In politics most people just critizise each other, but what did your local government actually do a good job on?

Compared to a lot of politics around the world, our local provincial government (BC Canada) is relatively... boring, and I love that so much!

There will always be issues, but for day to day things, the major parties are just doing their jobs. It's boring, and the politics is in good faith for the most part. The focus is on issues and the best way to implement some change, rather than populism.

There are other great things the government has done, but this is what comes to mind first

This actually is a great thing. I hate that politics is so much about screaming at the voters that party X sucks so much. Just do your fucking job.
