BC NDP Premier David Eby vows he will only work with those MLAs who hold "acceptable views"

[blackbird]

"Premier David Eby says he will use his new, diminished, one-seat majority government to reach out to rural British Columbia, an area that largely rejected his party in the election. But, he says, he’ll only be speaking to those he deems hold acceptable views, part of a new “bright-line” that will limit his cooperation."

Premier Eby vows to only work with MLAs who hold acceptable views - Northern Beat

This hard-line leftist attitude foreshadows a very conflicted legislature and likely means not much will be agreed on or accomplished.  Coming in with fists up is a kind of declaration of war.  It does not bode well for the newly-elected government of B.C.  An elected government should be attempting to represent all the citizens of B.C.  That should include the other half of the voters that voted for the opposition party, at least as much as possible.  It should not mean clinging to a radical, woke, progressive agenda that half the people of B.C. reject.

Most of rural B.C. citizens voted for the BC Conservatives.  Premier Eby says he will reach out to these voters.  How about reaching out to the BC Conservative members of the legislature whom these rural voters elected?  It is the MLAs who debate and vote on legislation in the legislature.  The rural voters don't make the laws.  They are not in the legislature.  It is some of the MLAs that Eby says he is not going to speak to because he has black-listed them.  

 So I wonder how that works when he comes out strongly and rejects anything they stand for.  Many Conservatives do not support the NDP's woke agenda on such things as the SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) curriculum in schools.   So is he going to persist in wanting to continue to teach school kids that transgenderism (changing one's sex) is normal?  Is he going to condemn people who oppose the LGBTQ / SOGI agenda or call them names or make other false accusations against people?  Is this the kind of cooperation he has planned?  

What exactly does he mean when he says he is going to reach out to rural B.C. while he claims he is not going to speak to those MLAs he deems hold unacceptable views?

I hope it means conservative crackpots will be laughed off the stage.  No chemtrail investigations, no accommodation for anti-vax authoritarianism nonsense, no listening to people who think climate change is fake news.

That science rules and no trying to put indians back in their place.

OMG he's setting a positive example! How dreadful.

Maybe you'd prefer he appoint The Church Lady as Minister of Education.

Love it. Any dissention is crackpot and science is that which agrees with you. DEI - Discrimination, Exclusion and Indoctrination. Why is the Socialist's understanding and compassionate society always exercised through division and hate?

It's not. That's just your reactionary way of looking at things blowing back in your face - you're simply blaming others for making you feel angry.

Sadly you and NDP's science means a young boy can be a girl.  Some science.  So much for rational progressive thinking.

Don't be ridiculous. Science isn't ideological and neither is biology is what I think.

You're talking to people who think sexual orientation is a major election issue derived solely by political ideology. If you don't loathe gays you're a leftist. If you have the slightest concern about environment you're a leftist. If you got your kids inoculated for MMR and polio you're a leftist. If you think people with a clue about their Ministry should run it, you're a leftist. If you can't prove you have a brainworm you're a leftist.

The fact is is that trying to laugh someone off stage is a quick way to wind up with those people being in charge. The left tried to laugh trump off stage and dismiss him as a crackpot.

You have to respect the voter. The motor said this is who we want. You have to work with him as best you can and announcing right off the bat that you refuse to simply makes you weak and stupid. You paint yourself into a corner for no good reason.

But we can stupid is pretty much what the left is all about. I love that the people that came up with safe supply want to talk about crackpot theories though

he was the only sane choice to vote for in bc in my opinion the cons ran way to far to the right to be a viable option  for centrists.

Well he got almost the same number of seats so "way too far" Might be a bit of an overstatement.

Not running to the far right, more like running back to the centre.

Yes we realize you're so deluded you think your views are centrist.

Like Franco and Pinochet

Unable to grasp the fact that in spite of people like you railing as loud as you possibly could, Rustad lost because he moved his party too far right and too into weird for centrists to support, you're welcome to abide in your dreamworld.

Unable to grasp the fact that in fact rustad won his Riding by a landslide, And took his party from non-existence to practically a tie while running the actual Centris party into the ground. It was a phenomenal showing and I doubt that Evie's government's going to last 4 years

[herbie]

WTF you dumb twat how many times did I post that I LIVE IN HIS RIDING and actually have met and dealt with the guy. His home town has the nicknames of Hooterville and Jesusland as it's so full of Mormons, Mennonites, Evangelicals and is mainly farmers, mill workers and cowboys.
And "I" don't know dick shit about that?
If I handed you a map of BC and told you it was the geographical center of BC you'd probably point to f*cking Abbotsford.

A donkey would win this riding if was the choice between it and a provincial NDP. It's always been Socred/BC Liberal. Rustad's claim to fame is he's the first one to quit his Party before they turfed him themselves.

Nevertheless they lost the election and you're the one who has to come to terms with that.

Awww muffin  -  you big mad?  That's got nothing to do with the point i made. The other people in his riding (you know, the sane ones) re elected him by a massive landslide. 

And your bigoted hatred based rant doesnt' change that.

Maybe you should run then,  sounds like you've got  a shot   

And they GROSSLY exceeded expectations in the election .... so claiming that going to the right made them do 'worse' is kind of stupid. Sounds like they need to do MOAR of that
