Horgan has already lost more than 3,000 #forestry jobs on their watch. Life is not more affordable when you lose your job. The NDP is risking mill closures, job losses and legal disputes with forest companies — and I refuse to accept it. VIDEO: #bcpoli

This is going to have a devastating impact! 730 workers have lost their job. On top of these jobs it will impact the logging contractors, truckers and all of the small businesses that support the forest sector. NDP government is abandoning more rural communities. NDP - STAND

Devastating news just announced for rural British Columbia and the forestry sector. 730 jobs permanently lost across three communities. Bear Lake, Houston, Prince George. This NDP government has completely abandoned the forestry sector, hurting families and communities. #bcpoli

Forestry impacts more families in more communities than any other industry in B.C. So why isn’t @jjhorgan playing a stronger role in the softwood lumber dispute? Read my op-ed in the @BlackPressMedia @tomfletcherbc @BCLiberalCaucus

With so many Dr.’s retiring we need to expand Dr. training spaces at (UBC) from 288 to 400 where, currently, there have been zero seats added under the two-term NDP government; and the NDP needs to fulfill their broken promise to create a second medical school at SFU.

Thank you so much for covering this story. For people living in the Interior we have felt abandoned by our Premier that leads a cabinet. Fires cause issues in Agriculture, Environment, FLNRO, Mental Health, Health, Seniors…. ALL hands should be helping. Premier leads this.

BC's premier has kept a low profile during Covid to "focus on experts" HOWEVER he's had enough gaffes that keeping him out of the spotlight may serve a dual purpose👀 BUT no public appearances for 4 wks as fires grow & the 4th wave surges? Major backlash

The increase in #redtape introduced by the NDP government on new taxes like the #employerhealthtax has certainly made running a #smallbiz in BC more costly and has increased paperwork! @BCLiberalCaucus

#BC businesses can't just pay the #employerhealthtax at quarter end on their actual payroll costs - instead, they have to guesstimate it at the start! It's #redtape hurdles like the #EmployerHealthTax that have been nominated for #CFIBs paperweight award.

BC drivers are being taken for a ride by politicians who are hosing them at the gas pumps. Motorists in Metro #Vancouver will be paying 54 cents in taxes per litre of gas this summer. It’s one of the reasons why we’ve got highest gas prices in North America #CarbonTax #GasTax
