B.C. elects a new Premier. What’s next?

British Columbians voted for change in a big way. The Conservatives won 63 seats. The NDP, 28. And the Greens, 2. It's a dramatic outcome for a party that seemed to have come undone at the seams when the NDP's David Eby called the snap election. Now, Eby has resigned as party leader. And Lorne Doerkson is BC's premier-designate. To break it all down, we’ll speak with Katie DeRosa, CBC’s legislative reporter in British Columbia, and Rob Shaw, a political correspondent for Chek News and host of the podcast, Political Capital.
