达里尔·迪克 摄 加拿大通讯社 美联社 巴西左翼总统周日连任,但半球内的保守派前一天收到了好消息。加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省选出了98年来首个保守党政府。
Darryl Dyck The Canadian Press Associated Press Brazil’s leftist president was re-elected on Sunday, but hemispheric conservatives got good news the day before. The Canadian province of British Columbia elected a Conservative government for the first time in 98 years.
虽然该省曾由不列颠哥伦比亚社会信用党和(令人困惑的)不列颠哥伦比亚自由党领导的右倾政府执政,但保守党几十年来已沦为小党地位。上一位保守党省长西蒙·弗雷泽·托尔米于1928年至1933年任职。他的政治遗产被大萧条彻底摧毁。
While the province has had right-leaning governments led by the BC Social Credit Party and (confusingly) the BC Liberals, the Conservatives had been reduced to minor-party status for decades. The last Conservative premier, Simon Fraser Tolmie held office from 1928 through 1933. His legacy was torn asunder by the Great Depression.
