Western Canada: John Horgan and the NDP returned to power with a majority in B.C. election

, NDP leader John Horgan watched the returns in a downtown Vancouver hotel room. In a ballroom in the same hotel, the party’s headquarters for election night looked very different than a normal election. The pandemic protocols meant that party supporters were not allowed to gather, in fact just a handful of broadcast journalists were allowed in the room where Mr. Horgan spoke.

“While many British Columbians were not happy with Mr. Horgan calling a vote a year ahead of schedule and in violation of a governing agreement he signed with the Green party, they weren’t prepared to punish him at the polls,” writes Gary. “And now the NDP has its first majority in almost 30 years and looks as strikingly dominant a political force in B.C. as it ever has been.”

Even before the polls closed, the Liberals were appealing to their supporters for donations to help pay for challenges to election results in the coming weeks. “We need to ensure fairness and integrity in every riding in British Columbia,” wrote party president Paul Barbeau in an email.“We owe it to every voter, every voter – no matter how they expressed their intention – to wait for the final results,” said Mr. Wilkinson during his speech.
