11We did the years of NDP and look how far it got us. Using the "orange man bad" only works for so long as an excuse. Eventually you have actually do something in government. Since the NDP got in, there isn't one thing I'm better off with now because of them. To many people, and usually it's the left leaning resort to name calling and personal attacks as you have done in your comment instead of having a debate that may change your opinion. To often left leaning people/voters associate their identity to their voting party.

11Diane Black is an accountant.She should be appointed as the special person to go over BC David Eby massive debt and lack of attention to details and over spending deficits.I prime example is the David Eby and NDP deciding to scrap the previous Christie Clark bridge to replace the Massy Tunnel. Eby went all in and decided to build a more expensive tunnel and scap the bridge that should have been built by now at a lower cost. We need a full accounting on excess and building things that BC cannot afford.Lets get accountability back into government. We need to start building affordable things in BC that can be built on time and on budget. Things that Eby was totally dysfunctional in achieving. Nothing has been built on time and on budget in BC for too long.Lets get the lawyers and dreamers out of BC politics and bring on the accountants like Diane Black.We have a former newspaper editor as premier, editors know that they have to be accountable or no one will read their paper.

8Not sure why people keep trying to frame DRIPA as inconsequential, that has not been the experience of those affected.And I think Lorne got one thing right so far. Both things have been a lightning rod for division.I am of the opinion you can’t have a system that treats people differently based on their identity. In the past we look at this as dastardly, but in the present, people think it is equitable. But one thing is certain, systems that seek to bestow different rights upon people based on race or religion, have always been doomed to failure. Also, it’s a little early for doomsaying. Quality of life in this province was in steep decline before this snap election was called, I am hopeful things will improve for everyone moving forward, instead of the anointed few.

5Because the NDP did so good. Please explain our economic disaster of going "green." Canada doesnt dent the climate carbon issue. Yet all these left leaning climate people don't seem to call out how much coal we ship to China, instead we could sent LNG which is cleaner but nope. All silence while our economy crumbled and ODs skyrocketed.

2Love the criticism from the usual suspects. Too easy. My apologies. Considering that in the past many of the usual suspects have posted positive comments about Trump the criticisms lack credibility to say the least. I need an Advil. Oh wait, please retort about the negative side effects. . . . Feel free to get excited about those rainbow sidewalks & trans library readings.

2Legal experts & Greens note DRIPA does not infringe on private land title. Aboriginal title & cons. rights act independently of DRIPA. Repeal of DRIPA does not remove Aboriginal title. Removing the DRIPA framework leaves courts as the way to resolve disputes increasing investment uncertainty. Time for a 2nd Advil while the So-cons Conservatives think of a way to strip women’s right to access abortion. Merely a matter of time. It’s in their dna. Peace & love.

Ward or what: Should PG adopt a new electoral framework?
2Having a ward system doesn’t mean there are winners or losers, the city still benefits as a whole. The idea of having a personal dedicated to an area seams to me like they would have to be more accessible and accountable.

BREAKING: Eby resigns as Conservatives claim victory with majority
2A deep dive on the numbers shows that the Conservatives in 2026 under Lorne Doerkson actually got less votes than John Rustad got in 2024. it appears that David Eby ran such a negative campaign that a lot of NDP voters stayed home.The polls may have got it right but for the wrong reasons.My opinion is that the NDP voters dumped Eby.I never saw a poll that said that many NDP voters would stay home.

2Where / who does this question come from? Vancouver quit its ward system in 1935. Surrey no longer used ward system in 1957. Lakes Country (north of Kelowna, south of Vernon) uses a hybrid. Is that because a ward system for municipal elections doesn't actually work? Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick all have multiple municipalities that use ward systems. That's a pretty general statement without anything to judge if a ward system works in the multiple municipalities that use it in other provinces. What is voter turn out like in these wards? What kind of statistics show the elected officials of wards are working together to achieve a functioning city council and mayor.

1@Reno Guy. I don’t disagree. But whatever the government has cooked up to make amends, is not working and in fact fanning flames.I understand DRIPA was used by courts to place aboriginal title upon peoples private property. They keep saying it’s of no consequence, but that just isn’t true. Property value has plummeted as a result and deals have fallen through. bands have been receiving funding for decades, to the tune of tens of billions, with no transparency. Yet the problems for your average indigenous person have not eased.The accusations in Kamloops were grave, yet these claims are unsubstantiated. Giving certain offenders lighter sentences, increase's the violence experienced by certain people. You want to give certain people access to free education and tax exemption, I say good. But all this other stuff is crazy. But when do people become exempt from assistance? 100k a year? Why do native groups have power, when they are unelected?

2I like that our new Premier wants to prioritize the North. We have always felt like unwanted stepchildren in the past years, where political emphasis in BC was mainly for the corridor of Victoria to Kelowna / AB Border in the South. We seem to be an afterthought. But still produce a lot of the Province's income. So it is about time, that we get more attention. Thank you and let's see how it plays out in reality.
