Yesterday afternoon - BC Premier Christy Clark called two by-elections in Port Moody/Chilliwack for Thursday, April 19th
With the official call - all political parties can spend up to $70,000 per riding
Meanwhile - lots of discussion on this topic:
Mike Smyth - read here
Vaughn Palmer - read here
Alan Forseth - read here and here
Finally - Charlie Smith of the Straight is openly musing about an idea that Christy Clark goes into retirement, Kevin Falcon takes over as BC Liberal Leader and the BC Liberals improve their chances of winning in 2013 - read here
As for myself - I think that Port Moody is all but a 'write-off' for the BC Liberals (I believe the NDP will take it) meanwhile Chilliwack is a possibility but it depends on the exact dynamics of the campaign and how severe each party makes a misstep in the campaign and if they can recover...
Stay tuned - the two by-elections will be a wild race to watch and follow and I believe it'll a look into the 2013 Provincial Election
