Look at the provincial parties in power across the country, it's nearly all conservatives. Then consider we would probably have Poilievre as a PM if not for Trump's 51st state rhetoric, and even with Carney it's basically still conservative policy we're getting. It's a nationwide thing.

Equating the PQ to the BC conservatives is crazy, the first thing the PQ announced was 3-week vacations and more funding to community anti-homelessness progams. The BC conservatives first announcement was appointing an O&G consultant to lead the government transition.
BC doesn't even have a premiere.
Here's their legislative agenda.
-
Anti-SOGI legislation for schools
-
Repeal human rights code
-
Privatize healthcare / insurance
-
Authorize whatever Danelle Smith wants
-
Saying retard & n-word is protected speech
Well yeah, that was my argument, the PQ is not perfect but generally good and economically more left-wing than any other provincial government, whereas the BC cons suck enormous amounts of ass.
laughs in Albertan
Cries in Ontarian
Stares blankly in Nova Scotian
Dare I ask about the rest of them?
Wab seems alright!
I agree, as a not-Manitoban I really like the things I've seen from him. I'd be interested to hear more from someone more familiar with how he's governing.
*BC has increasingly milder winters, bad fire years, drought, and more obvious climate issues*
BC Cons: "We're going to triple LNG!!!"
Voters: 😋
Yeah, sad Québecois noises...

God we suck.
you would really expect quebec not to be so petrosexual, but really in all the ways that matter we are just americans ~✨qui parlent français✨~
it's sad to see
In this case, I think its because it would have strengthened bonds with the ROC
Quite possible. Unfortunately it's not like they're proposing to put the money into a provincial high speed network, or even just a provincial network. They just want to take the money for the high speed line and redistribute it to roads, hospitals, education, and the crumbs might go to public transit within cities. But nothing to connect cities together. Whatever the provincial party in power, there's absolutely no plan beyond trying to have municipal transit networks as cheap and basic as possible.
Le chef du Parti Québécois, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, annonce qu'il retirera le Québec du projet de TGV Alto du gouvernement fédéral estimé à potentiellement 200 milliards de dollars. La part du Québec s'élevant à près de 40 milliards de dollars dans le projet, un gouvernement du Parti Québécois demandera à ce que les sommes lui soient versées sans condition pour qu'il puisse l'investir dans les infrastructures prioritaires pour les Québécois: les routes, les hôpitaux, les écoles et le transport collectif dans les villes.
Hey, look on the bright side. You could be an American. (please save me oh god it burns)
We're already busy enough protecting ourselves from your country.
America has to save itself from itself.
That thinking is largely what got us here. Too many of us choosing the slightly better complete evil over actual progress because “at least it’s better than the US.”
BC because Eby wanted to retire/listened to a colossal idiot for trying to take advantage of an unknown interim Con leader and the volatility of the cons.
What he should have done is gave people some benefits, waited for everyone to hear the inevitable batshit con ideas in their leadership race, then call the election when everyone has been bribed and the con factions(steal-everything neocons and religious insane) are furious at each other
Lowest voter turn out in BC history. Cons got 100k less votes than 2024, but NDP got 300k less. Turns out surprising voters is not a good plan.
I think the biggest miscalculation was assuming that having 2 conservative parties was splitting the vote and not doubling the exposure of the popular choice.
It's crazy to me that people just don't vote. I'm out plastering anti-gov flyers on street polls, coordinating with significantly left wing associations and I still vote.
I didn't realize how low the count was. I wonder if it has anything to do with all the municipal elections happening at the same time.
He had 2 more years he could have used to implement a bunch of the new things they were suddenly promising during the campaign.
because Eby wanted to retire
Is this some weird NDP cope for shitting the bed?
Moron could've just stepped down instead of pulling the stunt he did.
He could've let someone else take over. Instead he ran again and tried to win. That's a weird move if he genuinely wanted to retire.
the only party that’s barely non-shit in quebec came in dead last :(
at least the CAQ got the humiliation they deserve lol
Technically second to last ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Sad Ontario municipal election noises
Which one?
Alvin Tedjo seems like an okay politician. Olivia got re-elected. Isn't that something worth celebrating?
Ottawa's was disappointing, with getting more Sutcliffe. I really thought Leiper had a better chance to unseat him.
