Can we expect embattled British Columbia Premier David Eby to post “STOP THE COUNT!” on X when the provincial election results come on Oct. 19?

It would certainly be consistent. On Friday, the NDP took to the courts to accuse Elections BC of violating Charter rights. The alleged violation stems from the fact that the Conservative Party of BC is due to be listed simply as the “Conservative Party” on the provincial ballot. In a court filing, the NDP argued that without a name change, voters might mix up the provincial and federal Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) and write “Pierre Poilievre” on their ballots. Doing so would spoil their votes.
