The legislature's first week back in session was a sobering look at BC NDP leadership and politics beyond Premier John Horgan.
British Columbians love Premier John Horgan, but they’re pretty ticked off at his government for its lack of action on major issues.
He’s maintained a median approval rate of 54 per cent over the last five and a half years – a remarkable achievement in consistent popularity not seen in this province for perhaps four decades.More than three-quarters of people polled said the BC NDP government is doing a poor, or very poor, job on the three top issues: Healthcare , cost of living and inflation and housing affordability . On homelessness and the overdose crisis, dissatisfaction is as high as 84 per cent.
When Rankin pointed to a small lift in the Crown prosecutor budget, the BC Liberals pointed to a young man in Vancouver stabbed to death by a stranger in a random attack.Horgan largely skipped the week in the legislature. That allowed us all to get a glimpse of this government’s future without its most popular asset. It was sobering.
