There will be voter backlash against Horgan calling an election during a pandemic in order to capitalize on his polling numbers and obviate any potential for a lower electoral performance next year. I am for one, turned off with his decision as an NDP supporter. It's a self-interested power grab during a time where people lost their jobs, struggling with physical and mental issues, and realigning their schedules to stay afloat and maintain household balance. It's almost Trump-like to call an election early for self-interest pursuits.

Horgan suggesting Covid 19 is hear to stay until next year, so let's have the election now, is farcical. There is a lot that can change between now and then (vaccines, etc.), so that's not a valid reason. As well, it just fuels conspiracies that the government is using Covid to shape politics and societies and that nothing will change between now and then. Lastly, with Dr. Henry inculcating others to be mindful about preventing the spreading of Covid 19, that seems to no longer be important anymore when an election is called and requires people's participation to some degree in the public domain.
