Eby isn't winning himself any favours with certain municipalities as a result of his tough talk around taking away zoning authority (which is the core jurisdiction of municipalities). Municipalities like Port Moody are basically progressive NIMBY strongholds and the NDP still needs these constituencies. He seems to be a favourite among internet warriors for some reason, but his positioning has probably rubbed factions of the party the wrong way.
When I see the list of cabinet ministers as leadership material, I think Ravi Kahlon has a shot if he wants it. He checks the boxes - south of the Fraser, person of colour, pragmatic, and in the right demographic which would set himself apart (but not too far apart, like a female candidate) from Kevin Falcon.
