Yeah, I think stingray and others underestimate how much anger will be directed at the Christy and the BC "Liberals" over the housing issue. They had a chance to show leadership on the issue with the recent budget and blew it. They chose to keep reeling in the PPT revenue and not help ordinary British Columbians. Christy Clarke strikes me as a deeply shallow person, does anyone really know what she believes in, other than getting re-elected?
The only saving grace they might have is that John Horgan is no Justin Trudeau. Unless he runs a flawless campaign it will be an uphill battle. As to the Greens, the BC Libs love to talk them up, hoping it weakens the NDP but they forget that if the Greens gather steam they could just as easily steal soft BC Lib support, those who dislike Clark.
