It’s remarkable that someone directly responsible up until recently for a system so dysfunctional is the presumed front-runner in the NDP leadership race
But he has another distinction that has become increasingly apparent. No one has ever run for party leadership and premiership of B.C. from a cabinet portfolio more fraught with problems.
It turned out to be the most important report card the NDP government has received in the past five years. They “emphatically disagree” with any attempts to downplay the severity by using crime statistics, something Eby tried this spring in the legislature. Overall, they found that B.C.’s criminal justice system — federally mandated and provincially managed — is in big trouble. There are compounding, deep-seated problems and they set up a cascading series on ongoing chronic failures to the point where the word “crisis” loses all meaning.
At the same time he was saddled with ICBC, a perpetual punching bag through the generations. Along the way he led the legal fight against the Trans Mountain pipeline, and the related skirmish with Alberta. Mostly, new leaders from outside cabinet win the job, or opposition leaders take over. Eby isn’t making the move directly. He quit in July. But the lay-off is a brief one.
