Electric cars are now up to nine times cheaper than petrol or diesel ones to drive in Britain, a Carbon Brief analysis calculates. If charged with off-peak power they cost 2.3p a mile, compared to 20.1p for petrol and 21p for diesel.

Well this is quite something. The BC Cons got pretty much the same vote they had in 2024 (900K). It’s the NDP vote that fell this election as supporters weren’t motivated enough to get out to vote.
NDP lost because many NDP stayed home, letting Conservatives overtake them in the vote total. People didn't switch much to Conservative, their vote is similar to last time. NDP ran a horrible campaign. Must give people a reason to vote for your party, vs just why not vote BCCP
You see the “BC Conservatives” win today but it’s just the same right wing crew changing the party name who win throughout the decades as “Social Credit” and “BC Liberals.” It’s the same body in a different suit.
Ralph Goodale on Pete Hoekstra: "He really should remember that his role has changed. He's no longer the Michigan politician. He's a diplomat and an ambassador, and he should behave in a diplomatic fashion that is respectable in the country in which he is located."
David Eby is an idiot.
He had no reason to call an election except pure greed.
He gets to sit& watch now, as a new Canadian era of trade& prosperity gets underway, ports get built, pipelines expand& new Cdn-Asian trade routes get built out of his province...under another premier.
How long until the BC Cons pull this line out so that they have an excuse to cut and to sell off assets:
“The numbers were even worse than we thought. We’re going to have to tighten our belts and make difficult choices.”
