Personally I think this was a mistake, but this is BC, there's really no other province like ours politically, we always seem to find something stupid to do.

Warhippy Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 While I wanted to give Wilkinson the benefit of the doubt, these words stuck out. After reading them I realized he is not a man looking to lead, his words indicate he is more aptly going to finger point and dance in glee at failures instead of working together to make the province better. If your first comments as the new leader of a party are to admit you are looking to highlight discord and point it out while trying to sow divisiveness in the government you are not a leader. Wilkinson said he’s prepared to hit the ground running once the legislature returns on Feb. 13, with priority number one being “holding [the NDP] to account.” “For the last six months they’ve been basically trying to study everything to death because they’re afraid to make decisions,” he said. Part of that strategy may involve trying to drive a wedge between the NDP and the Green Party, whose support it relies on to remain in power. “They have different views on some things but the Greens haven’t shown the stomach to actually vote against the party on anything,” he said. “So what we have is a Green Party that makes a lot of noise but actually just votes with the NDP, and so that tension is going to build up between the two of them, and we’ll be there to point that out.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how the BC Libs like to point out the 6 months the NDP have been in power as a dismal failure when the Libs themselves did SFA for 16 years. What I'll remember from that time period: a DUI and a premier that was possibly less likable than Hilary Clinton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houses skyrocketed in price and the wages have hardly increased in B.C during that time. If you take out tourism B.C would likely be top three in unemployment.

Weaver has really compromised on a lot of things and does look like the loser in that agreement. Personally I never thought Horgan was that capable but he really got everything he wanted and gave up nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does any incumbent from the Liberal party win the leadership race after the debacle of an election they ran ? Pretty embarassing how they gifted the election to the NDP.

Losing the Surrey ridings... was so avoidable... Not spending more of the surplus was very poor strategy.. Basically, the Libs should have easily won the election with better strategizing.
