'The province in general appears in for a rough ride until the next premier takes the reins.'
Premier John Horgan reconvened the legislature for his final session Monday, in what New Democrats were hoping would be a six-week retirement tour filled with glowing tributes, but is shaping up to be more like a public drubbing over his government’s inaction on several crises.
The answer represents a political conundrum for New Democrats. They either start pulling emergency manoeuvres now, and bind the hands of the next premier with policies that person might not support, or they stand in place as a lame-duck government and take punches for the next two months while the province sinks deeper into crises.“I’m probably not going to spend a lot of time on the premier frankly,” BC Liberal leader Kevin Falcon said in an interview.
“I will be reminding the public that after five years of NDP housing policy, B.C. has the highest housing prices in North America. After five years of the NDP government, we have the highest fuel prices in North America. After five years of David Eby as the minister responsible for crime, we have worse crime in virtually every community across British Columbia.”
The NDP insists it has plenty of work to do, and that this fall session was not just a pretence for the Horgan government to get its official portrait taken in the chamber before he departs.
