With a provincial election that left the BC NDP in government by a small margin, there’s no doubt that 2024 signalled a clear shift to the far-right with the expressed support of extreme candidates with extreme positions.

It's disheartening to see these folks with extremist views and conspiratorial beliefs make it into government. I can understand some people being frustrated with the NDP government, but to vote this extremist seems like a knee-jerk overreaction. Honestly, we need proportional representation to avoid this kind of polarization before it results in even more extremist folks making it into office.
