Wild thing is if Eby called the election one week earlier Findlay would have been the leader, the right would have been split and we could have cruised to some kind of victory

A post 2024 read of the fundimentals would have pointed to that being the NDP's last term and that they should use the time to get anything else they wanted done done. Instead they had one of the most aimless terms I can recall.

Final BC election thought: shame its not possible for everyone to lose

"Unclear who the NDP's message is for" sums up this entire campaign

This just looks like the SG-1 stunt doubles. You have not one but two Daniel Jackson looking dudes

municipal politicians be like

Does anyone else only have a vague sense of what normal skunk behavior is?

bc election polls uncall election how to uncall election how to uncall election bc

Paul Well's 4th law of Canadian Politics says "The candidate who auditions for the role of opposition leader will get the job." Sure feels like the NDP have been campaigning as the opposition to the conservatives.

If its the final days of the election and you are still trying to answer the why did I call an election question, you are losing.

Imagine thinking the problem with European transit agencies is that they spend their money actually building and running transit rather than on consultants to write equity reports.

Imagine going to Europe and saying the problem is they don't do transit planning the American way.

how do you write this?! how do you not realize you are the fucking problem here?! you are the one doing things worse! they are better at this than you!

In the real world, actualizing the right to housing requires that there are enough homes. This might seem self-evident, yet a surprising number of people struggle understanding this.

Voters across BC voting for change is probably not what you want to see of your the struggling incumbent premier about to face the electorate

If the province is going to be redoing the municipal goverance model (and it should), ideally cities would get new revenue powers in exchange for much curtailed land use powers

The NDP haven't run a great campaign, but this right here is just embarrassing for them.

The year is 2076, the recently elected Social Credit 2: Credit Harder government cancels the previous NDP government's planned Massey Tunnel expansion and announces they will build the bridge the NDP canceled.

Catching up on the BC debate. Who's bright idea was it to give Eby a lectern that only went up to his knees?

When was the last time a Liberal had higher approval among men than women?

Guy that wants to undo the unification of BC and Vancouver Island so Ottawa will pay for the Ferries like they do for Atlantic Canada

While I'm not sold on the BC Conservatives, the NDP's cynicism and arrogance leading to electoral comeuppance is narratively very satisfying

I think the only place where I have enjoyed the under road/rail viaduct space was in Tokyo where actually buildings with decent sound proofing get built and then used for shops and restaurants. Anything else will be futile hopium that people will actually want to be there.

AB Premier Danielle Smith announces the province is forcing Edmonton to reverse its infill housing rules, because why would you want an example of market-driving housing affordability in your small-government province? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjx2...

The government is making the right call here

I really hope the other parties absolutely tear into the NDP on this issue. This is the short of thing that ought to be government ending.

The top marginal tax rate will has grown under the NDP from 14.7% to 20.5% but they can't keep ERs open, they had to pause $10/day daycare expansion while blowing up the deficit. What is one more tax hike going to fix that the first several didn't?

I'm continually amazed the City of Vancouver hasn't negatively polarized more people into becoming radical libertarians

Most of those are supply manged, which is a literal government sponsored and protected cartel designed to raise prices. Artificially increasing the price of milk and eggs then layering price controls on top because the price is too high is completely incoherent
