British Columbia Premier David Eby called a snap provincial election on Tuesday, citing the “existential” threat of U.S. President Donald Trump and sending voters to the polls two years early on Oct. 24.
The NDP leader’s decision follows months of disarray within the Official Opposition. The B.C. Conservatives’ embattled leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay resigned over the weekend after the party lost or ousted 13 MLAs since August. And from the chaos, several of the defecting MLAs are organizing a bloc that could further reshape B.C.’s legislature and political landscape.
For our election coverage, the Globe wants to know your questions about the snap vote and B.C.’s shifting political landscape. Why did Eby choose now and what are the NDP’s chances at winning a stronger majority? What is going on with the B.C. Conservatives and the new CentreBC party? And what does this mean for the municipal elections ongoing across the province?
