Kamloops residents feel mostly safe voting in person during pandemic as B.C. election looms
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops residents are going to the polls in a month, all during a pandemic. Some understand the NDP going for a majority, while others think it’s unnecessary.
Here are some thoughts we gathered:
- “I think this is an inappropriate time to do it. I think we’re busy with COVID. I think there’s a lot of problems going on. I think it’s kind of an easy out for [the NDP]. They figure, ‘Oh well, things are going okay. People will like us.'”
- “I’m not sure it was absolutely necessary, but I can see their point in wanting a majority government so things can be taken care of and passed.”
- “I think it’s probably a wise move on their part because I think they’re riding high in popularity. They’re kind of using Bonnie Henry’s popularity to win this one I think.”
