I think we have mostly had right wing governments. Socreds originated in Alberta. I remember them with disdain. Gordon Campbell , pretending to be a Lib, was a form of that ideology. All business.
Global's Baldrey erred last wk & admitts (fakeBCLibs(harperCons) were Cons! Then back to bs. "Lib" Gordon Campbell at Con party event & he & Christie Clark stumped for Con win. Recall for 16yrs real Fed Libs nver stumped once for (fakeBCLibs. Clever: nasty policies blame Libs

Ladies and Gentlemen: First Past the Post.
And low voter turnout like last night's is a feature of First Past the Post. People show up to vote in far higher numbers under Pro Rep because their vote directly results in representation in govt. Under FPTP, most votes are pointless.
More Thank You @bcndp @Dave_Eby for tons done & more in progress. Even derailed by Covid, undid so much (fakeBCib damage. Never ideology rigid had panel on tweak 'no fault'. Actually used the Leg! More upgrade quality of life for BCers done than prev govt. Fix ICBC, etc. #bcpoli

Apparently, convoy support is no barrier to getting elected in BC. Just ask Lorne Doerksen.

Oh B.C., you f*cked up, the @Conservative_BC Party makes the @Alberta_UCP look sane. You don't even know who your premier will be. Word is, residential school denier and alt-right sh*t disturber @AaronGunn is going to run for leader. Good luck, you're going to need it🙄
Faith, Family, Freedom: a triad of tradition that masks a fourth, darker 'F'—Fascism. History doesn't just repeat; it rhymes in the most dangerous ways. Watch to see the real story behind these seemingly simple words.

And yet there are B.C. Conservative MLA’s who are First Nations and one whose wife and kids are First Nations. Someone please explain that to me.
Proof #CBC knows zip re BC @CBCNews @davidcommon interview ex-BC prem Campbell forced to resign: 9% approval. 'Last' prson to ask re 'policy'. Cost of living skyrocked, tolls, MSP out of pocket, raided ICBC, Hydro, BCLC Flogged Real Estate to Asia as "investment" vs homes #bcpoli

Remember these words. Dave Eby did the heavy lifting.
Félicitations, @LDoerkson, pour votre victoire électorale.
J’ai hâte de travailler avec vous, en tant que premier ministre, pour faire construire davantage de logements, libérer tout notre potentiel en tant que superpuissance énergétique et bâtir une Colombie-Britannique plus forte, ainsi qu’un Canada plus fort pour tous.
Merci, premier ministre @Dave_Eby, pour votre engagement et tout ce que nous avons accompli ensemble. Des projets d’infrastructure d’envergure ont été lancés. Des marchés d’exportation ont été ouverts. Des emplois ont été préservés.
Je vous souhaite, à vous et à votre famille, tout le meilleur pour ce nouveau chapitre.
Big concern for LM residents: Bridges everywhere except Tunnel... Why? Geotechnical said 'Had t/b tunnel cuz 800ft to reach bedrock. RMD built on silt. Earthquake=liquefaction. Bridge cheaper but pple die.
#bcpoli @bcndp care for public safety vs BC Cons care about 'cheaper'

Dear British Columbia,
I know you might be pissed at an election being called 2 years early BUT...
Don't be as stupid as Ontario & Alberta
The BC Cons will not & cannot make things more affordable but they WILL make your healthcare WORSE.

#BCpoli #BCElection #NeverVoteConservative Mormon Doerkson looks benign. 'Looks' can conceal real agenda.
Knows zero be LM. Bridges all over LM. But Massey is Tunnel built cuz no choice: Engineers find 800ft of silt b4 bedrock: Earthquake liquefaction. 'Cheaper' can be deadly.
