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

Two different credit downgrades today for BC. You deserve to keep more of your tax dollars, not have those dollars paying for more expensive Govt debt. @KevinFalcon and @voteBCUnited have a plan to fix it.

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.

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.

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.

“ David Eby’s government plans to accumulate more debt per person over the next three years than the province did during the 2008-09 and 2020 recessions combined.” This is simply not sustainable especially when most homes are barely scraping by.

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:

The @bcndp will collect 2.35B dollars extra in Carbon Tax in 4 years. Yet have only budgeted 679M for measures to reduce GHG emissions. That means 3 of every 4 dollars collected will not fund Clean BC. What sham propped up by the @BCGreens why so little Clean BC cash? #bcpoli.
