In regional Politics, Christy Clark lost her own seat and riding when she lost the BC election to end her time as Premiere. If you were in the region at the time, this would not have been surprising given the many issues with her management team -- selling off BCRail for short-term wins on the books was a funny example.

But - thankfully - the MLA for West Kelowna (or, as Boucherie and Westbank people call it, The West Virginia of Kelowna) was just about to announce his retirement, coincidentally right after winning his riding; and Christy was able to take that over, open her carpet bag and get back to populism.

Yeah, Christy Clark was the one that laid of a ton of teachers, and then we had staff shortages that still haven't the recovered, especially with COVID then compounding the overworked teacher problem. We had parents filling in roles of teachers at some schools till they could fill positions at start or school year.
