Premier David Eby's approval rating has fallen to a historic low, according to a new Angus Reid poll. Just 31% of British Columbians approve of his performance, while 61% disapprove — the worst numbers of his premiership to date.

The survey also found growing dissatisfaction among former BC NDP voters, with concerns over affordability, health care, and recent Indigenous title issues contributing to the decline. The results raise fresh questions about the government's standing as it approaches the midway point of its mandate.

RUSS: Property rights strangely absent from upcoming local elections

A mayoral or council candidate does not have to promise the moon, or even modest reform. They can still pledge to make noise and badger the higher levels of government to take action.

JÄGER: Not every Canadian only cheers for Canada — and that’s a beautiful thing

Those of us who have found comfort in the warm embrace of this great nation ought to cheer when our men in red take to the pitch — but that needn’t come at the expense of supporting the others that have special places in our hearts.
