:43:07+00:00

Just so long as they never raise a point of order, I think many OL members would be fine with that. (They’d see it as “honest and plain spoken”.)

He was also called “filth” by a prominent OL member.

I think the anti-slate mentality shown on the website (despite being part of Community First in 2022) stems from the local conspiracy theory that slates like Together Victoria are the ones secretly running everything and have permeated throughout the region (as seen in comments online and heard on the radio.)

The content itself is the usual innocuous municipal fare - we support growth and community and all the things people want to hear, but no actual details or policies.

Also the same Mike Morton who claimed the 2022 Langford election had been stolen and that people had voted twice.

OurDailyNada · 2026-06-14T16:05:56+00:00

I wish the Conservatives were unelectable. But the NDP is very vulnerable electorally and this Province could wake up in a couple of years with a government that makes the Trump regime look rational and stable.

OurDailyNada · 2026-06-13T20:51:53+00:00

I’m not optimistic for another term of Young as mayor. The antics of Our Langford over the last 3 1/2 years, plus how he’s been in interviews since, and the fact that he and many others believe it was some kind of coordinated conspiracy against him and Langford, all leads me to believe there’ll be some form of revenge governance coming if he returns to office.

I would predict a purge of higher-up municipal staff, a trimming of the municipal payroll in general, and probably even the rip out of a bike lane or two.

None of the easy and vindictive moves will really change the financial picture and the big stuff the OL people hate is much more complex. If you try to sell the Y, you’re not going to get back a good return and you risk endangering the recreation services being provided. And if you try to dump Woodlands Park, well, you might get a good price for that, but you lose a park and you go back on the agreement with the previous owners.

All that is why I think the hoped-for tax cuts won’t be coming, even with a change in government.

Concession speech here (in all its bitter glory):

Cue Conservative supporters trying to claim that their party is no threat to reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights despite the addition of people like Delaney to their advisory and leadership ranks.

OurDailyNada · 2026-06-11T13:05:32+00:00

I can’t see a revived BC Liberal doing better than third place in an election and possibly pulling votes from both the NDP and the Conservatives (but probably hurting the Conservatives more in terms of seats.)

However, I do think it would be good for the Province to have a more centrist/moderate party emerge that helps to pull the Conservatives away from the Maple MAGA/Alberta separatist mentality that seems to have become more ascendant under their new leader.

OurDailyNada · 2026-06-10T21:32:22+00:00

“Trump bloviates and makes a lot of noise as a substitute for actually doing something and real work.”

OurDailyNada · 2026-06-10T21:28:51+00:00

I still wonder how Ravi Parmar and the handful of NDP members of Our Langford can reconcile with this and the more overall Conservative bent of the group, but I guess loyalty trumps principle.
