I think the move to call an election wasn’t fully thought out, but who wouldn’t call an election when your opponent’s side is imploding? But hindsight 20/20. The messaging from Eby is poor from day 1 of his tenure as premier. The things he proposed should have been announced even without the ‘threat’ of an election.
That being said, 9 years of straight NDP isn’t going to magically fix 16 years straight of BC Liberal policies and spending. It’s easier to spend/sell assets than save/generate wealth. It certainly didn’t help with COVID in there alongside a trade war. BC Liberals effectively bankrupted BC.
But sure, let’s vote for the BC Libs/Cons for more tax breaks…that will fix the budget! Somehow their words speak louder than their actions…

It’s not an age/culture war. It’s a wealth-class war.
