The butthurt is truly bizarre with some crowds. It's like the rest of Canada is a wasteland or something to them.

I think part of it is the irrationality at which some of the choices were presented. Smith won so its time to leave was a really stupid narrative. It didn’t change anything from when Kenny was running.
BC increases pay by 50% to match Alberta is not a stupid reason to think people will reconsider their options. Especially when a person with one income at 400k can quite easily afford 10k per month in mortgage costs and a double doctor 20-30. That gets you into 2-4 million dollar homes which are assets rather than sunk costs.
