David Eby wanted British Columbians to vote against Donald Trump on Saturday. They seem more interested in passing judgment on David Eby.
The premier made the American president central to his justification for calling an election two years early. His campaign launched with a promise to protect British Columbians against Trump’s attacks. Eby’s essential argument was that an external threat required voters to renew his government’s mandate.

Quebecers’ rights are under attack. Why aren’t we more worried?
We’re living in challenging, anxiety-inducing times. Cost-of-living issues, homelessness, healthcare shortages, housing affordability, child-care access, a struggling education system and a shortage of qualified teachers, Trump’s tariffs and their effects on Quebec’s economy, a possible third referendum. These are some of the hot-button issues keeping Quebecers up right now. With the world a bit of a chaotic mess, urgent, bread-and-butter concerns have been prioritized. Given what’s at stake, I can’t even fault Quebecers for not noticing that our individual and collective rights have really taken a beating lately. Most people are just laser-focused on making ends meet. In the meantime, inequalities deepen, social services weaken and food-bank lines grow longer, while those in power — completely failing to address these long-standing systemic issues — point the finger away from themselves. Tent cities don’t just materialize out of thin air.
Charts of the week: Conservative faith in fair vote counts drops to 37 percent
Trust, as the old line goes, is hard to earn and easy to lose. Among Conservative voters, it has been draining fast: confidence that votes are counted fairly has slid from 61 to 37 percent, and since 2021 distrust of the media has fused with Conservative voting into something close to a single identity. Westward, the separation question may be settled on paper, but the grievances are not—Alberta’s secession vote maps almost perfectly onto the 2021 equalization referendum, and the transfers driving that resentment are nearly impossible to avoid. Then there’s the tax mix, where Canada leans on consumption taxes far less than its OECD peers. Read on below to find the key facts and figures that sparked the interest of our data journalists this week. Thirty-seven percent of Conservative voters now express confidence that votes are counted fairly, down from 61 percent just four years earlier. Hub contributor Edward Ngai argues the partisan trust gap is not contained to the CBC or even the media but shows up across many institutions, as the Environics Institute has tracked over 15 years.
