Would the Greens be willing to trust the NDP again?

Opinion time, given what happened last time would the Greens trust the NDP again? I'm guessing the NDP would need to give out massive concessions like proportional representation (without a referendum) right away to get their backing. Since the Greens now know at any minute when the NDP are slightly more popular they'll hold an election no matter what they sign/say/promise to get rid of the Greens. So even long term promises are out the window as the Greens don't know how long they'll be around.

I don't see the Greens working with the Conservatives simply because it may alienate a large chunk of their voters but also the bridge with the NDP was burned last time so it may be that the Greens are forced to, and the Cons may be desperate enough to stay relevant that they are willing to agree to a lot of the Green's demands.

I'm not sure how a minority government can operate with the knowledge that any agreement is worth less than the paper it's written on.

I suspect the Greens may be willing to back the Cons provided they can vote independently and the Cons agree to implement PPR. The NDP would never implement PPR as the left would break up, but the Cons may be willing to if they don't believe they can keep the momentum or for a chance to rule if only for 4 years.

What is the idea behind asking people to honk from a pedestrian bridge?

I saw BC Green party yesterday in Squamish on a pedestrian bridge asking drivers on the road bellow to honk.

What's the purpose of that?

I'm considering about voting for BC Green party, but after seeing that I'm a bit put off.

I didn't expect this party to be looking for voters on highways and I think that the party is looking for voters at wrong places and also succumbing to car dependency in this province.

For the record, I happened to be passing through Squamish as a passenger (not driving) which I do a few times per year since I have some friends in the area
