When the Covid pandemic was declared in March 2020, then-BC Premier John Horgan called me into his office at the provincial legislature. “I’m not going to be running this thing,” he told me, referring to the province’s response to the public health emergency. “You’re not going to see me in front of the television cameras every day.”He insisted instead that figures such as Dr. Bonnie Henry, Health Minister Adrian Dix, and other members of his cabinet would largely be leading the way.

The aftershocks from the political earthquake that was the 2024 BC provincial election are going to be felt for quite some time yet, and they will rumble their way through all three parties with MLAs in the provincial legislature.

We have crossed the half-way point of the election campaign, and both main political parties appear to have landed on what they hope is the ballot box “question” on voting day. For the B.C. NDP, the question is “who would make the best premier?” For the B.C. Conservatives, the question is “is it time for a change?” Both questions play well for each party.

Two groups of potential voters may prove to have a decisive impact on the outcome of the provincial election. One group is the roughly 600,000 people who voted for the federal Liberal party in B.C. in the 2021 election. Presumably most of them voted for the B.C. Liberal Party — remember it? — during provincial elections, and a fair number voted for the NDP.
