[Infanteer]

Two PhDs from a unaccredited online university? Neat. She’s a classic charlatan.

Great candidate vetting there.

Look I know my first choice for my masters turned me down, but I’m not that despondent yet.

And Eby led them to a big slide, especially in Surrey, which might not endear him to some in his (more ruthlessly ambitious) party members:

As things stood on election night, the BC NDP won the popular vote, taking 44.6 per cent with the Conservatives close behind at 43.6 per cent. The Greens trailed with just over eight per cent.

That share of the vote was among the NDP’s better results, but short of what it received in the 2020 election held in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic when John Horgan led the party to a large majority. Eby replaced Horgan as leader almost two years ago.

The NDP slide translated into losses in several ridings the party had hoped to win and for 16 NDP incumbents. They included cabinet ministers Nathan Cullen in Bulkley Valley-Stikine, Pam Alexis in Abbotsford-Mission and Rachna Singh in Surrey North.

NDP incumbents also lost in three other seats in Surrey, two in Chilliwack, two in Richmond, two on northern Vancouver Island, two in Langley, one in Maple Ridge and one in the southern Interior.

All of those seats went to the Conservatives, who over the last 18 months built a movement from nothing that overtook the official Opposition, BC United, which responded by suspending its campaign in August.

It could take a week before final election results are determined.

For Nathan Cullen to lose, they really screwed up. he was well respected when I was working up there by both sides. He might decide to to take another run at the national leadership when the Fed NDP's take a beating next Federal election.

Re: The Bozo eruptions. Commentators have been noting lately that bringing up old tweets and FB posts to embarrass political opponents doesn't seem to have the career ending cachet it once had. Screaming "Heretic!" at every single deviation from the approved narrative has caused the voting public to tune out. They (the voting public) just don't give a shit anymore.

Is that the Trump effect? Since the Trumper is a complete crazy uncle with the nuance of a wrecking ball and is on track to become POTUS, then a provincial party leader can say he regrets getting the Covid vaccine with little blowback from the electorate.

Strange days indeed.

Advance voting has become more popular. Small beer surprise scandals only work if they hit shortly before people vote. Too early is almost as useless as too late.

Self-inflicted media scandals and water-carrying, and the perpetual lying of politicians, would have tuned out voters even without Trump's influence. Every mistake media and politicians make is amplified and remembered in the internet era and is a correspondingly larger hit to their credibility than if it had happened in 1970 when most people had access to one or two newspapers and CBC. Untrusted sources eventually have no influence.
