If you aren’t paying attention to B.C politics you should. Historic things are happening over there. The province has become the frontline for a lot of the issues Canadians are debating: - An unprecedented miscalculation from NDP premier David Eby who called an election two years early over political opportunism- reaching to make a race about Trump. He wound up losing government, and his leadership. - A repudiation of progressive policies on crime/substance abuse. - An expression of unease towards how Indigenous land claims and property rights are being handled there. - An incoming premier in Lorne Doerkson who has only been Con interim leader for 35 days, following an unexpected call while he was vacationing in Africa. Thrust into the role after Kerry-Lynne Findlay’s (the just elected Con party leader) epic flame out. Following major celebrations, Conservatives should think long and hard about whether the “true blue” candidates they elect at convention are capable of winning general elections/the broader appeal of average voters. I think this was a case of the revenge of conservative normies. It’s the province’s first Conservative government in nearly a century.
