B.C. NDP Leader John Horgan and B.C.

But B.C. Liberal Leader and Premier Christy Clark won’t go down without a fight. She faced two options following Horgan and Weaver’s announcement, both with very similar outcomes. The first is to resign immediately; the other is to test the confidence of the house, deliver a throne speech and budget, and hope that she can convince someone to cross the floor.

On Tuesday, Clark announced she planned to go the latter route and would do so in June. That decision drew some mixed reactions.
