Now is when we will see if "social license" will get us a pipeline via Trudeau, as that will likely be one of the first targets of a new government

Default Not so fast

I think the Lt. Governor will have to give the party with the most seats a chance to form a government. That's the liberals. Then the opposition has the opportunity to vote no confidence in the government on a money bill. The MLAs may not be as brave as they talk. The public usually wants them all to play nice in the sand box not keep going to the polls.

The greens then would be the ones to defeat the government. You may find some honourable members absent for the vote.

If the government falls and I'm not positive about this, the Lt. Gov. can ask the NDs if they can form a government. If not it is back to the polls.

This is one of the problems with a multi party system.

No pipelines, don't want to ruin the beauty of the coast with windmills, and they're putting a stop to the proposed hydro site C development. BC apparently doesn't need power. Damn, I'm moving there!

"We're going to put the agreement before our caucus and have it ratified, and make it available to the public at that time," Horgan said.
Meanwhile, Christy will discover if any of the NDP Members want to become a Liberal Cabinet Minister.

Yeah, that must be an interesting review.... going through the list of elected members, trying to choose the sleaziest, most bribeable, most "in it for themselves" member... LOL

Here in Alberta it was:

I am curious to see if the feds will actually try and push this.

As a confederation this opens up an interesting dialogue with respect to provincial rights vs federal powers.

Much like his father, I suspect junior will bully the province into submission if required.

We may not like it in Alberta but BC should have the right to control the land within its borders in my opinion. Just as we in Alberta should have the right to control ours.

Trudeau say's he is still backing the pipeline.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tran...sday-1.4137305

It is going to be an interesting summer with the Pipeline construction scheduled to start this fall and I think Trudeau is going to learn that catering to nimby's isn't going to help. I have a feeling that the army is going to need to be brought in to build this pipeline.

Doubt it would be the army, should be the cops, that's their job.

As soon as ONE of the protesters does ANYTHING to affect construction, they should be thrown in jail and if they are non-Canadian protesters, they should be deported and not allowed back in the country.

The FACTS are, BC doesn't need Site "C" now, or for at least 20 years to come !

But the Liberals would like to build Site "C " and tack the financing for Site C on to BC Hydro user's Hydro Bills, sell the Power from Site C to the USA for a discounted rate, and spend the money generated to further their own Liberal Political agenda,

Crusty Clark is lying biatch, and her lies and corruption has caught up with her,

Site C may in fact be doomed...

"While only the Greens said they would cancel Site C, even the NDP’s promise to send the controversial project to the B.C. Utilities Commission for review deals it a new level of uncertainty as the two parties aim to take power."

http://vancouversun.com/news/local-n...ts-in-question

Crispy negated the BCUC review so the project could proceed. It did not pass inspection the last time around, nor will it now...

And you are of course correct about Clark. Best guess is another election within a year (likely less). Crispy & Thomson need not apply...

Cheers,
Nog

Was going to ask about Non confidence, but seems like BC does have it. There by negating the NDP/Green coalition.

VERY Unlikely. It is a favorite target for the new Coalition. I'll be quite surprised should it survive, despite Notley's squawkings to the contrary...

Clark will call parliament at the earliest (June) so that a confidence vote can be held that she expect to lose. It then goes to the the ndp & greens to form government. She has also offered to head the opposition, party willing.

The party would have to be INSANE to keep her on at this point.
That message has been very well delivered.
Punt Thomson at the same time Please & Thanks...

Cheers,
Nog

I am very pleased that something will be done about the corrupt method of funding political parties in BC is going to be stopped. NO MORE big union or corporate political donations!! So all those bribes Kinder Morgan gave to the BC Liberals won't pay off now, Cristy Clarke took $50,000 in cash from that money every year...and they leased her a luxury vehicle...and rented her a big house to live in. NO MORE CORRUPTION from the BC Liberals and their corporate puppet masters. Yes I am please with it, I believe corrupt politicians should go to jail, not get voted back into office.
