He's the most popular premier in the country (according to polls) for a reason: The NDP leader looks comfortable in the job running the province; he can be partisan without seeming nasty; and he knows how to deploy a dad jokeor Instagram emoji like someone half his age. Add in a COVID-19 communications approach where he let experts take the spotlig...
Her name was barely uttered during the campaign, but make no mistake: the fact B.C.'s pandemic response had been internationally lauded for months in the summer made a difference. Henry is apolitical (in fact, she was appointed deputy health officer by the B.C. Liberals), but months of daily briefings standing next to Health Minister Adrian Dix cer...
Yes, despite John Horgan's protestations that "it's never a bad time to ask British Columbians what they want," there was crass politics involved in declaring an election a year ahead of schedule. NDP brass knew people would be annoyed at a sudden unscheduled election. But they also believed that annoyance would dissipate once voters were forced to...
There was an added benefit to calling an election when the NDP did: It was just one week after Sonia Furstenau was named leader of the B.C. Green Party. It left the Greens scrambling to quickly recruit a full team of candidates (which they ultimately failed to do), and prevented Furstenau from having time to establish herself to voters before the c...
The NDP came into the campaign with the advantage of being up in the polls, and they did little to risk that. It was a low-risk campaign, with few dramatic policy promises and an endless parade of media events where Horgan repeated points in the NDP platform. Was it exciting? Certainly not. It didn't need to be, however, and other than a couple of ...
A big reason for this was a party that could honestly say it had delivered voters what they promised. A CBC News analysis showed the NDP completed 79 per cent of its promises from the 2017 campaign, from raising welfare and disability rates to putting in speculation and vacancy taxes. It kept most of the party base satisfied. And it allowed most no...
After multiple resignations by NDP premiers and cabinet ministers and controversies with catchy names in the 1990s — remember FastCats or Fudge-it Budget, anyone? — the B.C. Liberals spent election after election while in power warning of embarrassment if the New Democrats took over. But over the course of 3½ years, Horgan's government oversaw the ...
Ultimately, so did the mostly pragmatic path Horgan's government took. Yes, there were a lot of new taxes on businesses and the wealthy — but the party mostly tweaked the way B.C. was run under the Liberals from 2001 to 2017. It wasn't a complete overhaul. It meant there was some disappointment among its most diehard supporters, who wanted bolder a...
The laws the NDP passed banning corporate and union donations meant the Liberals' multi-million dollar advantage in previous elections didn't happen— and in an election where people's focus was undoubtedly split between politics and the pandemic, it made it harder for the NDP to be targeted to the same extent as prior campaigns.
The NDP's historically large win puts an exclamation mark on what's been shifting in British Columbia politics for most of this century. For all the historical stereotypes of B.C. being the land of protests and progressivism, in the second half of the 20th century the province tended to elect centre-right premiers; Vancouver tended to elect centre-...
