Even if very narrowly, it is still a relief that the repulsive Rustad failed.

If i were You, i would be exactly not relieved: After all the difficulties he came very close despite the NDP being not outright unpopular. And next time they will have in power for 11 years... Plus with such an outCome the Cons. & Mr.Rustad are quite stabilized (what could also turn out as a disAdvantage in the long run, though). |

Even if very narrowly, it is still a relief that the repulsive Rustad failed. Definitely. Hopefully the split of BC Liberals who were denied registration split the vote next time. It's also interesting that the Vancouver metropolitan was significantly better for the NDP north of the Fraser river. |

Though against all that, it is far from guaranteed that the right of NDP vote will be as united next time. |

In the long-run, it may be beneficial to the BC Conservatives to have lost this one so narrowly. Had they won (or still win), it will be an extremely narrow win and a fragile majority. Combine that with the raw inexperience of so much of its caucus, and you already spell trouble for re-election. Now, if they have indeed lost narrowly, they spend 4 years sniping a narrow NDP-Green majority, building up experience, building up the financial reserves from the party provincial funds now available, and aim for a comfortable win in 2028.

Yes, also this was meant with "what could also turn out as a disAdvantage in the long run, though". Plus, that "Liberals" getting replaced by "Conservatives" was anyWay not the wisest development in "Canada's California". |

It's also interesting that the Vancouver metropolitan was significantly better for the NDP north of the Fraser river. The split is because the Tories did very well in heavily non-white areas like Surrey. |

The New Brunswick election is being held today. There have been boundary changes since the last few elections, but the number of seats remains the same at 49. Georg's map and target list still use the old boundaries from 2020 so it's not clear how useful they'll be for following tonight's proceedings. |

Very early, but after all the quarrels surprisingly strong numbers for the PC.
