When will the BC Election be called?

[papillion]

guichon would have to have been completely out to lunch to not realize christy was trying to manipulate and play her for a fool for her own gain to get that snap election. thankfully her and whoever was advising her saw through the garbage christy was shuffling. hopefully she made that bitch squirm for the hour and a half they were talking. now hopefully the liberals will see that christy is a hinderance to the party regaining power in the future, and immediately set the wheels in motion for a leadership review. if they're smart they will kick her to the curb, get someone new in there that can completely distance themselves from all the flip flopping, game playing damage christy has done.

the best thing about this is now christy's precious legacy is ruined. no matter what, she will always go down in history as the premier who was booted from government. with all the smugness, and elitist attitudes she put forth it's gratifying to see her humiliated like this.

History will not look favourably on the clark legacy, especially now that the ndp has access to the budget records from the past 16 years.
In the very near future, BCers are going learn about some scandalous use of taxpayers money, the pilfering of crown corporations like ICBC and Hydro, the selling off of crown assets to connected parties, and on it will go.

I'm not sure that Christina Joan Clark, MLA will last very long as the leader of BC Liberal Party.

For me the tipping point against Clark was when her government wrongfully fired seven Ministry of Health researchers in 2012, one of whom committed suicide after being relentlessly badgered by her government investigators.

Christina Joan Clark had not one word of contrition, not one word of sympathy.

Good that she now knows how painful it is to be fired from job. I'll be happy when she's fired as leader by her own party members.

Christy Clark announced today she's stepping down from BC Liberal leadership August 4. She's also reported as resigning as MLA.

Clark era has ended. That didn't take very long, did it?

So much for the fools who actually thought she had any interest in her constituents, or party.

Clark has always been about cynicism and self-interest.

Now, she'sll probably land her fat ass in some corporate donor reward position, to pad her $100,000 P/A pension we're paying her.

John Horgan was very gracious in accepting his early Christmas Present. He has 6 months of not having to worry about having the numbers to win a vote in the house. He may find that even more BC Liberals are going to resign because the Conservatives have been successful in their coup and the BC Liberal Caucus is not going to be a friendly place for the few Liberals that are left.

There will be a by-election in February, but that may become a general election as the Horgan government lays down the planks of their election campaign. He would love an election campaign against Coleman.

Glad that Corrupt Christy is gone, and it was not soon enough. Remember this premier, aside from damaging BC's environment in every way that she could, also has blood on her hands - namely one health researcher who was driven to suicide by false accusations, just to discredit and shut down the program he worked on. In the eyes of Christy and her crooked party, pleasing some Big Pharma lobbyists was worth destroying someone's life, so fuck that perma-smiling sociopath and all her MLA supporters. Let that guy's memory become their curse, especially hers.

PS: Did you see Rich Coleman all misty-eyed on the news? Ridiculous.

I recall one election she lost her own seat & then had some guy step down from his in the "sure fire" riding they knew they'd win. I mean that is slimy. Google has a good memory. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/new...tion-but-lost-her-own-riding/article11936980/

Yeah, that's how it goes. David Eby - now the attorney general - (ugh) beat her in her Point Grey riding in 2013. So she got parachuted into the safe seat of West Kelowna.

If the new government is smart they should use that time limit before the byelection to enact that campaign finance reform they were talking about, and also something that will strike dead the damn Kinder Morgan expansion as well. Unfortunately this week the NDP were showing signs of wimping out on the latter issue.

If the NDP and the Greens truly believe in a "new way" of doing things, Mr. Horgan should call the by-election as soon as possible. After all, the people of what has been Clark's riding have a right to be represented in the legislature.

Three words:

THANKS FUCKING CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

16 years of the libs and her Cheshire cat smile that made me puke every time she auto corrected her face in public
was more than I could handle. Didn't know whether to laugh myself stupid or hurl an entire dinner at my Television. uke:

Oh yes and let's not forget where it all started, with Gordon "the dickhead" Campbell.

Personally I pity BC right now.I really dont think the Liberals did a bad job.Lots of people yap about funding donations but what is the big deal about it.IMO it is far better than what the Federal Liberals had going which was a vote subsidy paid to all political parties and it came out of the public purse in other words tax payers money was paid to all political parties based on the number of votes they got in an election.That to me is just fucking robbing tax payers.

The one thing I will say is that as far as I know there was not a single Liberal MLA in BC since they have been running the show that got caught with their hand in the cookie jar.The last run of the NDP had 3 leaders who all resigned in disgrace.Hell in the first term under Harcourt the Interior Minister had a 10 mile long 2 lane blacktop road run through crown land to his ranch near Williams Lake so he did not have to drive on dirt/gravel roads and also so he could get in and out quick.....nothing says graft quite like a 10 mile private driveway.

You got it slightly wrong. The Commies are the Liberals not the NDP. The NDP helps social agendas
where the TRUE communists are the ones who take it away from society just like the Libs
did with all the tax increases we have had over the last 16 years.
Especially that stupid carbon footprint tax we all pay on every single litre of gas we purchase
and where does that go?

Right into the general coffers for the COMMIE Liberals to dole out to their business and rich buddies.
And you call the NDP Commies?...............Give your head a shake.

All I can say, is They voted for that shallow self-serving Quitter, so They're getting the representation They deserve !

Christy is the same, as that other Quitter, Stephen Harper !

Different Parties, but, Cut from the same Cloth !

When the going gets Tough, They quit !
No sense of Duty, and Commitment to the People who entrusted Them with their Confidence by Voting for Them ?

Just my 2Cents !

Cheers
