The Deets

Okay, fam, listen up. Things are getting kinda sus in the political scene. Word on the street is that someone set off a whole freakin' bomb outside B.C. Infrastructure Minister Bowinn Ma's office. Like, for real?!

Now, the big brains are saying this might be part of a bigger problem: mad hate and violence aimed at politicians. We're talking harassment, property damage, and straight-up death threats. Chris Tenove from UBC is saying this stuff is getting normalized because of fake news and extremist narratives. Big yikes!

Apparently, Ma isn't the only one dealing with this BS. Other politicians like Elenore Sturko, Selina Robinson, and even Jagmeet Singh have been dealing with threats. Elenore Sturko even said that even if she and Bowinn Ma disagree on political stuff, sending threats is not the way to go. Politicians like Brad West from Port Coquitlam are sus of how seriously the justice system is taking these threats.

The good news? They're trying to beef up security. New MLAs are getting training on spotting shady emails and doing security checks. But fr, is that enough? Seems like we need a whole vibe shift in how we talk to each other, no cap.
