Weaver came across throughout the election as reasonable and competent - not qualities one usually associates with the Greens. I voted for them because of this. Horgan benefited from public distaste for CC but is clearly a throw back to an earlier, unpalatable, form of the NDP. He did not articulate how he would pay for his promises and history was an insurmountable burden. Weaver meanwhile is right to be sceptical of Horgan's temperament and one doubts this result will have improved it if the Greens side with the Liberals. I would be content with a Liberal minority if this outcome holds. Weaver and his 2 musketeers can have the environment ministry, the Speaker's chair or some other sinecure. The Liberals will be justly held to account for some of their more egregious political transactions while being allowed to get on with running the economy. The NDP can find hope in this outcome while they sit in the legislature, grinding their teeth and waiting in vain for their next chance.
