The election “set some battle lines that I think are going to be hard for the B.C. government”, he said. “I always believe in third party validation”.

Ford said he’d already spoken to Prime Minister Trudeau to discuss standing “united” against President Donald Trump and the tariffs that have been imposed on steel and aluminum.

Tanya Granic Allen commented on the Progressive Conservative win in a tweet posted June 7, 2018.

“I’m concerned that our turn out percentage won’t be as dramatic as we would like to see”, she said.
