Will my BC Hydro login ever work on the first try? Or will I always have to come back another day to see if it's been fixed?

Hey @avilewis.ca. I'm not sure how you use bluesky, if it's only considered a broadcasting tool vs an opportunity to engage with supporters, but I do want to find an opportunity to learn more about your stance on UBI. What's the best way to get an answer given I didn't get a reply?
I'm astonished by how Canadians of all walks of life shift uncomfortably in their seats as soon as politics comes up. The rare occasion I get to alude to ANYTHING current affairs -even in jest- gets shut down with an 'I'm sorry, I know nothing about politics'. These are educated middle-class peeps.
Not that I support the tiniest violin underdog story posed by the Conservative party but... aren't the libs funded by these same exact interests?
How can we make it more obvious who the puppeteers behind our politicians are?
I haven't found any position statements from you that discuss UBI (universal basic income), although I do see some overlap in what you seem to be about. But I'd love to hear more about it from the horses mouth... Is there anything on your platform that touches on this?
Thanks!
@avilewis.ca hey Avi, I've recently joined the NDP as a member so I can participate in the upcoming election (thank you for promoting that, btw). You have been vouched for by people I respect, and I try to understand where candidates stand regarding policies I care about..

I found Marcello HernΓ‘ndez's special so freaking refreshing. Love that kid and the immigrant Latino American story he represents. Although mine is a bit more convoluted, he makes me connect with my identity with pride :)

@seanorr.bsky.social next year, you should print t shirts that say 'ABC DOES NOT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE' and give them out for free. I'd happily donate to this.
I'm so eternally grateful for my connection to my own past and history, and understand how many people lose their roots, language, history...
If AI succeeds, we need universal basic income, and if AI fails, we need universal basic income. Also, we should have implemented UBI decades ago when working class incomes first decoupled from productivity growth.
Stop Ken Sim's budget cuts. Protect our community's services and programs. I've added my voice to the outcry and you should too. Send a letter to city council: share.nwmd.social/s/TFTIr1NR
Seeing this city finally mobilize against its own inertia is invigorating!

Not looking forward to next week, when I'll have to somehow explain to my dog that we're waiting an extra hour to go outside, when it's already dark at the park. Fun times.
BUT WHERE'S THE 'I'M NOT A ROBOT' BUTTON, REALTOR.CA?
How many days should pass after your dog ATE SHIT OFF THE STREET to feel OK and let her kiss you again? π«
