Just remember on election day, there’s no such thing as independents.

They’re mostly former liberals that threw in the towel after years of being irrelevant due to the criminal mess they created. Then when confronted with that irrelevance, decided to tried and failed to join conservatives to save their own hides.

Sellouts that can’t be trusted.

I voted NDP, they are doing an OK job and i don't want to tolerate conservative/liberal lunacy and corruption.

Likewise for NDP. I think they’ll still win again despite liberal trickery and con lies.

Unfortunately I found some of my in-laws who are immigrants who don’t know (or really care) anything about local politics voted for a local candidate simply because they were of the same ethnicity.

Pisses me off. Then they’ll go “home” to another country and not need to deal with any fallout of their choice.

IMHO if you have more than one citizenship you shouldn’t be voting in Canadian elections.

So looks like it may be a minority government which I don’t have an issue with. Especially if the greens have the power to tip things one way or the other.

The greens hate cons more than the NDP though so it’s not all bad.

Oh look, even in utterly losing the former provincial liberals have found an effective way to fuck-over BC taxpayers.
