Assuming it ends up 42-42 I assume LIB can also claim, in addition to being the incumbent party, that they won the popular vote so they should have first shot at government formation.
Popular vote has nothing to do with it. The incumbent party gets first shot.

Regardless, the Libs increased their lead in Coquitlam. With only four polls remaining, I can't see the NDP coming back.

NDP lead in Vancouver-False Creek is down to less than 50 votes.

Maple Ridge-Mission and Courtenay-Comax are probably the safest non-called NDP seats, both with a 100+ vote lead.

The Cons definitely are playing spoiler in Maple Ridge-Mission, too. 757 useless votes for the BC Conservatives there, with the Liberals trailing by 150.

I assume that if it ends up being a minority government of some sort that we should be seeing a mid-term election soon ?
Yes. The NDP and Greens could ally to force an early election at an inconvenient time for the Liberals, or the Liberals could call an early one at an inconvenient time for the other two.

The latest poll report from Coquitlam saw the Liberal lead move up a smidge. Two polls left.

The Liberal candidate is surging in Courtenay. Less than 30 vote lead for the NDP there, when it was over 300 just a few minutes ago.

Liberal just took an 86-vote lead in Courtenay.

The Liberals will form government. There's a chance they'll even get a majority.

Does Horgan resign after this? This was a winnable election that they lost.

The Liberals just took a huge lead in False Creek. They have a majority.

Maple Ridge-Mission now looking extremely vulnerable for the NDP...less than a 40 vote lead there with three polls still out.

Maple Ridge-Mission finally called for the NDP. It's down to Courtenay and False Creek.

The Conservative vote royally screwed the BC Liberals in Courtenay.

Wow. Crazy. I imagine the Liberals will agitate for a recount.

No idea why they already called Richmond-Queensborough, Libs ahead by 170 votes and there's still 11 polls left.
Mayne the NDP-heavy areas already voted and the rest of the riding is heavy Liberal?

The CBC hasn't called that one.
Huh. Global News and the Vancouver Sun both have.

40 votes separate the Lib and Dip now. They might do it.

BCNDP's vote percentage only went up by 0.15%. Whatever they gained from the Liberals they lost an equal amount to the Greens.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the first time the Greens have been part of a government in Canadian history.

Clark should really step down; she's woefully unpopular and just lost an evidently winnable election. Not to mention she's about to experience the humiliation of having a throne speech voted down.

So who are the likely candidates to replace Clark as leader?
