大卫·比的提前大选赌注或许已扭转了卑诗省新民主党的命运，至少根据一项民意调查显示如此。
New poll shows two-thirds not in favour of early election in B.C.
安格斯·里德研究所的最新数据显示，由罗恩·多克森领导的卑诗省保守党在受访者中获得43%的支持率——领先新民主党的35%达八个百分点。
New poll shows the NDP's early election gamble may have backfired — at least to start David Eby's early election gamble may have reversed the B.C. NDP’s fortunes, at least according to one opinion poll.
这与上周凯里·林恩·芬德利辞职前、执政的新民主党对官方反对党保持的四个百分点领先优势形成鲜明对比。
New data from the Angus Reid Institute shows the B.C. Conservatives, led by Lorne Doerkson, holding 43 per cent support among respondents — an eight-point lead over the NDP's 35 per cent.
安格斯·里德研究所主席莎奇·库尔表示：“民众对该政府有很多不满，现在又觉得‘凭什么你们要去投票’。”
It’s a change from the four point lead the governing New Democrats had over the Official Opposition before Kerry Lynne Findlay resigned last week.
三分之二的受访者——包括一半的新民主党选民——认为比将自身利益置于卑诗省民利益之上。
"There’s a lot of unhappiness with this government and now there’s some, 'How dare you go to the polls,'" said Shachi Kurl, Angus Reid Institute president.
比的提前大选赌注会在卑诗省奏效还是适得其反？历史告诉我们什么 前新民主党内阁部长、2022年曾在比的领导团队任职的陈嘉娜表示，比决定宣布大选是“冒险”的。她说，比“仍有大量工作要做”，以向卑诗省民证明其政府的政策是以民为本。
Two-thirds of those polled — including half of the NDP voters — say Eby is putting his own interests ahead of the interests of British Columbians. Katrina Chen, a former NDP cabinet minister who was on Eby’s leadership team in 2022, says Eby’s decision to call a snap election is "risky." He "still has lot of work to do" to prove to British Columbians that his government’s policies are putting people first, Chen said.
她说：“人们正在密切关注、静观其变，看比将如何证明自己在投资于民，这利于我们的经济。不能只盯着贸易战。”
"People are really watching and waiting to see how Eby is going to prove himself that he is investing in people, which is good for our economy. It's not just focusing on the trade war alone," she said.
自卑诗省提前大选宣布以来发生了很多事。以下是简要回顾 本周，四位新民主党内阁部长宣布不寻求连任。
"People are really watching and waiting to see how Eby is going to prove himself that he is investing in people, which is good for our economy. It's not just focusing on the trade war alone," she said.
他们分别是：长期被视为卑诗省新民主党领袖有力竞争者、曾掌管住房、就业和卫生等部门的拉维·卡尔洪；因今夏确诊癌症而卸任财政部长的布伦达·贝利；五度当选议员、曾任农业部长的拉娜·波帕姆；以及曾任应急管理部长的凯利·格林。
This week, four NDP cabinet ministers announced they’re not seeking re-election. They include: Ravi Kahlon, who has been in charge of the housing, jobs and health portfolios and has long been considered a B.C. NDP leadership contender; Brenda Bailey, who stepped back as finance minister after a cancer diagnosis this summer; Lana Popham, a five-term MLA who has served as agriculture minister; and Kelly Greene, who served as the emergency management minister.
格林一直批评新民主党政府批准德尔塔蒂尔伯里液化天然气设施扩建的决定。
They include: Ravi Kahlon, who has been in charge of the housing, jobs and health portfolios and has long been considered a B.C. NDP leadership contender; Brenda Bailey, who stepped back as finance minister after a cancer diagnosis this summer; Lana Popham, a five-term MLA who has served as agriculture minister; and Kelly Greene, who served as the emergency management minister.
陈表示，这些省议员的离去“肯定会产生影响”。“考虑到这次大选提前了两年，确实让许多现任政客、现任议员处于非常艰难的境地，他们在考虑：‘我要不要再干一次？我的选区面临很多挑战。’民众可能对这届政府不满，”她说。
Greene has been critical of the NDP government’s decision to give the green light to the expansion of the Tilbury LNG facility in Delta. Chen says the loss of those MLAs is "definitely going to make an impact." "This election, given it's two years early, does put a lot of current politicians, incumbents into a very tough position in terms of: 'Do I do this again, my riding is facing a lot of challenges.’ People may not be happy with this government," she said.
不列颠哥伦比亚省的突击大选有五个政党参选。它们各自有何不同？
Chen says the loss of those MLAs is "definitely going to make an impact." "This election, given it's two years early, does put a lot of current politicians, incumbents into a very tough position in terms of: 'Do I do this again, my riding is facing a lot of challenges.’ People may not be happy with this government," she said.
9月23日 时长 在枫树岭的一次竞选活动中，尹大卫再次将美国总统特朗普的关税作为焦点，他承诺为不列颠哥伦比亚省和加拿大的建筑材料在公共基础设施项目中设定最低使用要求。
During a campaign stop in Maple Ridge, Eby again made U.S. Donald Trump’s tariffs the focus, as he laid out his pledge to set minimum requirements for B.C. and Canadian building materials in public infrastructure projects.
他表示，如果连任，将确保用于建设通往鲁珀特王子港的北海岸输电线第一阶段的钢材中有70%为加拿大产。
He said if re-elected, he would ensure that 70 per cent of the steel used to build the first phase of the North Coast Transmission Line to Prince Rupert will be Canadian.
多克森表示，新民主党政府有九年时间让不列颠哥伦比亚省的经济足够强大，以抵御来自南方边境的威胁。他称最新的承诺不过是竞选口号。
Doerkson says the NDP government had nine years to make B.C.'s economy strong enough to withstand threats from south of the border. He called the latest promises nothing but election slogans.
周四在回答记者提问时，尹大卫为之前的一篇演讲辩护，该演讲将特朗普比作必须用“防火隔离带”阻止的狂暴山火。尹大卫表示，这是一个恰当的比喻，形容不列颠哥伦比亚省人团结一致、在严重威胁面前互相支持。
During questions from reporters on Thursday, Eby defended an earlier speech that compared Trump to a raging wildfire that must be stopped with a "firebreak." Eby said it’s an apt analogy for British Columbians coming together and supporting their neighbours in the face of a serious threat.
“依我之见，这就是不列颠哥伦比亚省精神的典范，”他说，并指出消防员们跨省前往最需要帮助的地方。
"It is the example, in my opinion, of the spirit of British Columbia," he said, pointing to firefighters travelling between provinces to where help was needed most.
“我永远不会为挺身维护不列颠哥伦比亚省人、呼吁他们面对这种威胁团结一致而道歉。” 尹大卫宣布不列颠哥伦比亚省举行突击省选。
"I will never apologize for standing up for British Columbians and calling on them to stand together in the face of a threat like this." Doerkson said on Tuesday that Eby's comment was a "shocking" metaphor, particularly to any British Columbians who have fled a wildfire.
多克森周二表示，尹大卫的言论是一个“令人震惊”的隐喻，特别是对任何逃离过山火的不列颠哥伦比亚省人来说。
"I will never apologize for standing up for British Columbians and calling on them to stand together in the face of a threat like this." Doerkson said on Tuesday that Eby's comment was a "shocking" metaphor, particularly to any British Columbians who have fled a wildfire.
他呼吁尹大卫“向因本省火灾而深受其害的不列颠哥伦比亚省民道歉。”
He called on Eby to "apologize to British Columbians who have been so rawly affected by fires in this province."
