The unnecessary and unwanted snap election which the premier has forced on us is not about his governmentB次元官网网址檚 stability, or about B次元官网网址減utting politics behind us,B次元官网网址� or requiring a majority in the House to pass important legislation, or any of the other transparent fabrications he has produced so far.

ItB次元官网网址檚 not even a naked power grab, as many have supposed.

There is exactly one reason why John Horgan called an election now: HeB次元官网网址檚 terrified of facing the citizens of British Columbia later this fall and telling us that either: the geotechnical problems that have surfaced at Site C are insurmountable, and we have to pull the plug; or Site C is salvageable, but itB次元官网网址檚 going to cost many billions more than anticipated.

Perhaps Horgan already knows which of these is correct, and the appointment of Peter Milburn as B次元官网网址渟pecial advisorB次元官网网址� is just a smokescreen to buy time while he tries to steal an election. It doesnB次元官网网址檛 really matter. Either way, he has known for months that he is going to be the bearer of extremely bad news about Site C.

He also knows that his only hope for surviving the ensuing political firestorm is to win a majority before he delivers the bad news. Hence an election in the middle of a pandemic, and his lame reasons for calling it.

The B次元官网网址淗onourableB次元官网网址� John Horgan? In name only.

IB次元官网网址檝e been a steadfast supporter of the NDP my entire life. They wonB次元官网网址檛 be getting my vote this time around.
