People have pegged him as the BC NDP’s next leader for almost a decade, virtually since he switched into politics in 2013 from his previous career as a civil rights lawyer in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
It’s 7:30 a.m. at the Eby house, and three-year-old Iva is running around the kitchen with reckless abandon, circling the counter in a tiny blur, her hands in the air, a tiara on her head, shouting: “I have energy!”
“It’s very important to keep that part as compartmentalized as possible,” says Eby, who keeps all his work material in a banker’s box under a nook off the kitchen. It was his wife, a 38-year-old family doctor and Star Wars fan, who stole a line from wise Master Yoda and pushed Eby to refocus on the ambitious apex of his political career.
“The one constant in our relationship has been change,” he says. “In both of our careers it's been really positive for us.”“As their family, we’ve given up underestimating what they are capable of as a couple because there have been many instances over the years where I’ve heard about their upcoming plans and thought to myself: That’s crazy,” says Angus Lynch, Cailey’s brother.
As the two sit at the family’s kitchen table, with the kids in bed, talking about the future, this is very much a desired outcome. “I find it quite laughable that he’s going to be Mr. Fix-It to something that he’s been overseeing for five years, since day one for the NDP,” says BC Liberal leader Kevin Falcon. “He’s watched crime spiral out of control under his direct control.”
“I will be a tough Opposition leader, and be very tough on holding him to account for his record,” says Falcon. “But I don’t need to make it personal at all. I don’t think that’s necessary.”According to polls, Horgan was the most consistently liked B.C. premier in at least five decades. Even his occasional dumb statements or verbal gaffes seemed to generate voter endearment. His personal brand carried the BC NDP.
Premier Eby A lot of Eby’s home life runs contrary to the public image of him as a tightly wound details guy.
