With just a few weeks to go before the writ drop, the next election in British Columbia was thrown on its head Wednesday when Kevin Falcon announced he was withdrawing B.C. United from the race — and endorsing John Rustad’s B.C. Conservatives. What does this mean for the NDP and Premier David Eby’s chances of re-election, as well as for the future of the once formidable, now former, B.C. Liberals?The news broke just after <a target="_blank" href="https://globalnews.ca/author/richard-zussman/">Richard Zussman</a> of Global News and I had recorded an episode about the state of B.C. politics on Wednesday morning. Once it emerged that everything had changed, we had to get together again to re-record. And with B.C. political news breaking so fast, I couldn’t wait until the usual Friday to put this episode up in your feeds. THE NUMBERS: On this week’s episode of The Numbers podcast, which will be available for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.patreon.com/thenumberspod">Patreon members on Thursday here</a>, Philippe and I will break down the implications of this move on B.C. politics.
