Sounds good to me.

I was looking for the video of Eby’s presser after the recent “first ministers” meeting only to find… he wasn’t there?

Wonder where he went.

Our government is on vacation.

Soon to return, to emergency powers.

Eby and his true believers don't have the emotional intelligence or maturity to work with folks who have different opinions.  They may actually be afraid (probably for good reason.)

I wish I were surprised.  This is the worst piece of legislation I've ever seen in this Province.  He really has no leadership talent and relies on blunt instruments like a child.

Climate crisis, trade war, meeting with the new prime minister…

At least Eby has his priorities right.

It sure didn't take Colin Plant long to get his signs out in Saanich.

 

He must have been out there at midnight planting those signs. (see what I did there?)

[mbjj]

We were driving out to Royal Oak this morning around 10:30 and saw the signs being put up on the Pat Bay Highway.

Tempted to vote Liberal if it means Colin might not win… nah, jk.

Opinion: Our politicians must deal with tariffs within democratic constraints, which include transparent debates and deliberations that include Opposition parties.

Eby is an infant.  

 

This is only because 1) he doesnt have any tools in his toolbox to collaborate (the antithesis of leadership), and 2) because the cray-cray, anti-democratic NDP fringe think they're morally superior to literally every human and will righteously refuse to work with any cray-cray anti-democratic fringe of PC of BC. 

 

The most pathetic piece of leg proposed in memory.  A really bad look, and rightly vilified by every editorial in the country addressing it.

[Mike K.]

The Eby government should call an election.

i remember gordon campbell was never very concerned about moving too quickly when he was doing stuff with orders-in-council even when the liberals had a 72-2 majority or whatever it was

[Matt R.]

Is there a way to find results from the fuel transparency act? I looked at the bc utilities website but it appears to be down.

I think after using this mechanism extensively during the measures and the resulting legal issues they thought this would be better. Orders aren’t laws after all. This bill would allow him to make laws. Big difference.

Credit rating agencies S&P and Moody's have both downgraded British Columbia's rating on the same day, citing the province's ballooning deficit and the apparent lack of a plan to dig the province out of its fiscal hole.

 

S&P Global Ratings cut the province's long-term issuer credit rating to A+ from AA- on Wednesday, while Moody's Ratings downgraded its key baseline assessment to aa2 from aa1.

 

Moody's said in a news release that its downgrade reflected a "structural deterioration in British Columbia's credit profile" and it predicted this year's deficit would soar to $14.3 billion.

 

That's more than 31 per cent higher than the forecast in Finance Minister Brenda Bailey's budget last month, and 57 per cent higher than the most recent estimate of last year's deficit.

More good news, what a week

[Mike K.]

I guess there’s no chance of that $1,000 rebate being issued now, is there?
