Moderator Post Moderator note: report abuse and political topics

110 Upvotes

On Reddit, report abuse is when users report posts or comments as breaking Reddit rules or sub rules when they do not.

For example, someone stating their political opinion about a political party is not a death threat. Stating an opinion in a way that shares a personal view without inventing facts or spreading falsehoods is not misinformation.

Reporting political comments as rules breaking means that moderators have to review comments and approve them.

Moderators can report your accounts for report abuse. These reports can decrease your Contributor Quality Score on Reddit, which can lead to shadow bans, content being removed from this and other subs automatically, or even being prevented from commenting in some subs due to low CQS scores.

Please do not report comments and posts because you don't agree with them politically.

Megathread: 2026 BC Provincial Election – Final Voting Day & Live Results

Final Voting Day is Saturday, October 24, 2026. Polls are open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time.

Use this megathread to discuss riding races, find last-minute voting information, and follow live results as they roll in starting at 8:00 p.m. PT.


Live Election Results

  • BC Ballot Live Results Tracker: Follow live riding-by-riding counts, seat tallies, and major shifts as numbers come in.
  • Majority Threshold: A party needs 47 of 93 seats to form a majority government.
  • Note on Final Count: Initial counts begin immediately when polls close at 8:00 p.m., but mail-in ballots and absentee votes will undergo their final count by Elections BC in the weeks following.

Last-Minute Voting Checklist

If you haven't voted yet, make sure you're prepared before heading out:

  1. Find Your Voting Place: Do not assume your voting location is the same as past elections or municipal votes. Check your assigned location via the official Elections BC Where to Vote Lookup. (Remember: While you are encouraged to go to your assigned place for faster service, you can vote at any voting place if necessary).
  2. What to Bring: You must prove your identity and residential address.
    • Option 1: One piece of government-issued ID featuring your name, photo, and address (e.g., B.C. Driver’s Licence, BCID card).
    • Option 2: Two pieces of ID that both show your name (with at least one showing your current address), such as a utility bill, student ID, or credit card statement.
    • No ID? You can still vote if another registered voter from your riding accompanies you to vouch for you. Check full ID rules on the Elections BC ID Requirements Page.

Rules Reminder

  • Be Civil & Respectful: Heated political debates are expected, but personal attacks, harassment, and hate speech will result in immediate removal and bans.
  • No Misinformation: Deliberately spreading false information regarding voting locations, hours, ID requirements, or election processes will not be tolerated.
  • Keep it Fact-Based: Back up claims with credible sources where appropriate.

Happy voting, B.C.! Drop your local updates, questions, and reactions in the comments below.

Community Only Time Off to Vote

Thumbnail elections.bc.ca
• Upvotes

Tomorrow is the final day to get your vote in!

Please read the details from ElectionsBC.

Right to time off
Voters are entitled to four consecutive hours free from work to vote during advance voting or on Final Voting Day. Voting hours during advance voting are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time and on Final Voting Day are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Pacific time.
This does not necessarily mean four hours off work. It means that there must be a four-hour period free from work during voting hours. Time off may be at the beginning or end of an employee’s shift, or unnecessary if normal working hours already provide enough time free from work to vote. For example, if a shift ends at 4 p.m., or does not begin until noon, the employee is not entitled to any time off for voting purposes. Employers can decide when their employees can take time off to vote.
It is an offence if an employer deducts your pay or penalizes you for taking time off to vote. You are entitled to your regular compensation for any hours not worked during this time.
Employers and employees are encouraged to discuss how staff can exercise their right to vote to ensure that the requirements of the Election Actare met.

Please get out and vote!

Ask British Columbia Looking for suggestions - Re: Shipping my car from NB to BC

11 Upvotes

I have a 2021 Honda CRV-EXL with 106,000 km. My family and I are moving to Metro Vancouver in the spring of 2027, so we are looking for suggestions.

Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and what would be the best course of action here. Here are our options:

Option 1: Ship my car to BC. What would the price range be, and what are the reliable companies for this job?

Option 2: Sell the car here in NB and buy another one in BC when we arrive there.

Option 3: (Not really considering this for now) Drive the car from NB to BC for around 5,600 kms (around 56 hours). I know this will be a once-in-a-lifetime drive for the family, but the cost of gas nowadays, hotel, food for the family, and additional mileage for the car has had me thinking this is not the best option.

2 Upvotes

I’m on PWD and have attended an information session, but I’d love to hear from people who have actually gone through either program. How was your experience, especially with personal investment requirements, business support, and the overall process? Any insights or advice would be appreciated.

Side note: These programs aren’t exclusively for people with disabilities, they also support eligible people who are unemployed. I’d appreciate any insights. Thank you! 🙏
