“We have COVID, it will be with us for the foreseeable future, there will be case numbers that will be alarming,” the NDP Leader said as he launched his campaign. “But the challenge for us is, do we have a government that will be in a position to respond in November, December, January and February decisively, in the interest of British Columbians?

Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson said his party is ready for a campaign and promised to offer voters an “exciting vision” when the Liberals unveil their platform.

NDP Power Grab

Seven months early. You can criticize them for that if you want, but at least be accurate with your headline.

“Opposition does want”... translation... “opposition is much less less popular than the govt.” Let’s be clear. What B.C. Liberals and Greens wanted was an election AT ANY TME - IF the NDP had fucked up and badly disappointed voters thus reversing each Party’s current prospects.

Alex Shiff: With B.C. grappling with a worsening pandemic, an early election would be dangerousOPINION: Can we risk a five\u002Dweek campaign where bureaucrats steer the ship as MLAs and ministers focus on campaigning? Of course, good excuse. Like everything else. Such Bullshit. Do people understand that 99% of the BC population doesn't have the Covid. They wouldn't report it like that though because its just not frightening! That is nonsense. It can be done safely. Good explanation of perseveration. If everyone has a postage-stamp size intellect it is easy to fool them. The duty of the government is to teach: 187 square inches on a double page spread.
