Take a wary look at British Columbia; a shaky NDP government, supported by three Greens, fiercely hostile to the Trans Mountain pipeline.It’s by no means unthinkable that the Liberals will be reduced to a minority. To stay in power, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would have to rely on backing from the NDP.
A Green wave sounds crazy from any Alberta perch. In the April provincial election, Green candidates got 0.4 per cent of the vote. On April 23, the Greens captured eight seats in the Prince Edward Island election. They now hold the hammer over a minority Progressive Conservative government. Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, after voicing earlier support for B.C.’s big LNG plans, adjusted very quickly.
By 1972, Pierre Trudeau had “whittled away” his own support, in Bratt’s words. He managed to beat the Progressive Conservatives by only two ridings.
That would be my ideal scenario. The conservatives live about 40 years in the past. Half of them don’t believe in science unless it’s science that can help drill oil. If the same science says oil is bad for the world, science is fake. Cons. The party of denialists.
Just hope that Canadiens are not that stupid
Who would back a CPC minority? NDP?
Who exactly is this writer speaking to, here? The BC NDP is more popular now than when they were elected and Horgan is the third most popular premier. Obviously most British Columbians would be fine with the scenario the writer lays out.
Never Conservative!
Now .. that's a nightmare scenario!
You're scaring me. They're would be too much infighting ...Must vote CPC
The greens have no clue. All talk with no transition plan.
sounds pretty okay
