Canada is currently at a cross-roads towards what is likely going to be a huge anti-trans wave coming from out west and down south. Here's how things are going on as 2026 starts coming to a close.
Adding up all the other party votes means the majority of BC voters did not vote for the BCCons. The majority of the province is being governed by a party they did not vote for.
Not exactly an uncommon occurrence either, mind. FPTP is a complete and total farce and calling it democracy is a joke.
“Lost the popular vote” is commonly understood to mean they aren’t the party with the most votes. The conservatives were unarguably the party with the most votes. They won the popular vote.
Im not a fan of this outcome either but don’t try to spin the results by redefining terms.
They just won a supermajority.
Lost the popular vote though so of course BC is now run by a party that the majority of voters don’t want.
They were given multiple chances to drop FPTP and chose not to under NDP.
I wish that were true, but the current count has BC Cons ahead by nearly 200,000 votes. 😢
