Huge reason — probably? — for the big swing of seats in the #BCElection: Absolutely abysmal 48% turnout.
Possibly lowest ever.
This was not a giant wave of enthusiastic change makers. This was more like a very tired and possibly cynical shrug…

@chris Could it be the lowest turnout since Confederation anywhere in Canada?
@EdwinG could be. It’s pretty damn bad.
@StaceyCornelius @EdwinG but could still be the worst in BC history. I’m sure some news org will dig up the stat from Elections BC.
@StaceyCornelius @EdwinG almost like there is a pattern here…
@chris I believe that history will show that western oligarchs have nearly perfected the art of manipulating our information spaces in order to influence election outcomes at arms length.
*Except Elon Musk, who seems perfectly willing to slather it all over face.
