Those in the Sea to Sky riding have a dilemma, albeit a fortunate one. We have to choose one of three pretty likeable candidates to represent us. From the point of view of character any one seems a good choice.
It is not so simple, however, when we look at who will be governing the province. It will not be the Greens, with their unfilled candidature, so strike out one otherwise positive candidate. Our Conservative candidate has unfortunately saddled himself to a leader who rejects anthropomorphic climate change, so does not take advice from science, wants to increase logging and reduce the stumpage fee, and while he claims to not be against vaccinations, still wants to fire Bonnie Henry on Day 1 (the person who most of us see as the civil servant who really led us through the COVID crisis).
This seems very similar to the Republican “2025” policy promoting the replacement of all U.S. civil servants with those who have Republican values; a move toward autocracy; please not in Canada.
So while I could have voted for any of the three individuals in this riding, I am happy to be left with just one.
