BC Politics Thread 2026

Okay, boys and girls; have at it. A $100 million hit for an unwanted election in the middle of civic elections. It might actually be worthwhile if it backfires on Eby, and he's gone. It takes a special brand of incompetence to run up a $13 BILLION debt, after inheriting a $5 billion surplus. In TWO years!!! Toss in a few ongoing gems like emergency room closures, DRIPA (no consultation there, by-the-way) , non-funding of long-term care beds, mayhem on the streets, more overdose deaths etc etc and we have endured probably the worst premier, and government in the province's history. Trying to blame Trump for all the NDP failures is beyond pathetic.

The progressives are hooked on handouts and special interest causes, that Eby and Co are only too willing to listen to and coddle. He is no business man and it shows in how the NDP govern BC's finances under his regressive leadership.

Considering the insane alternative, I going to hope that Eby gets back in because if this place isn't a disaster now, wait until the moral morons get in and really fuck things up. You really want to go back to Crusty Clown and Kevin 'I never met an intern I didn't sexually assault' Falcon and the rest of that circus?

Im not a fan of NDP especially this past year but the alternatives are worse imo 💀 Im not voting for NDP/ at all, but wouldn't really have to (for them to win) as its a shit show of a party (conservative) currently

Neither of whom are anywhere near BC politics any more. Nice try. I usually voted NDP in the past, but how do you think any alternative could be worse than what Eby has inflicted on the province is such a short time?

Did you miss Crusty saying she would do anything to help recently? And how do you think any alternative could be any better than what we have now? Honestly, have you seen what kind of nutcases are in the opposition and running for office?

I really dislike Eby, but the opposition is non-existant right now, which is why he called the election.

Calling an election, blaming Trump and trying to cash in on the disarray of the BC Cons is about the most cynical and self-serving moves I have seen in forever. Eby used to have principles, he was the head of the BC Civil Liberties group at one point. Clearly, those principles are history, along with any ethics or integrity he may have had. I sincerely hope it blows up on him, but the other choices are pretty miserable right now.

Exactly -- blatantly stupid and self-serving move that will likely make things worse, not better, for all of us. There is no good ending to this horror movie.

Look I don’t like Eby, I don’t like the cons, the greens I don’t know enough about but also really don’t care for. I really wish we had a near center party here in BC. I’m a Red Tory (socially progressive but fiscally conservative) and I absolutely love what Carney is doing. If we had anything close to the federal liberals right now I’d be all for voting for them. As it stands now though I’d prefer if this whole thing backfired and we had a very weak minority government after this waste of time and money is over with. Would keep either side from getting anything done which is probably the best ending. Thank god we got a strong independent in my riding.

I can't stand EBY. He makes me sick.As far as I'm concerned, that guy can't leave office soon enough! No effen way I'm voting NDP! NOT A CHANCE! He's nothing but a snake in the grass and using Trump fear tactics to suck people in. Sadly, there are people that will buy into that bullshit. Very sad state we're in. Imo.

If only Count Binface could run here. A fellow I could support.

The NDP RUINED the provinces by giving complete and utter carte Blanche to shoot up anywhere you please and everywhere , ( though it does suite the times we’re living in , all about the plite of the criminal and the age of no rights for citizens or crime victims ) I can’t WAIT to vote them out .

There are also literally hundreds of thousands of Americans who believe Trump “direct quote“ ahead , “Was Sent by God” .

This bunch of NDPs seem so incompetent, and the Conservatives have too many far right members. I hope Centrebc will run good candidates.

Glad some people are seeing through the blame Trump bullshit. Doubt the masses will.

I’m hoping for an NDP minority so that they come out of this cynical anti-democratic decision with egg on their faces.
