David Eby is asking Green voters to support the NDP to help defeat the Conservatives. ([timescolonist.com](https://www.timescolonist.com/2026-bc-votes/eby-asking-green-voters-to-support-bc-ndp-to-defeat-conservatives-12908714?utm_source=chatgpt.com)⁠)

So here’s a hypothetical: what if the NDP stepped aside and fully endorsed the Greens instead?

If preventing a Conservative government is the overriding priority, would Eby have the guts to make that sacrifice himself? Why should Green voters be the ones expected to compromise?

I understand that votes wouldn’t automatically transfer between parties. But would NDP supporters accept the same strategic-voting argument if it meant voting Green? Or does cooperation only count when everyone gets behind the NDP?

Please ask around, I'm sure you voted, but why do others not vote? Why did others in your household who were eligible to vote, decide not to vote?

(bc provincial) and if no - then the conservatives will probably win if we split the vote right? what are the chances that the conservatives only get a minority and is that a good thing? green seats are still good yes? just trying to weigh my options here.

Can someone tell me why I'm wrong here - I think lots of people who don't have time might need to hear it if I'm wrong, as Emily's plans sound great, I suspect that it's the same as usual with the Green Party.

This is my general stereotype from what I understand of the green party, and their current platform in BC:

They have some feel good plan that sounds great "FIGHT THE OGLIGARCHS, FIGHT BACK CLIMATE CRISIS" but the plan is always so half baked and never gets enough confidence from voters, because it's really just some fantasy plan that doesn't make sense in the real world.

I don't have enough time to do research, so I'm hoping people who have had the time to learn this platform of her's, can educate me.

Personally, from the top of my mind, this is where I would start with a plan like this in my ideal low politically educated mind:

It has to be a multi-faceted approach that taxes businesses with land and property, and can be measured by PST/GST amounts - by sales. In doing this, businesses that need tax breaks who aren't making as much sales, get their breaks and others such as large chain stores, large conglomerates, get taxed appropriately. If the chain stores leave, then it balances out and brings more opportunity back to the smaller businesses trying to succeed.

That's just the earnings approach for taxable sales, and one area of business. This is where the other areas need their own systems, which is the multi-faceted approach.

For companies that just hold "net worth" taxing them just for holding networth here doesn't make any sense. This is where they just move it all around with fancy accountants/investors. It has to be more creative than this and federally unified, and ideally would be a multi-faceted plan with the EU.

The article they made on this matter, didn't really have any information that was foundational or structural to their actual plan here from what I found, just "nice to haves":

Canadian trade tribunal has rescinded anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese panels and laminates that had stood since 2021.

Canada Border Services Agency confirmed it will stop collecting the duties on the affected goods with immediate effect.

Surprised that there has not been a single post on the 2026 British Columbia snap provincial election on this sub (u/thomasreimer has been posting on r/greenpartybc though)

Emily Lowan will get to test herself as the BC Greens leader. She may have a good chance at taking Saanich North and the Islands, as it is a current Green seat (Rob Botterell is retiring).

But, after that recent Angis Reid poll showing the BC Conservatives taking a big lead over Eby's NDP, the Greens have been targeted for 'splitting' the left.

This is a clearly outrageous charge. Perhaps, David Eby is more than happy to allow these attacks after Greens left the cooperation agreement in February, but given the Tory lead, he is simply shooting his foot more than he has already did by calling this pointless election.

The much braver thing would be for him and the NDP to commit to proportional representation.

For now, though, it would be wiser for progressives to unite to stop the Tories.

Any ideaa? Any rumours out there?

Hello! We're a group of local Green Party members (we do both provincial and federal stuff as one combined group). Right now we have a project on the go where because the Green Party of Canada is in a leadership race, we printed flyers about it and we're delivering them to peoples' mailboxes between now and Oct 14th. The flyers talk about the leadership race and ask people to sign up as a member before Oct 14th in order to vote. Right now Mike Morrice is the only candidate, so it's a vote about whether they approve of Mike as leader.

We'd love some more help. We have them printed, we know where to deliver (areas like Bathurst and St. Clair, Yonge and Eglinton), and we have shifts planned where volunteers can get live help from us. To be clear, this project has a tight timeline so while we normally like to knock on doors and talk to people, we're not doing that for this. We're just dropping the flyers in mailboxes as quickly as possible.

We have shifts available weekday evenings and afternoons/early evenings on weekends.

If you'd like to join us, please send me a chat message here. We've enabled chat on this Reddit account. We can get you in touch with the team.

Thanks!

Here’s what comes next for the Leadership Race

The Green Party of Canada’s 2026 Leadership Race is moving forward.

The Leadership Race will continue on the timeline that was established by the Leadership Contest Commission, with voting opening on November 2 and closing on November 13. Results will be announced on November 14.

Over the coming weeks, the debates that were planned will become town hall meetings. These events will give members and supporters the opportunity to hear directly from Mike Morrice, ask questions and learn more about his vision for the future of the Green Party of Canada.

And most importantly, members will still have the final say.

Under the Green Party of Canada’s constitution, elections for Federal Council positions, including the position of Leader, require a majority vote to elect and must include “None of these options” on the ballot. That means a new leader cannot be elected by acclamation.

The ballot members receive in November will include Mike Morrice and “None of these options,” This reflects one of the core values of our party: participatory democracy. The constitutional right of Green Party members to exercise their choice cannot be taken away.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we have worked through the legalities and realities of this unusual situation. 

Soon, we will share details about upcoming town halls in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, as well as other exciting events across the country where you can meet and hear from Mike Morrice.

With gratitude,
The Leadership Contest Commission

The Green Party of Canada’s Leadership Contest Commission and Federal Council are currently working to determine next steps and ensure that the conclusion of the 2026 GPC Leadership Race meets our party’s constitutional requirements.

We will provide more information to our members and supporters as soon as it is available.

Sincerely, The Leadership Contest Commission
