## Eby's new impersonation
Bc ndp leader david eby is auditioning for another four years as premier by pretending to be a hybrid of former ndp premier glen clark and new york city mayor zohran mamdani.
## Class warrior promises
eby promises steep tax hikes on incomes above one million dollars and price controls on essential groceries and fuel.
## Snap election impact
the snap election transformed from a wipeout into a horse race after eby replaced conservative opposition leader kerry-lynne findlay with lorne doerkson.
## Campaign slogan
the ndp campaign slogan 'build bc strong' is a copy-and-paste edit of prime minister mark carney's 2025 'canada strong' campaign slogan.
## Opposition dynamics
the bc conservative opposition under kerry-lynne findlay was divided and bickering, with findlay filling her office with operators from alberta's separatist republican party.
## Current election race
conservatives are either ahead of or even with the ndp in polls, running on a big-tent platform focused on pocketbook issues and firefighting capabilities.
## Key takeaway

BC NDP leader David Eby is campaigning as a class warrior by promising tax hikes on high incomes and price controls on groceries and fuel.
