35What a great success story.It's almost a throw-back to the heady, exciting days of W.A.C. Bennett, B.C.'s most famous premier ever to come from the interior (Kelowna) when Kelowna was still a sleepy, summer town , and not the ugly, extended suburb of Vancouver it has become.Doerkson, like Bennett, has the regular, everyman charisma. Unlike the urban, smug, elite, suits premiers like Eby et al. who have all come from Vancouver or Victoria for many years.It's the positive change that B.C. needs to get back on track.

12One can appreciate the tone of Doerkson. Unlike the shrill tone of indignation that comes from lightweights Smith & Poilievre.Let’s hope Doerkson avoids being associated with certain types of conservatives:>those that use terms like “woke” or “legacy media.” Certainly a red flag that one wears a tinfoil hat. >those who get excited over SOGI, DRIPA, etc. A telltale sign one adheres to dog whistle xenophobic politics.>those addicted to the 3 G’s. God, guns, & grievances. One would hope one would look in the mirror to see where change can begin rather than having a non-stop firehose laundry list of complaints. And, obviously, religious & gun nutbars to be avoided.>anti science, anti vax, man made climate change deniers are part of intellectual midget brigade so Doerkson, hopefully, won’t want to associated with that group. Best of luck Lorne.

4I don't think you understand what a suburb is...There are several synonyms that make far more sense. Satellite of Vancouver, extension of Vancouver, Vancouver of the interior, wannabe Vancouver....

11I like how you just dismissed the opinions of religious people, gun owners, “anti vax”, people who question “the science” behind drug addiction and climate. Not sure what sogi or dripa have to do with xenophobia. Ask property owners who are living the results of DRIPA, their property value has plummeted and deals have fallen through. If there is no consequence, why go through with it at all? What is the purpose of DRIPA in your opinion? People did sustain injuries from vaccines, it’s documented and there is government assistance for those people. So for some, it wasn’t harmless or crazy as you describe. Myocarditis.Addicted to grievances? Like we’re not supposed to be critical of the governments abysmal performance? Just be quiet and take your comeuppance. I believe in reducing our impact, but I recognize you can’t destroy peoples livelihoods and the economy in the process, without breeding massive resentment. Speaking of shrill indignation.

14Ha ha ha, it already was rock bottom. You know, sky high overdose deaths and poverty, record setting debt, people leaving in numbers not seen in 140 years. Even with a three seat majority, Eby couldn’t pass legislation, because his own party was in turmoil. They wouldn’t even back him.Give the conservatives a chance before declaring we’re all doomed. At least Lorne probably isn’t utilizing 10$ a day subsidized daycare 😅

7Not much hope when the leader does not understand DRIPA or SOGI. the FPTP circus continues and average citizens pay the price. Looks like BC got a Bullet Train to disaster, heaven(if it only existed) help us!

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.

BREAKING: Eby resigns as Conservatives claim victory with majority
13The conservatives have a big job ahead of them. The NDP was way too extreme on environment and reconciliation. There’s going to have to be a major course correction on that and British Columbians made the right choice in changing out the increasingly extreme and divisive B.C. NDP. The left has to do some serious soul searching imo… their rhetoric is divisive, hateful, and fearmongering. Just listen to the Green Party leader’s speech… zero class or respect for anyone. News flash: you don’t know everything and really have no clue what you’re doing…

9Congrats to the winners! B.C. is making a much needed course correction. The NDP made their contributions: built a lot of new schools, lowered ICBC rates, tried to further reconciliation in a meaningful way, etc. But economic growth is stagnating due to frivolous red tape and silly regulations etc. It’s time for a new government and some growth in resource development. Maybe the conservatives can bring in more wealth to the economy and improve healthcare and the paychecks of BCers. Let’s all hope so.

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.
