The Conservatives won B.C.

The B.C. Conservatives won the provincial election on October 24, a majority of 64 of 93 seats in the preliminary count. It ends nine years of NDP government and is their first provincial win since 1928 (Reuters).

Technically, the right winning means a focus on capitalism: make money. That should mean energy production. Energy is power, in both senses.

Everything in society is going to need more power: the cars, the robots, the data centers and more. And not only here in Canada. I think our friendly neighbors down south are already short on power. New York buys a lot of power from Ontario (IESO). Hopefully this win means a focus on developing power that we can sell to the US and Asia.

The party promised to double liquefied natural gas production by 2032 and triple it by 2035 (The Narwhal). So that means less red tape for permits to build infrastructure like ports and rail, to build energy and to build mines.

In the long term this should mean lower taxes and more cash moving around, because there is more business. Big money trickles down into the local economies, and that should add jobs.

We have a little tariff battle with our neighbors. Having more power will give us leverage to improve those relationships. US companies should be excited to invest in Canada, and we should all get the money moving and improve the situation here.

Look at Texas. I think you make more money there and buy a house at a cheaper price. Here it is the opposite. Hopefully this brings us in the right direction.

I'm already looking forward to the international business summit the Conservative leader proposed for Vancouver in 2027 (Daily Hive). We'll all go sell B.C. to the rest of the world.
