How are you voting in the upcoming provincial election?
- Thread starter Big Dick Bob
- Start date
I'd vote for an independant.... but we all know the Conservatives will win.
Most polls shows the Conservatives are favoured. Sure polls don't mean that much in the end. But it's telling that there is more than the usual support for Conservatives in BC, than it is traditionally with the NDP.

I wish a Green candidate were on the ballot in my riding, but sadly there is none.
I used to be a Lib but switched to NDP for Horgan after the Christy Clark mess. However, I just can't stand Eby because he is just so out of touch with the everyday British Columbian. It's time for a change... let's hope they deliver.
BC Lib aka BC United does not run any candidates in this election. They flip flopped it a couple times and finally made the decision of not running and instead, they pour their support on the BC Conservatives.
Im voting NDP. I want change but not with Rustad. He is not the guy that will make things better for this province especially when it comes to housing / rent.
Rusrtad, Poilievre, Trump.... NO FUCKING WAY.
The NDP has a stranglehold on the Lower Mainland ridings, but I hope the BC Conservatives give them a giant reality check.
I would love it so
Be patient. Nominations close Saturday at 1 pm, and the Greens have been scrambling hard to get the necessary 75 nomination signatures.
Some of the BC United candidates ended up replacing certain BC Conservative candidates. And some of the disenchanted United candidates are running as disgruntled independent candidates.
Vote in an advance poll. Every once in a while, every vote matters.
Politics in BC have been the craziest over the past 70 years.
Right now you have the BC Conservatives who were the Social Credit that went to Reform, then there was the BC United who were Social Credit that dressed up in Liberal Suits, the BC NDP who are from Bizarro Superworld and lastly the Green Party who are still to green to be a political force. What is the choice? If you want to keep social policies and funding in place hold your nose and vote NDP, if you want big business to crush health, education & culture vote for BC Conservatives. If you do not really care then sit back and don't complain about how life will be for the next few years. Biggest thing I am grateful for is not seeing that waste of space Kevin Falcon opening his mouth anymore.

Funny how the right wing has to change their party name every couple of years to distance themsleves from the previous incarnations

Pleased to vote NDP. Understand they have to address the budget and other issues. Appreciate their focus on the lives of regular people.
I don’t think I’ve ever not voted ndp. I think politics are very personal and we don’t need to vote the same or agree on every topic to be friends. However, some things matter very strongly to me, like affordable housing, health care, dental for low income and seniors. I think a healthy society needs strong social safety nets. Everybody deserves a safe warm place to sleep at night and healthy food to eat. I love vancouver. I’m proud to be Canadian but we’re a mess. And I also know none of it is an easy fix. I just believe ndp cares about the little guy more than other parties.
That’ll teach me for not paying attention. Thank you 🙏 💕
I voted them last time too but the homelessness from mental illness or substance abuse just increased exponentially under their watch. Have you taken a drive down on Hastings/Main lately during the day time? It scares the heck out of you and makes you think they are doing a movie set but sadly not! The overpass by Mt. Lehman Rd, #3 Road...tent city.. and every community now has one. The carbon tax kept going up but where did the money go? Did you know BC eliminated the $2000 subsidy for buying a EV/Hybrid vehicle as of June 1, 2024? Don't get me wrong, every party has its shortfalls but this NDP government under Eby has way too much. I am a small business owner and I am just surviving whereas I used to be doing OK but now I have to worry about my monthly lease. If there are limited income for all, then there will be very limited expense on leisure and that means the ladies on here will also suffer. We need a change and if it doesn't work out, then we vote them out next. But we can't keep on going this way.
As for the fed, Trudeau needs to go! Yes, I voted for him twice in the last 2 elections but I didn't know that he turns Canada into the 51 states of the US! We were an independent country last time I checked! But with the way his government worked and even with the minority one now, he acted in the interests of the US/big corporation and not the normal people on this country. When Covid hit and all the big corps got the subsidies while most small business like me, has to repay every single dime! You just can't trust this government to help you out in very difficult time unless you are Air Canada then you can be non-competitive, no service, in the red every year and still get subsidy to operate!
here's a good one about the NDP
who call the Cons out for the same thing recently
