But they did not deny there was an urgency in finding a way together to prevent vote-splitting that could hand Eby another majority, with Falcon saying, “the real enemy is the NDP government and four more years of that government I think will be, frankly, devastating for the province of British Columbia.”

    BC is in a good state right now we don’t need those clowns running the show privatizing everything they touch. That will then raise prices for everything harming individuals and small businesses.

      I can’t imagine looking at how much we’ve improved since the BCNDP took over and going “This needs to stop immediately. Let’s go back.”

    When a party leader uses the language “enemy” when referring to an opposing leader, they’re not a good choice for government.

    Political parties should not use rhetoric like that, it’s unnecessarily aggressive and can directly lead to violence. Unfortunately we’ve been seeing more and more of it from the right (including the violence part)

      That’s why there must always be full protection for making offensive statements with full freedom for people to go anywhere they choose to go while expressing offensive views. It’s only people who are fueled by hate that attemot to control speech. The harder you try to control, the harder you get it.

      You either allow offensive views in public, or you suffer public rebellion against what you say, that’s how life works.

        We are only intolerant of intolerance.

        “Enemy” is divisive, and would have tanked a candidate almost as bad as flip-flopping. Last-decade seems 10 years ago, though.

    I think will be, frankly, devastating for the province of British Columbia

    As opposed to the damage caused by the conservative policies of the previous BC Liberal government which, to this day, still negatively impacts BC citizens?

    BC is in the best state it has been in a long time and the problems it does face are not unique to it nor are they Eby’s fault.
