I don't know if that reference to "soccer moms" is necessary here...most of the populace was against decrim so why single women out? Also we all know, as the polls consistently tell us, that even when we already know all these things about Eby and the NDP, 40% of the population would still consistently vote them in to power. This isn't the same as Ontario, far from it. BC has its own version of fruit loop moonbeams out here. The Left Coast is a bastion of garbage politics which hasn't served my children, or other younger folks well for generations. It's why unions such as the BCTF, and the BCNU, are more powerful than the autoworkers union out East. Ideological principles reign supreme. It will take more than a change of power to eradicate that.
Ha, I am sure. All I know is that this is a mess out here. It will take a lot to undo the damage and I don’t think people understand how much work needs to be done to restore our society.
Superb analysis as always, Geoff. I remember all too well the despair of the Glen Clark era, and the relief that followed when the NDP was out of power for an extended time. The contrast you make between a pioneering visionary like WAC Bennet and Eby could not be clearer. Thank you...

Let it be known I am firmly pro-soccer mum. They are key voter demographic who always show up to the polls.

Mr. Eby settling in BC is referred to as “addition by subtraction” in Ontario.
Alas, he left quite a few similarly predisposed folks behind in his stead.
Of most interest to me is whether or not Mr. Eby can manipulate is time in office into a high wage, no-show type of job as did Bob Rae.
