It's likely true that potential NDP voters stayed home. But that's only partially explained by a cynical election call. Many would have voted if they truly feared a Conservative win. The fact they didn't is credit to Doerkson himself and the Conservative campaign. #bcpoli
I don't get why so many on the left and the right point to ideology being at the heart of the BC results, when the evidence points to "BC NDP made a cynical election call and NDP voters stayed home" as the real factor.

The most consequential event of the 2026 BC Election wasn't in the campaign. It was the moment after Doerkson replaced KLF and some NDP advisor told David Eby, "No problem. We're still good." #bcpoli

Congratulations to our own @Margare7a elected MLA for Vancouver-Yaletown. For over a decade she’s been part of the Resource Works team, making the case for B.C.’s resource economy with clarity and care. We’re sad to see her go and proud of where she’s headed. Go do great things, Margareta! 🙌👏
Not long after starting @Resource_Works, I saw something special in Margareta Dovgal. She joined us and became a leading part of our success as we built a British Columbia and national voice for Canada’s natural resources. A decade later, tonight she’s the new MLA for Vancouver-Yaletown! We’ll miss her terribly. But seeing her dreams come true is a joy. BC is gaining an exceptional talent, and I couldn’t be prouder.

BC Conservatives absolutely crushing it and will likely outperform all polls by a wide margin. Conservatives usually turn out but this time clearly much more motivated than NDP or Green voters. #bcpoli

There are three dominant issues for voters in British Columbia – cost of living/inflation (56%), health care and housing affordability and availability. Secondary issues include jobs and the economy, crime and public safety, US trade and tariff issues. ipsos.com/en-ca/top-issues-b…

Regard is never pluralized in “in regard to” or “with regard to”.
What's the word/grammar hill you are absolutely dying on?

So does this mean the current @nhljets now own the record 30 game winless streak from 1980-81? #nhljets #gojetsgo
The NHL announced that the statistical history of the @NHLJets now will include both iterations of the franchise. The club's history now encompasses their first stint in Winnipeg as well as their years as the Atlanta Thrashers and their seasons in Winnipeg since 2011-12.

If BC Conservatives and CentreBC merge, pushing the rightmost flank to OneBC, it's game on - with NDP possibly underdogs. #bcpoli
