Elections BC released the final list of confirmed candidates for the provincial election.
The BC Conservatives are the only ones with a full slate of 93 candidates.
The BC NDP is running 92 candidates, as it says the paperwork for the candidate in Peace River-North was incomplete.
The BC Greens have 73, while CentreBC and OneBC have 35 and 33, respectively.
It’s hard to understand why every party wouldn’t have enough candidates vetted waiting in the wings. Shows there’s lots of work before they are ready to serve.
I can’t wait for the Cons to wipe the NDP off the political map and reverse DRIPA. Too bad so sad chugs!!
In other encouraging news.
Latest polls have Democrats with an 86% chance of winning the House and 61% the senate. So hopefully DT gets lamed ducked and there more
room to negotiate these tariffs and stop the looneiness going on down there. I hope either the Dems or Republicans can put forward some kind of moderate agenda for the next elections.
Time in all parties to swing closer to the middle and actually represent the majority. I am tired of all this agendaism and ideology.
I hope they ask Eby about the 1000 grocery benefit promise in the last election. No one got it because the turd lied. He knew when he made the promise just how bad the books were yet made it anyway,
I didn’t know much about Lorne Doerkson before all this other than he was part of the BC liberal party. Which would have made him a moderate.
So far I like what I see. He seems down to earth, practical and very electable like Caroline Elliotte, who I preferred over Findlay . At least he isn’t a far right kook like Findlay or Rustad. Gald to see the back of those two.
We only need 50 seats but let’s go for 80!
If Lorne does well in the debate then it’s all over for the dipper!
Where’s NAZl Dallas Brodie? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why would Eby want an election right now? They aren’t doing a good job running the province, there will be plenty to throw back in his face at these debates. It is embarrassing that we have people like this running our province.
I can’t wait to see the weasel Eby try to answer a single question about the NDP’s record. He’s going to get skewered.
Stay neutral Global…we’re watching you!
