Chris Corrigan<p>Conservatives beaten in New Brunswick. Possibly in BC. </p><p>I hope that the populist right is sufficiently bruised and battered by these results. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/bcelection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bcelection</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/nbelection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nbelection</span></a>.</p>

It looks like the NDP and Greens will govern again together. I voted for my local Green in West Vancouver Sea to Sky even though I usually vote NDP. This NDP has drifted into some weird populist territory and we need a thoughtful policy wing to hold them to account. Needing 2 Green votes to pass confidence motions feels like a healthy check on the drift away from progressive policy.</p>

Joe C<p>I'm not entirely sure I understand Elections BC's explanation for why there are 1-2 polls left to report in every riding.</p><p>Are they doing a hand recount to verify the tabulators before releasing the final poll?

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>Overall I would say Rustad was on the defensive the most by far but got some of his main points out. Eby attacked the most, sometimes agreeing with Green leader Furstenau.
