Illustrative photo"We came back from that." That was Adrian Dix's verdict on 2001, the year he said the BC NDP suffered the biggest loss in its history, according to Global News BC.
The outlet's Oct. 27 piece asks what is next for the party. Alongside Dix's comments, it quotes a veteran MLA saying the BC NDP must "listen and learn."
Dix's reference to 2001 sets the party's past against its present. For voters in Vancouver and across Metro Vancouver, the answer to the question Global News BC poses will help decide how one of the province's two long-established political forces presents itself to them.
The claim that 2001 was the party's worst result is Dix's own assessment, as relayed in the report. The "listen and learn" line comes from the veteran MLA quoted in the piece, as presented in the Global News BC headline.
