BC Green leader Emily Lowan wins Saanich North seat

BC Greens leader Emily Lowan has won her bid for election in Saanich North and the Islands, a Vancouver Island riding. #BCPoli

B.C. Green Party Leader Emily Lowan: "We are the only party equipped to stand against the Conservatives and what they stand for... Over the next four years our job is to be a voice for the many people who will be harmed by their policies"

Now that polls are closed... What on earth was Dave Eby thinking when he asked Green voters to vote NDP to keep out Cons? You want them? You offer them an incentive beyond fearmongering. You could have been courting them all along with good policy. And lose that condescension to Emily Lowan.

BC Greens Leader Emily Lowan is projected to win the riding of Saanich North and the Islands. https://cheknews.ca/bc-green-leader-emily-lowan-wins-bid-for-riding-on-vancouver-island-1356123/

GC Stewart Phillip has endorsed Emily Lowan in Saanich North AND endorsed some NDP candidates. David Eby is done, as he will not get the big majority he seeks. Vote strategically. Campaign strategically. Hope for a minority NDP government (without Eby) requiring Green support. #bcpoli #yyj

and spending his precious last day of campaigning shaming Green voters instead of putting his ego aside and negotiating with the Green Party.

A Conservative majority is the worst outcome of this election. It is really important to get out an vote tomorrow. The strengthening Green Party with Emily Lowan as leader is a great outcome. But we still need turnout on the left to keep the Cons out.

What an amazing morning out sign waving, hearing huge support (and tons of honks) for the BC Greens - plus a highlight visit from the amazing @emilylowan.bsky.social ! The stoke is off the charts!

B.C. Green Party Leader Emily Lowan, 26, delivers a sober election night address after winning her a seat in the legislature. The Greens won two seats tonight. Lowan said she would fight against healthcare cuts whilst supporting the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act.

Sexism is so bad in Canada 🍁 right now that we can have a politician like Emily Lowan in British Columbia who should be considered among the ranks of the Obamas & Mamdanis & AOCs, who is brilliant, uncorrupted, & well meaning, and then have people pick fucking conservatives.

A Canadian woman from Point Roberts who feared to cross the border has died, plus an interview with BC Green leader Emily Lowan and the new animated film Wildwood has deep roots in Portland. It's your #Cascadia arts & news roundup: www.cascadia-journal.com/cascadia-tod...

Eby resigns as NDP leader. A good start. Now fill your pockets with rocks and walk into the sea. Emily Lowan, Green Party Leader, wins her seat. Good that she can use her voice in the Legislature, even if it lacks power. 36% voter turnout is pathetic and I am disappointed in 2/3 of you. #bcpoli

Lorne Doerkson with a gracious acknowledgement of campaigns by David Eby and Emily Lowan, conspicuously no mention of Dallas Brodie

It’s going to be interesting living in a city with a newly elected Green Party mayor and city council in a province where BC conservatives are gonna sweep in and start running their playbook

I am predicting a very unstable minority government that lasts a year to 18 mos. But in that time Emily Lowan will be in the house, rocking it and holding people accountable, making for a very different election next time.
