…I really did not expect to see Christy Clark on that list, even if at only 4%. If I’d seen her running as a Con, that would not have surprised me so much. Responsible in BC for legislating striking teachers back to work with the argument that they could not legally bargain on topics like class size, something that much later finally got thrown out by the supreme court. She was a member of the BC Liberals, which were really the right-wing party in BC at the time.
I’d wager both left- and right-leaning people in BC have some bad memories of that one for differing reasons. I certainly have to imagine she’d be a quick way to lose the existing liberal voters here.
