150k ballots is a fair amount left. Most of that is presumably mail which will favour the NDP.
I like their odds of holding Cowichan Valley and flipping Kelowna Centre, no shot anywhere else imo.
Elections BC begins final vote count Friday with results by Tuesday. It includes 150K ballots (mail-in, etc) pushing turnout above 50%. Also automatic recounts in Burnaby-South Metrotown + Ladysmith-Oceanside where (NDP) lead is less than 100 votes

People are fucking tired of this shit.
They're tired of the name-calling. The tantrums. The playing with soyjaks and Harry Potter and Star Wars dolls. The sexually charged fixations on streamers and Twitter accounts that hurt your feelings. The crybully shit that nobody buys because you're fundamentally violent and angry people who never even hide it.
You're fucking losers. You're fundamentally unpopular losers who believed that your Twitter engagement represented a nationally popular ideology and went on a humiliating ego trip for the last two years. Shitting your pants over and over and then announcing it was a W when people pointed out the smell.
The country is sick of you, and the world is sick of you. Your Twitter numbers do not mean shit. It's time to accept that it's over and go out and form real connections with real people. Or go on being the village idiots.

we can't do "it's not my job to educate you" this go around, woke 3.0 we are all volunteer teachers
I walked the Trump rally line to listen, not make assumptions. I talked with voters, asked questions and heard what matters to them.
When I'm elected, I'll represent all 82 counties and every Mississippian, no matter who they voted for. That's what being your senator means. #MississippiMatters

BC Cons better be paying attention
GOVERN NORMALLY
Otherwise we WILL throw you out in 2030
“Look inward” I am already well aware of Canada’s shortcomings. I certainly don’t need an American to tell me about my own history.
All you care about is feeling better about yourself. Marginalized Canadians are a tool you weaponize to cope with your insecurity.
Can we just be honest here? You don’t care about Canada being “racist” or whatever, you’re just envious of our better reputation.
The only “injustice” which actually bothers you is your hurt American ego.
It’d be nice if these “difficult and unpopular” decisions were actually good such as keeping Bill 44, but instead it’s likely just budget cuts and breaking their promises on lower taxes that they never planned to follow through with anyway.
Difficult and unpopular decisions ahead, B.C. premier-designate Lorne Doerkson says ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article…
Doerkson isn’t even the premier yet and the culture warriors are already making demands lmao.
They’re going to want a lot more than repealing SOGI. I hope Doerskon is prepared for this!
This is going to be a government of NIMBY pandering boomer slop, but at least we’ll have some classy tweets from the premier.

Can’t wait for the first day of the new B.C. legislature when Lorne shows up wearing pants and the media tells me this is why he’s a professional guy with standards

Everyone's falling over themselves praising Doerkson's civility and vibe, but one of his first acts is cancelling B.C.'s Be Nice To Gay People optional school curriculum, as a gay friend calls it.
“We can’t stand with hate, which is why I am endorsing a Republican.”
Genuinely insulting to the intelligence of everyone. Just be honest and say AES is a jackass and you’re doing this out of spite.
Yes I know I harp about this a lot, but man do these results in Metro Vancouver make me nauseous.
It looks like a result from the 2000s. All of the inroads the NDP made here for two decades… just gone. Eby squandered it all.
The media’s obsession with Doerkson is getting old. He didn’t give her his kidney, it’s just a Twitter post, an extremely standard one that every premier in the country would make!
The hubris after winning one election is insane.
Past “right-wing” govts succeeded because they relied on heavy support from the centre. If you think Conservatives can just win by default because BC is “right-wing” you’ve made a fundamental miscalculation.
Geoff Russ: B.C. is a right wing province. The NDP was merely a chaotic interlude nationalpost.com/opinion/geo…
I feel like a revived BC Liberal is more likely to flop than succeed.
People don’t necessarily want The Liberals, they want Mark Carney. If you can find a Mark Carney, then the New BC Liberals
have potential. If not, their fate is probably more like the Van Liberals or CentreBC.

Eby can come across to a lot of people as a 'woke social justice academic' - and they just broadly assign 'socialism' to a whole ton of that.
And as we've said, Eby's incompetence as a communicator meant he wasn't able to untangle that mess and carve out a different identity.
I think this is a preview for how the next four years are going to go.
Doerkson himself will want to govern relatively moderate, but the pressure from the base to bring in big right-wing change will be immense and I don’t know if Doerkson will have the nerve to defy them.
