B.C. Provincial politics and British Columbians' voting habits during federal elections are often a bit of a mystery to other Canadians. This week the sudden collapse of the BC United Party with leader Kevin Falcon standing beside BC Conservatives leader John Rustad and announcing BCU was suspending its provincial campaign just two months prior to the vote and throwing his support to the Conservatives in order not to split the right-of-center vote. Why? Leaves MLA's for the official opposition BCU in limbo. So, what now on Canada's Pacific Coast?

Should we expect a merger of the federal Liberal and New Democrat parties before the upcoming national election? We ask a former B.C. NDP premier who became federal Minister of Health in the Paul Martin Liberal government for his view of the British Columbia unexpected development and for his thoughts on an announcement of a federal left-wing party comprised of what are now the LPC and NDP.

Guest: Ujjal Dosanh. Fmr British Columbia NDP premier and federal Liberal Minister of Health.
