I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I know the terrible feeling of sitting in the hospital as a loved one dies, it's especially difficult if it's before their time. They are lucky to have you beside them.
I think at the end of the day I will end up voting NDP but definitely not with the same enthusiasm I did before. Housing is the biggest crisis facing this province in my opinion. Nowhere is affordable anymore and it's going to be a huge economic problem within 5-10 years as younger generations leave.
Having said that, there are other issues on the table and at this point I would vote for anyone who has the best chance of defeating Christie Clark and I think that party is the NDP. The Greens are splitting the vote and the best thing the Liberals have going for them. No wonder they took out a full page ad last election in the Vancouver Island newspaper promoting the Greens.
I am going to vote this weekend too before I get a chance to second guess myself. At least I really like the NDP candidate in my riding.
