Premier David Eby was mildly teased this week in the legislature about his hot yoga routine.

It was raised to key to the question: “What is more flexible, his promises, or his principles?”

Turns out he’d gone to yoga earlier in the morning. He laughed it off with: “I had a good stretch. It helps with the heart rate during question period.”

Eby recommended it to the entire legislature and it is sound advice, because B.C. politicians are going to be going through contortions that were unimaginable just a few months ago as U.S. President Donald Trump contemplates starving Canada into submission.

The stretching and twisting is already well underway. The NDP is folding most of its re-election campaign platform and stuffing it in a closet. The government continued the trend by reversing course and retooling the dangerous drug safe supply program this week.

There will be more to come.
