B.C. POLITICS IS HIGHLY STRANGE AND UNUSUAL and never has that been more apparent than right now.

We have an official opposition in a minority situation who is begging the governing party to continue governing.

The machinations are well afoot to see an election call in the days to come.

Parties are nominating candidates furiously, many of whom will have to leave jobs or other serious commitments even to put their names forward.
