A great and very upsetting article. A great and very upsetting illustration.

It's lots of things, but the main thing is, that it got to this point at all. You have a player like Hughes, you do whatever you can to keep him. I honestly would've rather lost him for nothing at the end of next year knowing we did everything we could to keep him.

"a theme that came up repeatedly: support for social housing did not necessarily translate into support for sweeping, citywide upzoning. That concern was taken even further by city councillors"

The turmoil on the BC right is not random. It is what happens when first-past-the-post forces entire movements into one party and punishes voters for choice.
Proportional representation would let parties stand on their own instead of tearing each other apart.
