Kelly Greene

I think it is to a certain extent that she sees that the NDP are vulnerable on their left flank in some ways, given the NDP's move towards supporting natural resource projects, towards supporting LNG.

We saw Richmond-Steveston cabinet minister, Kelly Greene, not run again over her concern about the expansion of Tilbury LNG.

Part of her decision not to run, maybe not the full reason.

But certainly, I think Loen's making the calculation that the NDP are, are vulnerable on some of those things, and also on their record around things like childcare, which was a huge promise in 2017 and 2020 that they haven't fully delivered on, on housing, on things like I mentioned, the community housing fund that they paused that, you know, would have delivered a lot of non-market housing.

Well, the NDP won that for the first time in 2024 by less than 500 votes.

Their incumbent, um, Kelly Greene, is not running, so they don't have, um, an incumbent advantage there.

Yeah.

So that's.

Uh, and if the polls are any indication, uh, his sneaky snap election has backfired entirely, uh, and has mobilized a good chunk of the province against him.

Uh, so we've already seen a number of his cabinet ministers unexpectedly step down and indicate they're not running.

It's four now, isn't it?

Yeah, it's like, uh, rats fleeing a sinking ship.

Now it's, uh, so yesterday to think about climate plans.

But, but the Eby government's had more struggles over this, and we talked about this last time with Kelly Greene leading, uh, leaving the, uh-

Yeah

...

Three BC NDP cabinet ministers, including newly appointed Health Minister Ravi Kahlon, have announced they will not seek reelection in the October twenty-fourth vote.

Agriculture Minister Lana Popham and Emergency Management Minister Kelly Greene also stepped aside.

Kahlon, the MLA for Delta North, said after three election cycles and a decade, it was time to leave.

Greene, who represents Richmond-Steveston, expressed deep concern about risks posed by the Tilbury LNG shipping channel and advocated for better safety standards for a decade.

But I will note that that is not without controversy.

There have been some, even within David Eby's cabinet, who have spoken out against LNG projects, uh, notably, uh, Kelly Greene, who's the emergency, uh, response minister, and she, you know, has, has called out the premier for that one LNG project.

So the NDP will have to explain to the environmental wing of its, uh, base why it's rolling out these-

Hmm

Hmm.

Uh, longtime agriculture minister, Lana Popham, has announced that she won't be seeking reelection.

And just a couple of minutes before we got on here, another cabinet minister, Kelly Greene, whose riding is in Richmond, said that she-

Whoa
