This is so incredibly misleading!
As @VaughnPalmer, @RobShaw_BC, @FranYanor and many other members of the Press Gallery will recall, the Haida Agreement was NOT unanimously supported by all parties in the Legislature (and it was passed in May, not April). It was opposed by every member of the then-BC United caucus.
Minister @SChandraHerbert, I sincerely hope this is a mistake and not a deliberate attempt to mislead the public.
@AaronGunn Who is going to cover the extra $1.2-1.8B? Ferry users and BC taxpayers, that’s who. That’s also ridiculous. We don’t build our own airplanes, trains, trucks or even cars. Why the sudden hardon for ferries?
@AlexBC997@bobmackin@bcndp The Chinese tariffs on some, by no means all Canadian agricultural products was in retaliation for Canadian imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs. Drop the EV tariff and the ag tariffs go away plus we can then buy reasonably priced EVs.
#BCNDP is again reaching into restaurant employers empty pockets because they can, because they believe the private sector is not worthy of support and they don’t really give a damn what #CRA has to say or what’s fair. @bcpoli#preditoryndp
🚨 Tipping Point?
B.C. restaurants are already struggling with soaring costs. Now they're being hit with WorkSafeBC’s surprise tax on tips — with zero consultation and conflicting rules.
Here’s what’s going on 👇 (1/7)
“Stop Hiding, Mr. Gill— Let’s Have a Real Conversation in Front of the People”
I am publicly challenging Conservative candidate Sukhman Singh Gill to participate in an open discussion about our visions for representing the people of Abbotsford–South Langley in Ottawa. #cdnpoli
@SalMoanella1@heterogeneman@RandPaul And those tariffs will reduce demand by raising cost and then tariff revenue declines and taxes go up. Why is this so hard for people to understand?
@super_dilly@RandPaul Where will you get your inputs? Rare earth for example? Where will your exports go? The world is already turning away from your agriculture. You can’t eat all the corn or soy beans you produce. So the world turns to Brazil and Russia for those. X a thousand. Well played.
@FuniVids@RandPaul Costs get passed on to end user as Trump recognized when he imposed 10% versus 25% tariffs on Canadian oil. 10% will raise the prices of gas but 25% would have a huge impact at the pump. 25% tariffs on all everything coming into US could not come close to replacing income tax.
While the NDP continues to fail on healthcare, they have instead prioritized large severance payments to NDP political staffers and nickel and diming legal owners of short-term rental properties.
@CTVNews Oil production in the lower 48 is dominated by light oil yet their refineries are heavy oil dependant. That is why the import heavy and export light crude at the same time. It’s a shame that Albert doesn’t understand the market and undermines the Canada’s negotiating position
📊 Some takeaways from StatCan's December jobs numbers this morning:
52% of the jobs growth this December was in public sector positions.
Year-over-year, BC has added 13,300 public sector employees, but lost 6,400 private sector and self-employment jobs. #bcpoli
Conservative and Green signs scattered all over, but not a single NDP sign in sight. Conveniently missing from the mess—makes you wonder. 🤔 @bcndp care to comment? #bcpoli#NorthVan
“B.C. has experienced essentially zero net growth in private sector jobs for more than two years” A BCNDP jobs plan may not exist but their debt plan is exceeding expectations.
Cherry-picked job numbers paint deceptive picture of B.C. economy https://t.co/CQNnSt8nfN via @BIVnews
I can fill in for Rustad @RobShaw_BC because most of us running are not afraid to debate. It seems like only the BC Cons are afraid to stand up for themselves. !! #bcpoli
