With more than two years left on his mandate, B.C. Premier John Horgan enjoys the support of nearly half of voters. But bouts with cancer and COVID-19 have clearly left him fatigued
to leave his job as B.C. premier this fallBut it was a shock nonetheless, coming with more than two years left in his mandate and while Mr. Horgan enjoys the support of 48 per cent of voters. That figure was down by seven points over the last quarter, but it still left Mr. Horgan as the third most popular premier in the country.
Mr. Horgan had some of the highest approval ratings among premiers as his government shepherded the province through the COVID-19 pandemic. British Columbia did not face nearly as much of the vitriol and turbulence around COVID-19 restrictions and health measures that other premiers struggled with. With a million British Columbians without a family doctor, with emergency rooms facing hours-long waits and even closings, with public sector workers girded for tough contract negotiations as inflation hits levels not seen in decades, the work of governing British Columbia will be intense and without easy answers.
