This is a pretty good summary for those trying to keep track noting that while its current to about 11 pm on Sept 22, by tomorrow its possible that it will all change again.
The BC Conservatives can't even govern themselves. Why would anyone trust them with governing a province? 👇

From election watch to let’s goooooo! I don’t think I have ever heard a sitting premier use the word “fire” this many times in an election, let alone in the framing of the case for an election.

why there is so much speculation about an election call early next week - if Eby goes by Tuesday, election is Sat, Oct 24th, any later and it’s goes to Oct 31st (not ideal), then it’s Nov 7th, etc. If he waited until after the municipal elections Oct 17th, it’s Nov 21st.

Exactly 4 weeks to go until BC municipal elections and what are we talking about on the @beyondaballot Vancouver Votes podcast? The same thing everyone else is: a potential provincial election. Join @segalrs @jodyvance and me on “Election Watch 2026” lolz podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…

Our 1st episode is about….the ballot question! Affordability has been the big issue in every election at every level of government for a decade. But every party (including Ken Sim and ABC) agrees Vancouver is unaffordable. Who they blame for it is the interesting part. #vanpoli

For those wondering, there are 8 candidates who have filed to run for mayor. This is the least number that have run in Vancouver since the 1990 election when four candidates ran. ICYWW Gordon Campbell comfortably beat Jim Green (54% to 45%).

The highest number to run in the modern era was 58 candidates in 1996. Also in case you were wondering, filing doesn’t mean you’re on the ballot. Candidate filings can be challenged until September 15, and candidates can withdraw by September 18.
