Well, I guess there's a chance that the current chaos will benefit the greens, as the only semi-stable alternative to the incumbents, and with the backdrop of Trumpian right-wing politicians lurking in the shadows.

I've a feeling this may be a mis-calculation by Eby. Voters will see this as a blatant opportunistic political move, at a time when we really didn't need an election - it's not about what's best for the electorate/province, but rather the NDP acting like toads. Most economic/well-being stats aren't doing great, so many voters will likely be looking for 'something different'.

It's sorta like choosing a flavour of Ice Cream for dessert. There's one flavour listed that you've had every day for nine years and you generally dislike at this point, and then there are three or four unknown flavours that look/sound pretty sketchy which were added to the menu yesterday (and are "totally not Trump flavoured shit-cream, trust us!"), and one weird green vegan "ice cream" that swears its maybe not terrible. Whatever you choose, you gotta eat every day for the next 4 years. Do you go with your traditional daily disappointment, gamble on something new, or just skip the choice altogether and hope someone else figures it out?

I expect potentially record low voter turn out.

I wonder how many MLAs regret joining the political party of the month club.

I have a feeling the NDP will lose their majority and will enter into an agreement with the Greens. Bad for Eby, good for voters as minority governments are usually the most representative of the actual wants of the people.

Grab the popcorn, this gonna be quite the ride.

Having a provincial election right after the local one is gonna be really confusing for busy voters.

The contempt for leftists from the CBC is so transparent with their blatant misspelling of Emily Lowan’s name as “Emily Loewen” meanwhile they get everyone else’s name impeccably right.

Provincially, voters will be choosing whether to keep the NDP in power after nine years or take the legislature in another direction, choosing from a slate of candidates to the political right.

Totally ignores the other leftist parties.
