British Columbia Premier David Eby is one of the leading Canadian antagonists who quickly aligned with Mark Carney in an effort to gain power. The province was essentially split 50/50, and so David Eby developed a quick plan.
Riding the “Elbow’s Up” wave promoted by most Canadian leadership, Eby announced a strategic snap election in September. His plan was to ride the anti-Trump wave and gain power. However, between the announcement in September and the election last night something shifted. Canadian munchkins began noticing the fraud behind Wizard Carney’s loud but shallow policy. Week by week as the Canadian economy began slipping, a change started.
Then came Lorne Doerkson, a pragmatic and patriotic ‘Conservative’ challenger. Doerkson is conservative in the most Canadian sense. He’s a friendly fellow with tones and a generally affable constitution akin to Mike Huckabee circa 2012. That is to say Doerkson was the perfect ‘non-scary’ candidate to pull in a lot of support.
As a consequence, Premier Eby’s snap election gamble backfired, and he ended up handing the B.C. Conservative Party a majority government. Lorne Doerkson’s party has gained roughly 64 of the province’s 93 ridings (districts), Eby collapsed to 17. {source} Doerkson will now lead British Columbia’s first Conservative government in nearly 100 years. Shortly after the results became evident, David Eby announced he would step down as B.C. NDP leader.
I’m not going to extrapolate too much into this outcome against the backdrop of a U.S. midterm sentiment; however, it would be foolish not to notice the hidden vote base that turned out for Lorne Doerkson.
There is a pragmatic center who fully understands what can be expected from left-wing political policy.
B.C. Conservative Leader Lorne Doerkson spoke to party supporters in Vancouver, where he thanked his family, his riding of Cariboo-Chilcotin and campaign volunteers. He promised to work as hard as his volunteers as B.C. premier and praised outgoing premier David Eby for his years of service.
I mentioned this earlier but this is the first time since 1928 that a conservative government has held power in British Columbia.
That in itself makes it a great achievement.
I NEVER would have projected this outcome for Los Angeles Ille Norte (BC). WOW!!!!!……..
Maybe we have overthunk Carney’s portfolio, mission, and vision for Canada…….
Is he possibly an Extension Agent for MAGA-CA, Inc., locking down the Donroe Doctrine after Greenland in the Great White North by protesting TOO much???
When the cantankerous NewFees hold their inevitable vote, Quebec will be crying out to France, Alberta will be the world’s 17th largest economy, and Ontario will be shoving Doug Ford as a last-ditch bulbous plug into the flushing toilet that has become it’s future.
Bless their hearts, and THANK YOU, MARK “elbows” CARNEY! 🙂
“You were under the impression
That when you were walking forwards
That you’d end up further onward
But things ain’t quite that simple“
No, they are not, and that’s why the Western Hemisphere needs to give a collective “shout out” to “Elbows Carney” and his Easy-Rider Short Bus To Stupidity….
VIVA AMERICA!!! 🙂
And TERMINATE FIVE GUYS EYES NOW!
No more USAID money. It’s always been conservative leaning.
It also goes to show just how terrible the liberal/globalist government is
At this stage of the game, this “achievement” seems more like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Good luck with that strategy, Snow Mexican Politicians.
That light you see at the end of the tunnel is a full moon reflecting off the biggest iceberg you have ever seen.
AS SCOTTY FROM THE LITTLE RASCALS USED TO SAY”THEY NEVER LEARN”.
He was so darned cute.
I have to admit amazement. The US state of (Commie) Washington is so close to this area, and yet BC seems to be rejecting globalization, despite the amount of Chinese influence in their area.
Maybe people have also had a bellyful of ridiculously high housing prices and watching the loony lose value. We’ll see what Alberta does.
In my past (limited) experience, BCers as a whole are close to the earth. A huge portion of Washingtonians and Oregonians, again in my limited experience (plus decades of watching from a distance) have their heads in the clouds, half blind and oxygen-starved.
Mostly the ones west of the Cascades.
Am thinking you’re referring to King County (south of me), that county which always finds just the right number of votes in a car trunk to get people like Gregoire elected.
An old bit of wisdom: To be a success you must have your head in the clouds, your feet on the ground, your nose to the wheel, your shoulder to the grindstone…and the ability to work in that position.
Maybe BC will now clean-out the Vancover meth industry. Looney Seattle I-5 corridor is probably the best customer…bill
I agree, but I think if it was strictly left up to Vancouver it would’ve been a different outcome.
BC has a sizable Asian population dominated by Chinese. Most of the Chinese came to Vancouver and BC to get away from the CCP. They are wealthy and more conservative than you may think.
I would not be surprised if their vote was a decisive factor in this election. According to Wiki, Chinese are over 11% of the population.
@John Chisum-“BC has a sizable Asian population dominated by Chinese.”
Yes, laws were passed to counter their culture encroachment. Apparently, neighborhoods were looking like they were in China instead of Canada. Architecture was uniquely Chinese instead of Western. Immigrants were remodeling their houses to look like architecture you would find in China. So, Canadians wanted to keep their Canadian identity by passing laws that stopped the Asian appearance of Canadian neighborhoods. Don’t bring the culture you fled from to the new country where you seek asylum. Makes sense doesn’t it?
The laws were passed to stop the acceleration of the real estate market. The Chinese had a lot of cash and were bidding out Canadians from their own markets. BC added a tax of sort, I don’t remember the specifics but that action cooled down the speculation and the Chinese went south into Washington and Oregon to buy homes. Those markets ended up in the same place.
Yes, as the UK was handing over Hong Kong to the CCP, any Hong Konger with $250,000 in the bank and signed an affidavit that they were going to either invest in or start a business in Canada, they got an immediate residency permit (because HK and Canada were all part of the British Commonwealth). Thus caused the influx of Chinese into BC, and more specifically Vancouver, further aggravating the housing shortage in the area and causing prices to skyrocket.
If true, that would make sense. Any conservative, or freedom-minded Hong Konger would certainly have fled the CCP’s takeover of Hong Kong.
Early 90’s lower mainland earned to name “Hongcouver”
Some more thought on the point regarding identity and culture. When the European immigrants came to America they brought their culture as well. They also assimilated as was expected at the time .
The Polish, Irish, Italians, Germans, and so on brought not only their culture and traditions but they stuck together as well. They shopped at each others businesses, attended churches that were predominantly attended by their own, and even neighborhoods became identified with each country.
So in that respect nothing has changed.
The majority of those European immigrants assimilated well because they were Christian…aligning well with our Constitution.
True.
This aspect is deliberately ignored by the Left, especially their media (which is just another way of saying “Left”).
And as a result, that lack of cultural assimilation is subsequently overlooked by the population who don’t get their information from anywhere but the Leftwing media.
But there were also some differences in what the various emigrants were looking for… a “New” York or a thoroughly new not-English or -French or -whatever? Something else entirely?
And they came before the welfare state?
They were mostly of christian culture, right?
Buddhism is the majority religion in much of Asia. They tend to be peaceful.
There are a growing number of Christians all throughout Asia but China is throttling that trend with not much success.
German and Czech settlers did much the same in Texas, even prior to statehood.
You don’t just leave the CCP. There are strings.
Like they say about Houston — “and then there’s Texas” — I would say the same is true of Vancouver vs the rest of BC. I definitely get your point (and agree), just saying there is also the rest of the province, FWIW.
Going along with that, the Chinese I met and worked alongside in LA many years ago seemed to be of similar persuasion, very sensible, etc.
I agree. Sensible is a good description.
So the conservative voters stayed home for almost a century? They certainly got what they tolerated for four generations. Unfortunately, we suffer from that malaise in the US too. God help us.
My guess is that the cheating was blocked for the first time in 100 years.
No USAID
Bingo!
God helps those who help themselves.
Actually, He helps those who cannot help themselves – that is the clarion biblical teaching. Not people who sit on their hands waiting to be rescued, but people without power who step out in faith anyway, trusting in their great rescuer to see them through.
I recognize the off-the-cuff here and don’t want to hit too hard on it, but some truths deserve repeating, especially when it comes to our Lord.
J
Tactful and gracious. Thank you.
And the Lord said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel claim glory for itself against Me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’ 3Now therefore, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and afraid, let him turn and depart at once from Mount Gilead.’ ” And twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained.
They’re conservatives Jim, but not as we know them. 😉
Lorne is a turncoat.
The real Conservative leaders, Dallas Brodie and then Kerry Lynne Findlay, were ousted by a string of nefarious activities including death threats over the last few months.
Meet the new boss (almost) same as the old boss.
Hope I’m wrong…
Dallas was among the first to note the BC conservatives turning left and set out on her own. But she was too much of an outlier to gain momentum.
Kerry Lynne has a track record and would have been what BC needs. She gained popularity fast. But that made her a threat to the uniparty establishment and she was ousted in a coup.
You can get the gist from her resignation letter:

Thank you for your insightful posts.

I do, as you may have surmised. 🤣
Southern BC is pretty much under the control of the CCP, with the exception of Surrey. They have bought off the top brass in Police and Border Control. They own many politicians at all levels and of all persuasions. They have massive operations in real estate, gambling, drugs etc., and the associated money laundering.
Some of he The biggest Fentanyl labs supplying America today are in the BC interior.
Surrey has been taken over by Indians, specifically Khalistanis. They use a similar MO to Islamic Jihadis but focus more on extortion as their primary crime. Their aim is to establish a country. Their leader recently boasted to the head of the RCMP that they have 1,000 armed men ready to do their bidding.
The best source about this stuff is Sam Cooper. I don’t want to post too many links, but go here and then search for the above topics.
https://www.thebureau.news/
Moose has a decent take on Lorne here:
I’ll do another post on the Dallas/Kerry saga to avoid the link-overload-mod-trigger. 😉
Moose said in an earlier video that he was going to hold his nose and vote ‘conservative,’ as they have pulled some shenanigans and kept real conservatives out.
🎯 I think that’s what a lot of people did out of desperation at the destruction Eby has caused. He inherited a $5 billion surplus coming into power, and turned it into a $13 billion deficit in just 4 years!
🤯 😡
I wonder if Eby is kin to Wes Moore, Governor of Md? Moore came into office inheriting a 5 billion dollar surplus and now has a 3 plus billion dollar deficit.
🤣 Well he still has to rack up another USD 7 billion of deficit to be in Eby’s league. 🤯
Never liked Hogan but he was 100% better than this closet commie Wes Moore.
Moore is little more than a loony fabulist and figment of the DEI crowd’s imagination.

That helps to explain the PNW being invaded by Indian gangs with their drug and arms trafficking.

🎯 And they are now collaborating with the CCP, Mexican cartels, First Nations and even some Islamic Jihadis in Canadian Fentanyl manufacturing and export to America.
See Sam Cooper.
At one time there was a significant Russian (Ukrainian?) faction operating between Vancouver and Seattle. A lot of cars stolen the US were going out via container. Cash goes south, Coke North. I also recall a troika between the HA, Cartels and Russians. The Russian was found KIA in Mexico, this was a long time ago. Also Indians and Russians smuggling cash together south. BC bud was king back then, a lot of bud for coke swaps, a free market miracle.
BC is an interesting place.
You are on target…bill
Here’s a set of X posts by searching Kerry Lynne Findlay. She was what BC needs imho. But some issues and some smearing. You can get the gist, and see some supportive and anti replies
https://nitter.click/search?f=tweets&q=kerry+lynne+findlay&since=&until=&min_faves=
Dallas Brodie is a very convoluted situation. Solid onservative ideas overall, but she had a focus on the residential schools scam which is very controversial. I think she’s right but it’s a hard sell because so many want to virtue signal about their allyship with First Nations.
Marc Nixon has a decent take on her imho:

All very interesting. Thanks for posting.
Emotions, feelings work for a while, then people begin to smarten up.
With the absurdity of the left put a reasoned candidate up mitigate the cheat system and the modern left will be vanquished.
You will get Nixon 49-1 in 1972, Reagan 49-1 1984, the dark ones know this, something must be done…cheat more! The lefts charade only works with fraud.
Right on.
A lot of people may not remember how overwhelmingly Nixon won in his second term.
And he was as good as lynched for it.
That was when they perfected the art of getting an entire nation to hate one man. Nixon Derangement Syndrome

Saw post on Truth Social from GA Nerds about the rampant cheating they are already seeing there. The Commies have really usurped North Carolina and Georgia.
The commies had help that paved their way into power in GA, namely ratsburger & kemp.
I’m sure that the same happened in NC.
Is a conservative Canadian politician actually conservative, or are they simply trying to achieve communism more slowly?
Good Morning Canada!! Youse guys did good in B.C., keep it up!
It may only be a tremor, but could go full earthquake!
Go beneath the surface and its a Uniparty win
Not really! ( a coalition yes.) We live here in Greater Vancouver. and are huge President Trump supporters. It is good to remember that our form of governance is not like that of the U.S.A.
What was achieved last night was truly quite astonishing, in that Eby ( the NDP leader) is a communist scumbag that had much of the middle of the road, President Trump hating crowd on board.
Not to mention the 100% support of the “ Green Party” and Carney our P.M 🤮
This is a very positive move for B.C. but only time will tell.
Cheers!
Beauty, eh?
Thank you Dekester. Glad to see your posts.
Cheers!
Always good to hear your take Dek!
a nattering naybob of negativity, half full, mostly cloudy before we even start.
Just shows that in comparison to the whack jobs that Dems and socialist/commie party is putting together, any sensible politician that is not a whack job has a decent chance. DJT will be irreplaceable but one doesn’t need to have that charisma or style to win.
Did the cut back in USAID have anything to do with a conservative winning in BC (like it did in South America)?
I thought U SAID was focused more on developing countries, not Canada. But they, of course, break all rules so why not that (if such a rule or standard exists).
Interesting looking at the USA elections….the likelihood of potential “moderate” voters coming out for the GOP, combined with the redistricting which has occurred. Now there are rumblings coming out of both parties that the blue wave exists only in liberal’s dreams.
Politico has dims tempering expectations on the House races.
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/10/23/democrats-house-map-election-expectations-01134127
GOP money now flowing into some races and our great President doing all that he can may give us surprising results in the mid terms. I am cautiously optimistic that the Senate and the House will remain in the GOP. However bitter experience and Paul Ryan reminds to never underestimate the GOP’s capability to lose when they want to lose.
The DC Uniparty must be relegated to the ash heap of history. Investigate and prosecute corruption inside the DC beltway.
More (this morning) on why the mid terms may have surprising results in the USA

If you consider the polls consistently favor dum o crats by 4% points since the 1990s and you factor in the fake polls that were recently uncovered……..then there is room to be optimistic about the midterms.
Are you like me in that you never respond to polls? Most MAGA type voters won’t even answer to a phone number they don’t recognize. You?
I am like you.
That is the way I view it also.

Steven Galloway was once at the top of Canadian letters: author of The Cellist of Sarajevo and chair of UBC’s creative writing programme. In 2015, unproven sexual-assault allegations ended his career and split CanLit in two. A decade on, his defamation case is finally being heard in B.C. Supreme Court.
Quillette podcast host Jonathan Kay speaks with National Post writer and Quillette contributor Amy Hamm, who has been in the courtroom. They discuss why the principal defendant can only be called A.B., why she is not attending and no longer argues her allegations were true, the $30,000 bursary UBC paid her after graduation, Galloway’s testimony about losing the ability to write, and what the case says about British Columbia’s political culture.
The potty mouth Hannah McGregor 2019 audio clip starting at 5:25 in the above video is an excellent example of BC elite culture. They have a language all their own….
“They”. LOL. RedNJ is “they”. Ignore.
Need eye bleach after looking at the picture of Hannah
Go away troll/bot. Please ignore RedNJ. It just posts talking points from Soros to black pill. Don’t waste your time responding. Just ignore.
I don’t think American political sentiment is able to be polled anymore.
The events of the Obama and Biden years ensured that ordinary Conservatives keep their opinions much closer to the vest than before. They don’t talk; they do vote.
There are unintended consequences to persecution.
The threat of persecution by future Communists is real. They teii us frequently that our type must be removed completejy
Before caller ID people would answer their phones, now with caller ID, people pick and choose which numbers to answer. I don’t answer unknown numbers and so I can not be polled. This is true for millions of other people. With todays technology, polls can not be accurate, not even close, they are just a WAG based upon the pollster’s need to feed the information the party writing the checks want.
Yes, and before cell phones there was a “home” phone number and anyone in the family might answer.
That was a good thing . Remember an uncle I loved called the land line and I answered we had such anice visit.
Still have the land line btw and I love it.
And all of the lefties promising to punish any and all people who hold conservative views in their public pronouncements are driving conservatives underground and making them the Silent Majority again.
Putting out (R) candidate yard signs even pose threats of vandalism; whereas opportunistic street corners are covered with opposing candidates signs.

If BC and Alberta combined as a nation and left Canada they would have a nominal GDP of about $500bn. This combined Western Canadian economy would sit just behind major mid-sized global economies like Sweden or Israel and slightly ahead of countries like Norway or the United Arab Emirates.
Yes, $500bn, for about five years. That’s how long with real leadership it would take them to turbo-charge their economy after which their GDP could grow 10X. Oil and gas, forestry, agriculture, tourism, mining, fisheries, they have it all.
Is it possible that the voters voted their pocketbook and voted against the party that has stressed out their economy? If that trend follows here, then it is President Trump that will lose ground. Just stay prepared for anything, the truth has been the first victim of this election cycle and propaganda has been on steroids and a lot of fingers have been pointing at this administration for our nations woes, real or fictitious..
My observation here is that those complaining the loudest are least likely to vote, mostly the young.
The young are getting their information thru the filter of social media. I don’t know how they digest it, I do know that my DIL is a social media drama queen and it wears old. I can only hope that the social media drama queens wear old on the young as well.
Carney, isn’t that what they call the sometimes less that honest people who staff the traveling circus?
GOOD NEWS! for canada. I am an American, raised and born in the GOOD OLD USA. And I was raised to like Canada, and think of them as a good friendly country. They stood with us during world war 2, and seemed a more nature-cold-wilderness Country. Growing up watching the Canadian Mounties , in red coats and acting Friendly but protecting the Country from “evil-doers” … growing up.
I guess during the Viet-nam era, canada became haven for anti-war people and they moved to Canada.
Now-a-days … it does seem pretty Leftist and flirting with Communism/Socialism … and sort have a QUIET traditional older people and rebellious hippies that are now boomer older people who are anti-american like Calafornia on the west coast, and New York crowd (progressives … who move too fast, and think too fast, and are screming and trying to rob Country hicks … with their “fast talking”.
I was raised in New York, but it became too fast for me, and I moved down south … over 30-40 years ago.. 🙂
It seems to me that USA and Canada might start to agree on COMMON SENSE policies and family values again.
“too fast”… reminds me of a priest I encountered in Massachusetts back in the 70s who told me, “you people drive so infernally slow down there!” (In NC).
Also in the 70s I went to a NATO school with a couple of Canadian Air Force dudes who seemed as normal and familiar to me as anybody I’d ever met. None of our conversations ever came close to “us versus them”, Americans vs Canadians. In their minds we were one and the same. I liked that a lot, always did, especially after spending two weeks traveling through western CA. Because yeah, “North America.”
But now, who knows, from one day or one province to the next?
Time will tell if Doerkson is worth anything or if he’s just another globalist turd with a different letter next to his name.
At the end of the day, Canada’s biggest trade partner is the US, and the US is squelching the flood of cheap Chinese trash into our market. If Canada would like to survive economically, then they need to find something useful to do other than assemble and sell Chinese trash. That’s the entire situation in a nutshell.
The US also refines their oil into gasoline and diesel for them. They really have been screwed by their “leaders”.
Well, as I remember the NDP in BC is basically the Communist Party of Canada, as the Liberal Party is too right-wing. That is a very shocking development and maybe the Trudeau coalition is starting to recede and commonsense returning to the electorate to realize how screwed the Canucks are.
Good for the BC conservatives.
I will never understand how someone can just “call an election.” Strange way of conducting government.
Parliamentary form of government….same in Britain..
And in watching this, as surely he is, the installed PM there, the tyrant Andy Burnham, will take fright and not call for a snap General Election…as he suggested he might.
And as he is in the position solely because he won a by-election in Manchester for a seat as a Member of the UK Parliament and was then elevated to PM solely by Labour Party votes (and not in a GE), morally he should call for one.
Most Brits want it. They will not get it.
Power, the most potent aphrodesiac…or so it has been said.
Those who have it do not willingly gamble on having it withdrawn by the people whom they are meant to serve, but do not.
And now, nor will Carney.
(I know…it’s complicated.)
😂
Good morning, Betsy!
Good morning, dear Jeanine…Blessed be your Sabbath 💕
How conservative is a Canadian conservative politician? I guess we’ll see.
It’s only a good outcome if they do something with it.
That’s a nice post to start the day! Good luck to the Canadian munchkins!
Back in the day, we called this the Silent Majority.
When they show up with purpose, watch out!
Good on them. Hopefully common sense prevails here for the midterms. Thanks for this news.
To me that’s as big a surprise as Albertans voting against independence! I’ve thought of BC as more of a province of China than Canada with all the Chinese living there and all Chinese fentanyl being smuggled in the US. JMO
Eby and Carney both look like they have some serious gastric disturbance going on.
BC is some of the most spectacular country in the world, and I’ve seen 41 of the 50 states plus Europe from Istanbul to England. Western Canadians (gassy politicians aside) are our kind of people.
The commies live only by our own hand….
Cut them off, they die on the vine….
GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND VOTE!
We can CRUSH them, they are weak…..
NO MERCY!
I so do like the way you think, good Sir!
To set the record straight, we had many years of a Social Credit government under W.A.C. Bennett and later his son. They were responsible for building the highways and opening up all areas of the province. They would even be more Conservative than most Conservatives by today’s standards. In 1972 with the election of the first NDP government the slide into socialism began in earnest.
Sundance,
Good point about digging in too far at this juncture in our mid-terms.
The missteps by EBY and his party arrogance ring true to what we have going on here in the US
Dems believe their base are going to vote in troves in Nov, but I think there is a unrecognized base just waiting to explode.
An ace in the hole, if you will. Get ready!
By their fruits you will know them.
These should not take too long to become visible.
To the extent that the Canadian results are a harbinger, they’re a bad one. The key from this piece:
This wasn’t an ideological election. Carney “owns” the Canadian economy. The “pragmatic center” voted with their wallets, and his allies paid the price.
The problem is that Trump similarly “owns” the American economy–which, in the framework of the upcoming midterms, puts him in the same position as Carney.
Doug Ford did the same thing in Ontario. It worked for him.
Glorious!!!
Exactly why little Zman refuses to hold elections, too…….
Thankful for Frostback’s thoughts today and looking forward to what Dekester has to say!
Gives me hope for California. Without USAID money……combined with their extremist one party rule for 20 years……picking a stuffed shirt for a candidate who is using the Biden Basement campaign strategy …… and taking the “elbows up” anti-Trump message to a ridiculous level (commercials on TV claiming the citizens initiative (backed by 80-90% of people in the polls) to put Voter ID, citizen verification and quarterly purging of dead people off the rolls as “scary Trump rigging our elections and ruining our democracy”), maybe, just MAYBE, moderates will wake up and throw the Dems out in a startling result!
As a Canadian, albeit from the east coast, not the west, I strongly suspect that this new BC government will prove to be yet another set of phoney Conservatives akin to those in Ontario who will not make necessary changes and instead fall into the typical Canadian Conservative governing role of aspiring to be nothing more than able administrators of a leftist state.
Do not read anything into this other than what it was: rejection of an incumbent government that wore out its welcome and was (correctly) perceived to have called this election solely for its own desires, attempting to catch the opposition off guard when their leadership was in turmoil.
Along the same lines. I live in Virginia. In late summer and early fall the ads for Mark Warner were every where, I could even watch a you tube video without being bombarded. In early October they disappeared. Starting yesterday they are back. Are any of my fellow Teepers seeing something like this?
I got a mailer, have not seen much else. I am in Fredrick County. No cable, and I pay to not get ads on you tube. Maybe they think my area is a lock and are not spending here.
And let’s hope Brazil move firmly in that direction today! I trust Lula about as much as I trust barry obama
I no longer live in Canada – But this is a positive step – Maybe that’s what Canada needs – A Christian with Mennonite morals and work ethic.
Whether Lorne Doerkson is legitimate or not, it’s always nice to see phony power mongers with an agenda lose.
Those riding what they perceive as an “anti-Trump wave” are fooling themselves. They see only the fin above the water. They have no idea how monstrous huge the Trump support is beneath the surface. Bring it. Find out.
They didn’t just lose. They snapped.
I suppose it is the best one can expect from Canada and BC. Given the serial betrayals by the Conservative Party, I don’t see a reason for great celebration.
I never heard anything about this race in any of the news outlets. Was there any polling showing this could happen?
I’ve been around long enough to know what it means when a voter base turns on a Globalist candidate…..Russian interference! Somehow.
