As long as the CPC allows creepy #MapleMAGA incels like Jamil Jivani to remain inside caucus, the party demonstrates it doesn’t GAF about democracy.

Whatever the outcome of this provincial election, it needs to include the end of David Eby’s career in government, because he has the management skills and political acumen of a wet noodle. thetyee.ca/News/2026/09...

While I think Weaver is a has-been crank, I think the best (more accurately, least bad) scenario is a weak NDP minority government with several CentreBC and Green MLAs holding the balance of power. Preferably one where Eby has retired and been replaced by someone competent.
