What if there’s an election called next year?

[Victoria Watcher]

Then you can adjust at that time. But for now Eby has says there will no no election before 2024.

It makes more sense for lurkers see the right thread title.

[Mike K.]

Sure. I’ve made the change now.

Political pundits are expecting Premier David Eby to appoint new cabinet ministers who have fire in their bellies for the challenging jobs ahead, and the possibility of an early election call.

Lt.-Gov. Janet Austin will swear in Eby’s new cabinet during a ceremony at Government House in Victoria on Wednesday.

While B.C.’s next election is scheduled for the fall of 2024, the new cabinet could set in motion the countdown for an early vote next fall, said Prof. David Black, a political communications expert at Victoria’s Royal Roads University.

“My working theory of the shuffle is tied to what I believe is an election in 2023,” he said in an interview.

“I don’t see the political calculus in waiting for the fall of 2024. If you look at our fiscal situation, which right now is healthy, but next year is not looking very good with growth projections very low.”

You only did half the job. Next election will be the 43rd.

[Nparker]

Remind me again why we (allegedly) have fixed election dates?

We'll make a new thread for the 43rd term, once we get there.

 

Complaints are $8. Let's go.

Looks more like a politician. cold as ice.

A grassroots campaign seeks to use B.C. recall legislation to get rid of NDP Premier David Eby.
The new movement was sparked by the recent passing of Bill 36, Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA), which will drastically change how healthcare is regulated.

“Our first step is to recall the politician that cut the legislative debate short and voted Bill 36 into law,” reads part of the movement's website calling upon citizens to start the process to recall Eby, which, if done successfully, would strip him of his seat in the legislature.

I wish them nothing but good luck, but BC's recall legislation is next to useless.

[dasmo]

It’s super tough. But it’s worked before with the HST!
