If it finishes 43-43-1 does the single Green Party member basically consider it winning the election?

Do any of the high profile NDP candidates actually believe anti Science poo poo? I didn't vote for them and wouldn't but I can't seem to find any evidence of that.

If that happens, Andrew Weaver a) gets to decide the premier and b) promised to retire in shame for not winning a second seat, so who the hell knows.


edit: Oh, is the 1 seat not Weaver's? Well, it'd be Liberal darkness until the next byelection... that'll be a pretty interesting byelection.

43-42-2 :eng101:

No loving way Andrew Weaver loses his seat. In that case, it's a matter of whether or not the Greens are gonna be egotistical enough to not form a coalition with the NDP and condemn BC to another 4 years of Liberal Darkness.

:geno: Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

As an Albertan who has been paying zero attention to this election until right now, is the BC Green party as crazy as every other Canadian Green party? Their platform looks pretty solid, but the thread seems real down on them so I'm guessing there's been no shortage of candidates saying crazy things to reporters?

The story I'm interested in is why it took Oak Bay until just this instant to post results. I haven't lived on the island for a little over a year now, but they still had electricity when I left.

Most of the crazy stuff has been, like, the MLK incident or calling their leader the Canadian Barack Obama. The media doesn't want to question their policies so the cancer wifi stuff stayed in the background this time (although it would be hilarious if that's what they used their minority powerbroker status to address).

They're not as publicly crazy as the federal greens and are basically neocons here.

They'll side with the Liberals because John Horgan was mean to Andrew Weaver. (They literally said this.)

It's because the Canadian political culture is entirely based on housing equity and US bandwagoning.

Some things I can see them siding with the NDP, like housing. Other than that Weaver doesn't like Horgan because of cyber bullying or something idk

Sort of. She's still "renting" a house from a donor. I'd have to dig up the proof, but I think she didn't even change her address and had to vote in her old riding.

If the seats are tied, do the Liberals get the first chance to form government as the incumbent or is it up to the Lieutenant Governor?
