This boomer went out and got it done today. It’s been awhile since I voted so I was a bit rusty at first but my vote has been cast. I don’t care how it’s counted so long as it is. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like David Eby, and many voters on both sides of the spectrum also don't like him. The fact that a personally unlikeable Premier is outpolling his opponent speaks volumes to the offerings from both parties. I already voted by mail in ballot, for the NDP candidate in my riding, I don't mind sharing that. The team and policy is what I am voting for, while at the same time voting to reject John Rustad, just like his own party rejected him as their leader before he swapped to the CONS and made some back room deals to secure what power he could leading into this election. I am hopeful that most of the population of BC will also reject John Rustad's conspiracy theorists party of Big Business, big Gas and Big failures for BC. THat is about as partisan as I can get, for a guy whose own team isn't even in this election. I actually prefer Eby to Horgan. I think he comes off more genuine and well spoken although I'll admit I didn't catch the debate. I have seen him speak in press conferences many times and have seen him answer some pretty tough questions pretty well. Opinions and assholes though, amirite? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think the difference between Eby and Horgan matters. The only reason the Cons have any momentum is that they carry the brand name...'Conservative' The party is hollow, just got put together, and released their plan about a minute ago. It's the new team vs team world. Cons are proving that with Rustad. The man is a massive twit, but he's their twit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The polls are interesting. Main Street has a big con lead, all the others a lot tighter on overall popularity. 338 models by riding and it's not looking like a con victory. It'll be a really interesting check on federal predictions. I can't stand the social con crap. If they dropped that stuff I think the polls would be flipped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be shocked, Kelowna has voted this way forever and is 100% not the brightest group. We call them Kelownafornians for a reason. Also, this highlights why I keep saying don't vote for the party. Not a single person there could expand on why they voted the way they did.

I just have to hope that the NDP stops seeing these businesses as unimportant. I'm more pissed off that I'm left with having to support regressive social bullshit in order to support BC manufacturing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, but our country needs to key in on election interference within the country as much as it does out of it imo It's annoying, I've talked about it in the Canadian politics thread, but there's a bunch of these conservative backed groups on Facebook and so on Canada Proud this, whatever proud that, and they always propagate conservative talking points I don't engage with them so as to not fuck with my algorithm, but it's always Cons coopting Canadiana to try and sell their message There's been a noticeable uptick of it within the last half decade or so Edited Wednesday at 04:31 PM by Coconuts 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will cost about $600 million and will be worthless about 3 months after it opens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
