The update comes on the heels of NDP Leader David Eby saying Doerkson is “going into hiding” during the final days of the campaign—holding pricey private fundraisers instead of opening himself up to questions from the media.

“Never interrupt your opponent when he’s making a mistake”, as the advice goes, and David Eby has done nothing but make mistakes. As a trans person, I’m so furious at him for calling this cynical power-grab election which even at the outset carried a significant chance of the NDP losing.

I desperately hope for an NDP minority government propped up by several Green MLAs and for David Eby to lose his own seat. But it doesn’t look likely. Le sigh.
