@iainblackbc Did you read what he wrote?

[Iain Black @iainblackbc]

Read. This.

All of it.

If you’re one who says, “oh, I’m not political…”

Read. This.

If you’re one who says, “Government can’t really impact my world…”

Read. This. …and see what this government has done to meaningfully *harm* your world, and that of your children.

What a list. A specific, lengthy, utterly unnecessary list.

A list captured by the man who faced a similar list in 2001 and knows both the size & dizzying complexity of the mess that’s been created by David Eby…. And that it can be fixed.

That it *must* be.

@kevcontabby New orders from Liberal HQ perhaps?

[JP Andrew @JPAndrew3]

If you are finding it increasingly difficult “to make ends meet”as a BC resident and want to vote for your financial well being, here’s how! And why!

[Kim G C Moody @KimGCMoody]

B.C.’s Premier @dave_eby wants you to believe he called a provincial election because of Donald Trump. Yeah, right.

He called it two years early, with a majority already in hand. He called it within days of the B.C. Conservative leader's resignation, after a caucus exodus took the Official Opposition from 44 MLAs down to 25. Trump was the cover story, and opportunism was the reason. British Columbians are paying for a multimillion-dollar election for shameless opportunism.

Eby isn't even subtle about where he got the idea. Mark Carney ran on "Canada Strong" in 2025, and Eby is running on "Build B.C. Strong." Same “elbows up” flag-wrapping, same Trump-as-villain script, and the same hope that voters forget the record. It worked federally, unfortunately. B.C. shouldn't fall for the knock-off.

And Trump is Eby's all-purpose excuse. On September 18, four days before calling the election, he "paused" his own PST expansion onto professional services, blaming Trump's trade war. It was a tax his government wrote into Budget 2026. An all-party legislative committee had already recommended repealing it in August. Eby didn't repeal it. He shelved it with a temporary regulation, with no end date, until the trade war is over.

Because the record is the problem. Eby is an ideologue, not a fiscal manager, and B.C. now faces a record $13.8 billion projected deficit.

What the NDP has already done:

• Raised the lowest provincial income tax rate from 5.06% to 5.6%, hitting every working British Columbian
• Froze tax brackets through 2030, a quiet tax increase every time wages keep pace with inflation
• Legislated a 7% PST on accounting, engineering, architectural, security and real estate services, worth over $500 million a year once fully in place, and removed longstanding PST exemptions
• Paused that PST expansion on the eve of an election, without repealing it, once again blaming Trump for the pause
• Promised families a $1,000 grocery rebate in 2024, then cancelled it

What the NDP is promising now:

• A new Unsold Condo Tax: 2% of assessed value, rising 1% every year the unit sits empty - totally nutty
• A higher speculation and vacancy tax: 2% domestic, 5% foreign - oh, for sure that’s what B.C. needs - nutty.
• A temporary 10¢/litre gas tax cut at roughly $250–280 million, paired with government-set maximum prices at the pump - nutty.
• Government-capped profit margins on milk, eggs, cheese, butter and poultry - nutty
• A pledge to "ensure those at the very top pay their fair share," with no detail on who, how much, or which tax - nutty.

What the Conservatives are promising:

• No new taxes and no tax increases, which Lorne Doerkson calls "ironclad"
• PST removed from Canadian beer, wine and spirits until the trade war ends - don’t totally agree with this but it’s minor in the whole scheme of things.

After nine years, the NDP's pattern is clear: spend, run record deficits, raise taxes on the middle class, then offer temporary relief at election time. A 10-cent gas tax holiday doesn't undo a permanent income tax increase and a bracket freeze. And a PST expansion "paused" before an election is a PST expansion waiting for after one.

Socialist price controls on gas and groceries won't close a $13.8 billion hole. They add regulation and risk driving out the competition the NDP says it wants.

Deficits are deferred taxes. Every dollar Eby borrows today is a tax bill for British Columbians tomorrow.

I fear for British Columbia, and for Canada, if David Eby is returned to office. B.C. is a cornerstone of the national economy, and its fiscal decline doesn't stay inside its borders.

Eby handed British Columbians an election they didn't expect. They should use it. October 24 is the chance to throw the NDP out of office and start the repair.

"For two weeks, B.C. Premier David Eby and his ministers have been adamant – their government severed ties with a Vancouver-based drug user group immediately upon learning it was involved in illicit drug trafficking last month. Yet several NDP MLAs, including Eby’s parliamentary secretary when he was Attorney General, were personally briefed on drug user groups’ illegal activities 17 months ago, according to legislature transcripts reviewed by Northern Beat."

Number of hours of work at minimum wage necessary to pay the average rent in each province.

Upgrade your skills and get a better job.

[Brad Tennant @bradktennant]

John Horgan didn’t have to call a snap election two years early. He didn’t have to attack a businessman and philanthropist in his 90s to distract from his record. And he was able to run a full slate of candidates.

It’s no wonder why even New Democrats are turning on Eby.

[Michelle Phillips @Michphil1998]

“Moving the ball”! Carney wrote a book while being a sitting WEF board member stating he wants to keep O&G in the ground but NOW we’re to believe he’s had a change of heart & supports a pipeline?

Wake UP! It’s a lie due to the referendum!

[JP Andrew @JPAndrew3]

@GasPriceWizard @ianBourke2 He is just following orders.

With two elections coming up this month it's important to look closely at lawn signs during election campaigns.
Last time I voted for a real estate agent.

[Kurt Holman MP @KurtHolmanMP]

I’ve yet to hear one good argument against this.

If someone comes to Canada as a visitor, commits a crime and is convicted, why in the world should they be allowed to stay?

Enforce our laws. Deport them. Put Canadians first.

[Nick Leaf @Derricktgoat]

Carbon tax Carney, just admits if you can’t get a Carbon Tax through legislation, just bury it and add it on so nobody notices. You hear a lot about him cancelling the “carbon tax” but you hear nothing about him adding the “clean fuel carbon tax” to replace it.

[JP Andrew @JPAndrew3]

@magnevision1 @lamphieryeg The exclusion is based on size. Smaller vessels transporting oil and barges tow fuel through this area all year round. This is how fuel gets to smaller coastal communities in Canada and Alaska.

[JP Andrew @JPAndrew3]

Well said Jason Kenney!

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Eby is such a jerk.

Jimmy Pattison is one of the greatest British Columbians ever. He has likely created more jobs than anyone in BC history, and has been BC’s greatest philanthropist and booster.

Eby’s attack on a 98 year old model citizen is a gross appeal to class warfare and the politics of resentment. The NDP at its very worst.

[JP Andrew @JPAndrew3]

@Adam_Stirling @Tim_Pettit_ Disagree. It’s a disaster for the NDP.

[JP Andrew @JPAndrew3]

@rparmar_BC Your government is fiscally incompetent and fiscally incontinent. If grocery stores on average reduced prices by 4% they would go out of business. Then what? Government grocery stores like the Soviet Union?

[JP Andrew @JPAndrew3]

Nailed it.

[Bird X @TheBandBirdX]

Liberal voters: “Ban all firearms”

Trump threatens Canada.

Liberal voters: “Lock & Load”

Liberal voters: “No New Pipelines”

Trump threatens Canada.

Liberal voters: “Build those pipelines”

Liberal voters: “Canada is a Post-National State with no inherent identity.”

Trump threatens Canada.

Liberal voters: “We’re a sovereign nation!”

[JP Andrew @JPAndrew3]

@CoryStenn Carney’s been clear about his reasons. His New World Order will be based on the Chinese Renmimbi as the currency. China’s ambitions are on a much larger scale, they plan to replace US as the dominant world power.

[Dan McTeague @GasPriceWizard]

I bet Carney wished they remained suppressed.

Little wonder he and Liberals dit like to mention that the 2nd carbon tax (Clean fuel regulation) adds 19 cents per litre to diesel and 16 cents per litre to gasoline

Canadians continue to be green fleeced by Carney
