BC is now so uncompetitive we can’t even get investment here when govt throws money at projects. A list of Eby clean energy failures. 2022 Parkland $600M renewable diesel project cancelled, 2024 a $2B Fortescue hydrogen project in PG cancelled and now this $1B battery factory.

In the election Eby told people a Nurse making $90k and a Const worker making $70k would save $4k with his tax cuts that he is now walking away from. Looks like Eby never intended to follow through. What other campaign promises are next to be chopped? @RobShaw_BC.
It sounds from @Dave_Eby today like the grocery rebate NDP promised in election ($500 for single person, $1,000 for household) is on chopping block if Trump goes through with tariffs next week. BC can no longer afford $1.8b cost as it gets sideswiped with US economic impact.

When is a hiring freeze not a hiring freeze? When Eby calls it a hiring freeze, that’s when 🤦♂️ “In the first half of the current financial year, the New Democrats have already added the equivalent of 1,600 full-time jobs in central government, which is a four per cent increase in.

2019, Eby and the NDP happily shut down our 13 BC trade offices in Asia. 2022-24 multiple European countries express interest in our LNG, Eby and NDP scoff. 2025 Eby pounds fist on desk and says we need to diversify our trade 🤦♂️.

It is shocking just how little was done in November after Cabinet was sworn in. Eby’s Caucus was all too happy to take the promotions and pay bumps. Sadly those promotions and raises didn’t seem to motivate them to get to work. Watch 👇.
Big raises, bigger vacations. The BCNDP are nowhere to be found, even as our province faces a generational threat from the Trump tariff. Check it out👇

Good lord, now people are trying to over analyze every word in my statement🤦♂️ I used “seeking” because yes you have to seek by way of a vote of the Legislature the role of Speaker. Perhaps the NDP hacks on here could start to figure out how to address peoples concerns that almost.
The @bcndp are still phoning around trying to lure @Conservative_BC MLAs to quit and become Speaker, giving @Dave_Eby a more functional majority. Here's 3 noteworthy Nos:.❌@PeterMilobar: "I will not be seeking to be the Speaker in the upcoming Parliament.".❌ @TrevHal: "No.

Just wondering, given that my whole Twitter feed seems to be non stop new fire starts and evacuation orders today, has @jjhorgan had enough time to get his photo ops in so we can now have a Prov State of Emergency declared? Asking for several thousand friends #bcpoli #BCWildfire.

Thing is, Elections BC needs to be independent, Eby agrees that the last elxn needs to be reviewed, it makes more sense to have an independent review of independent Elections BC to figure out what happened. Why does Eby prefer MLA’s reviewing instead of an independent Judge?.
With the revelation of irregularities in the 2024 BC provincial election, it's time to strengthen our democratic system. John Rustad lays out 3 recommendations to ensure voters have confidence in elections going forward.

Yet in BC, Eby doubles down with his Grinch attitude and refuses to provide BC taxpayers with the same break. Instead people that need help NOW will have to wait until late 2025 for his $1000 election vote buy promise since he won’t call Legislature back to work before Feb 18.
#BREAKING - Ontario finance Minister @PBethlenfalvy says Ontario will match the federal government's two-month GST holiday “By removing PST from items not currently covered by existing provincial rebates”.

Although on one level I understand the thought, Eby needs to be careful what he wishes for, US travellers are 3/4 of our international overnight tourists. Plus I’m assuming he will still be sending our Cancer patients to the US since BC has dropped the ball on Cancer treatment?

This Eby admitting that the NDP EA process takes forever. Apparently as long as it is wind power, crossing streams for roads, bird paths, animal denning areas and impacts to all of that doesn’t matter? What about Salmon bearing streams and rivers? Old Growth in high wind areas?.
Big news for renewable power in BC 🚨 . Wind power projects will be exempted from environmental assessment, says Energy Minister @adriandix . "BC is calling for renewable energy . at a moment when other provinces are are doing exactly the opposite," he says #bcpoli.

This should not have happened this way. Imagine if this was said publicly BEFORE the change to the order! Now people and businesses are truly confused as to what to expect. Businesses hanging on by a thread deserve better govt comms 2 years into a pandemic than this .#bcpoli.
The previous December 22nd orders had end dates of 12:01 am, Tuesday, January 18. Dr. Henry will be providing an update on the new orders on Tuesday, January 18 – this updated order was made to ensure the order remained in place until Dr. Henry spoke about them on Tuesday.

Thanks for amplifying this Chris. @KevinFalcon and @voteBCUnited brought this forward in the Legislature and tried on two different votes to have the Auditor General investigate. @Dave_Eby and the @bcndp voted against that happening. They seem to be desperate to cover this up.
Amazing story of corruption from our provincial communist government, led by @Dave_Eby. This needs a full investigation. @KevinFalcon, are you helping these guys?. @EdisonMotorsLtd are producing heavy-duty electric trucks right here in BC. It’s a great story. No one has produced

If anyone needed proof of how out of touch @Dave_Eby and the @bcndp are this tweet should do it 👇. Sending Cancer patients to the US is strong action? ER’s constantly closed, walk in clinics closed, first in 🇨🇦 to worst for Cancer Care etc etc. #bcpoli.
Since 2017, our BC NDP team has taken STRONG action to fix and improve our healthcare system so that everyone gets the help and support they need, when they need it. Here are six projects our government tackled this year to make things better for people.

I guess we now know what Ravi “The Million Dollar Minister” Kahlon needs those 9 political staff ( costing taxpayers over $1m per yr) for, to come up with ways to threaten Municipalities. Notice how the Eby govt always finds someone else to blame for their shortcomings?.

Once again a clear example of David Eby failing British Columbians. The @bcndp have presided over BC once being first in Canada for Cancer Care to now the worst and sending patients to the US for private hospital care. I’m glad people are getting care but it shouldn’t have had to.
The program to send cancer patients to Bellingham has cost $16 million so far - $13million sent to two private US clinics, $3million in travel costs. With just over 800 people treated, that's $16,000 per patient which is about four times the cost in BC .

This is simply out of control. David Eby has presided over the total collapse of healthcare in BC. Oliver, Kaslo, Clearwater, Chetwynd and Dawson Creek earlier this week as well. The @bcndp have walked away from rural healthcare full stop. @tegart_jackie @toddstonebc.

What a stroke of luck for @Dave_Eby the “Condo King” that he sold his second place in an Air BnB friendly building for a $150K profit just before the spec tax and this ban takes effect. One set of standards for him and a second set for everyone else in BC I guess 🤷♂️ #bcpoli.
This is the very thing we are addressing with our Short term legislation. Homes are for living in - they’re not commodities for speculation and profit.

Other Provinces will get a tax Holiday. In BC Eby is the Grinch and will not remove PST while refusing to bring back Legislature to implement his $1000 elxn vote buying “promise” how long into 2025 will people have to wait for Eby to actually deliver the help they need today?.

I think we can now all agree that despite @BowinnMa claims earlier today that we have all the resources we need, we clearly don’t. Explain to me what happens to the patient that needs this air ambulance. @Dave_Eby needs to call the state of emergency. #bcpoli #Kamloops.

“We are going to our job as a group of 44,” said Milobar, speaking of the BC Conservative caucus. “It’s unfortunate that you see the Greens will be getting confidential briefings at a ministerial level and we can’t even get an answer like a simple date a document will get.
The two parties are calling it a ‘Cooperation and Responsible Government Accord.’ In short, it’s a document that sets out shared policy initiatives while ensuring the Green vote in lock step with the New Democrats on confidence motions | STORY: #Kamloops .

So to be clear, despite running record deficits and knowing the only way to pay for the services BC needs like Health and Education is a thriving economy, Eby chose to not push projects forward that would help our economy. Now with a US Tariff threat he will finally try to remove.
New: Eby says 10 major BC projects have been identified to be expedited in terms of approval processes. Mines, natural gas, and other projects. #bcpoli.

Eby the man of “inaction “ Mid Feb for a Throne Speech. Likely no budget till end of April. No mandate letters for Ministers and Writ was dropped Mid Sept. It will be the better part of 6 months post elxn before public knows what Eby’s plans to govern are 🤦♂️ @RobShaw_BC.
NEW - Premier David Eby has decided not to hold a one-day session of the legislature before Christmas, for MLAs to elect a new Speaker. The NDP could not convince any Green or Conservative MLAs to take the job. Raj Chouhan will be acclaimed as Speaker in the spring session,.

I wonder if @mikefarnworthbc was filled with “white hot” disgust or is that phrase the exclusive domain for @Dave_Eby to use when he tries to deflect away from his @bcndp govt failures? #bcpoli #kamloops @JoshuaKnaak.
This behaviour puts staff and other patrons at risk. The removal of criminal charges without adding any administrative penalties has emboldened public drug use. @mikefarnworthbc should turn his “disgust” into action & end the decriminalization pilot in BC. #bcpoli

“The leaked memo, released by B.C. United, tells nurses that they could face charges for confiscating a patient's drugs or weapons, a policy the B.C. Nurses' Union says is putting health-care staff at risk.” This is wrong on so many levels. #Kamloops

So @BrendaBaileyBC what do you have to say about this? Is this spreading misinformation? Is @GlobalBC inventing a story? Perhaps the @bcndp and @Dave_Eby need to acknowledge what is really happening on our streets and not what their 300 comms people write for them. #bcpoli.
Today a reporter from Global News was able to obtain 26 hydromorphone pills in half an hour. Some are still in the prescription package with instructions to take every hour for cravings. @JM_Whiteside - diversion of ‘safe supply’ is happening. #bcpoli

Eby’s deficit spending will super-charge inflation. Month after month the inflation rate in BC is higher than the Canadian average. Taxpayers in BC deserve a break from the 30 new and increased taxes the @bcndp have brought in.

Highest gas taxes in North America and highest gas prices in North America under @bcndp govt. @jjhorgan has said since 2018 he would take action if prices stay high in the coming weeks. 215 weeks later still no action. #bcpoli.
We have never seen gas prices as high as this in Metro Vancouver - or anywhere in Canada, for that matter.

Please, will David Eby or Adrian Dix please explain how this many ER’s closing is acceptable in BC. No we don’t need to hear you are frustrated, white hot angry, dismayed or that this is somehow the City’s fault ( oops that’s what they use for housing) just get the damn ER’s open.

So at the same time people in the Interior and the @BCLiberalCaucus were pleading with @jjhorgan to call a State of Emergency, his own experts were pleading for more help as well. I guess the Premier was too preoccupied planning his vacay day trips! #bcpoli #BCWildfires.
Here it is - internal memo/summary of meeting between BCWFS and forest ind. executives dated July 12th makes it clear BCWFS didn’t have sufficient resources. A prov. SoE wouldn’t be declared until July 20th. #Kamloops #BCWildfires #bcpoli

Incredible! Just months after @Dave_Eby directed $500M to BC Ferries, money they didn’t ask for, he now says “some things money can’t fix.” So why did he give them half a billion of tax dollars if their problems don’t require money to fix? #bcpoli.
.@Dave_Eby says situation with delays and misinformation “not tenable” at @BCFerries. Spoke to leadership team today and still has confidence in them. “There are some things money can’t solve,” he says, re staffing shortage, etc. But promises more provincial support if needed.

Hmm when there were much fewer problems at BC Ferries, @BCNDP brought in new board and Joy McPhail to fire CEO. Things have only gotten worse under the new leadership and the best we get is a stern talking to? Yet another @Dave_Eby Minister failing (@Rob_Fleming ) When do.
On @BCFerries problems and reservations for vehicles sold out until August “it’s not acceptable the Ferries are not available.”.Says he’s talked to board chair Joy McPhail and “it’s a priority” to get it working better.

So Eby can’t be bothered with mandate letters, which would tell the taxpayers of BC what the priorities of his Cabinet will be, but they can book Junkets two days after being sworn in! 🤦♂️. How are they adjusting tax breaks for film and what is the budget for the changes? Not that.
First junket of the new @dave_eby @bcndp cabinet involves the new finance minister, new tourism minister and his parliamentary secretary. Headline says delegation "heads to California." But lede, under L.A. dateline, says "delegation. is arriving in Los Angeles." #bcpoli

Very serious question around what appears to be a 20% "success fee" if you hire the same company that decides Clean BC Grants (funded by Carbon Tax) to write your application. Don't use them and pay the 20%, your application is denied. Min & @Dave_Eby refuse to answer question.

More and more people are leaving BC, which under @Dave_Eby and @bcndp watch, has become the most unaffordable Province in 🇨🇦. Doesn’t help when more often than not BC outpaces the Canadian inflation rate. BC has the highest rents, housing and gas taxes etc in Canada. #bcpoli.
British Columbia lost 4,634 more people to other provinces than it gained through interprovincial migration last quarter. It's the largest period of interprovincial migration losses in B.C. in more than 20 years.

Does the BC Agriculture Minister actually think that ranchers replant hay fields each year and it’s as simple as using a different seed next year? 🤦♂️ @Dave_Eby seems to have multiple challenges with the Ministers he has hand picked #bcpoli.
“We’re working on that.” is cold comfort to ranchers and farmers who are having to making tough decisions today.” @Pam_Alexis_ answer to the feed shortage & drought, is to ‘see if we can make the hay more hardy next year’. Does she not understand Ranchers need feed NOW?

We are hearing this time and again. This @Dave_Eby tax grab would be lessened if they would pass my bill to eliminate PST on used cars $20k or less. Also galling that ICBC uses a different way to undervalue your car if it is in an accident and is to be written off. #bcpoli.
The PST on a vehicle is based on the average Canadian Black Book wholesale value. But it turns out, there's a specific detail that's not part of that equation, which some say may have a big impact on how much tax you pay in B.C. @AnneDrewa explains. More:
