Rick, I am reading in your post that you are embracing dictatorship. Harper was borderline dictator by the time he got ousted, and people had had enough of him. Whether Truedau is much worse or not, there is still two and a half to three and a half years to find out. In any case, many times you have to pick the lesser of the evils. In the 2015 election, people wanted Harper out and the NDP did not have enough support to become the new Government. The only option left was the Liberals, and they got elected and given a chance to prove themselves. If they are not up to people's expectations, the vote will no doubt reflect that in the next federal election. The same can and should be applied in BC with the BC NDP.
