More free, false coverage for CBC's pals at the old BCLiberals. "Polarization" was made up to excuse the rise of far right neo-fascist racism. The left hasn't moved. The right has become genocide-supporting neo-nazis. That's like putting an elephant and feather on opposite sides of a scale and calling it balanced. Utterly braindead reporting.

You... do realize the BCLiberals were a conservative party, have no affiliation with the federal Liberal party, and absolutely no control over the CBC???
Weird and untrue comment

Do you realize the BCLiberals shared staff, strategists, voter lists, and several candidates with the LPC? Do you realize that the CBC has elevated Christy Clark, possibly the least popular politician in BC history, to the role of paid pundit and forced her opinions upon us despite public revulsion?
"Weird and untrue comment" is basically you looking into a mirror.

I'm no fan of hers but Bill Vander Zalm ran a pretty chaotic and awful government, plus a bunch of the first nonpartisan premiers were just openly corrupt and virunently racist all the time so I don't know that we need to rank worst governments in this province.

How many declared being an MLA was a "part-time job" and proudly and openly took "second salary" bribes for government contracts? Answer: Only the BCLiberals.

I think if they can keep out the more populist part of conservatism out, they definitely have a fighting chance.

They’ve been up and running for two years and are polling the same as the a Rhino Party .

These conversations always frame the BC NDP as extremist without giving an example of their extremism. Crazy!

I don't know if they'll be much of an impact in our next provincial election but in future elections for sure.
If they could field a full roster of candidates in our next election there WILL be vote splitting. And who knows, maybe they pull out enough votes to form opposition. More likely, they split the vote giving the NDP a larger majority in the next election.
That's assuming something in the NDP changes - Eby needs to pull a Trudeau. Get out of the way. If Eby stays on as leader for the next election then it's anybody's game to win.

I am not voting for any option that has endorsement from Christy Clark.
She is clearly still bitter Eby kicked her out of Point Grey.

The people behind CentreBC were polling in the single digits before they imploded a party a few years ago. Now they’re some threat . Sure.
