There’s a quote in his book that I think explains it really well and turned me off of him instantly. “Crisis is not the time for reform” in context to the GFC. So while he was stumping at stating we are in a crisis, I knew he was going to be the worst version of himself.

So in order to defeat Conservatives you voted for a Conservative? You forgot to mention that his dissertation is heavily based on Game Theory. Weird that the guy with a Doctorate in Game Theory framed an election as a zero sum game.

Let’s not forget in 2018 when the Conservative’s told Paul Wells they were going to do everything possible to get rid of the carbon tax. Then ran over Trudeau for years and years until it finally worked. Even Brown was a victim to this when CTV published slander to get him out of the OPC leadership race. Then the CPC just DQ’d him from Leadership.

But hey, you really stuck it to the guy you didn’t like by voting for his platform in a different suit.

The short answer is no. Eby and the BC NDP keep chasing a mythical voter who will never vote for them. They’ve always been a Centre-Left party, but shearing off the flank was and remains a bold choice.

Eby has been a great disappointment and next election is likely going to end up with him being the big loser. The BC Green’s making a left turn is going to eat into the BC NDP base just enough to split.

Which I have zero empathy for. The BC NDP could have changed the voting system multiple times, and its failed to institute democratic reforms that are in their own self interest. So they’re the masters of their own demise.

No they didn’t. Carney stole a bunch of Kate Raworth talking points and people bought it. “We have become a market society” was what pulled NDP voters and the left flank of the LPC in.
