NEW - BC has been hit by yet another credit rating downgrade, from AA- to A+ by S&P Global, citing large deficit/debt and lack of plan to balance.
"We believe that the province's commitment to fiscal discipline and stability has wavered in recent years as B.C. has materially increased its spending for both operations and capital investment to unparalleled levels."
A solid summary of the current state of affairs in BC. Expect more of the same from the NDP moving forward. The only difference now is we have a legit opposition holding Eby's feet to the fire.
In today’s BC Throne Speech, Premier Pinocchio explained that he wants to spend the next year blaming Trump for the fiscal and economic problems that Eby & the NDP’s mismanagement has caused.
Hypothetical tarrifs are a convenient excuse for BC’s declining GDP, our ballooning debt, a massive affordability crisis, and our crumbling healthcare and infrastructure — but these were all caused by terrible NDP policies and decisions that have left BC more vulnerable than ever before.
The NDP spent the rainy day fund when the times were good — now we have nothing to fall back on and no plan on how to proceed.
The truth is that David Eby gave all of his MLAs a raise, pulled back the $1,000 he promised British Columbians, and went into hibernation for nine long months…
Now, Eby is coming out of hibernation to feign leadership and play politics.
In reality, Eby’s NDP has never wanted to unite British Columbians — instead, he has spent several long, long years dividing British Columbians and playing politics, while ignoring everyday hardworking people.
The only thing that has changed, is that the BC NDP has a shiny new excuse to use to deflect from their prolonged and self-inflicted failures.
BC’s problems aren’t new — people and families have been struggling and suffering in this province ever since the NDP took over and started making life more expensive for everyday people, making our streets less safe, and destroying good paying jobs and the economy in this province.
British Columbia’s Conservative Party will spend the next year holding Eby to account for his NDP’s failures and we will fight like hell for everyday, hardworking people who deserve a break — starting with the $1,000 rebate that they were promised by David Eby. #bcpoli
Here’s the timeline:
✅David Eby promises you a $1,000 subsidy to buy your vote.
💸Then, he gives every single one of his MLAs a pay raise.
❌Now, he announces you get NOTHING.
Next election, reject the NDP’s lies and greed—vote Conservative!
Another election promise gone by the wayside. Instead, Eby decided to give his MLAs raises and an immediate 3 month vacation.
People were concerned about giving the Conservatives a chance, but it's quite clear we have much more to lose by keeping the NDP in power.
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.
BC’s new cabinet reflects our province’s diversity, experience and talent. This team is focused on what matters to you: lowering costs, strengthening healthcare, building new homes and creating good jobs in safe communities.

Complete disinformation. RFK has stated many times he is not anti-vaccine. This reminds me of CBC's coverage of @JohnRustad4BC during the BC election. They will do the same thing to Poilievre. Mainstream media is on it's way out.
U.S. president-elect Donald Trump announced Thursday that he'll nominate anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. https://t.co/xATNUbkl6l
News on Facebook is censored in Canada, and pretty well all of our mainstream media networks in Canada are state funded and serve as the communications arm of the Liberal/NDP government. It is great to see more and more Canadians seeking truth. My faith is being restored!
@CBCNews election commentator @AishaCMills on air targeting voters "less likely to be college educated". She is insinuating voters are stupid and ill informed. Far left activists simply don't understand the will of the people. Side note: Out of 5 CBC panelists only 1 conservative
With all the technology and resources we have here today in the modern era, we still can not seem to get it right.
It really undermines public confidence when mishaps like this continue to happen on a more regular basis than ever before. #bcpoli

Cost of housing is guaranteed to rise under the @bcndp. Follow the money & see which NDP friendly companies (like Renewal Development) are selected for these over-budget & inefficient govt housing projects. Fewer homes, higher prices, & less work overall for tradespeople #bcpoli
Congratulations to the @BCNDP and Premier @Dave_Eby for fighting a successful election campaign and earning the right to form the next government. We look forward to building BC together!
Caught a BC NDP supporter vandalizing private property.
Not only does he admit to it when I caught him, but he proudly wears a David Eby pin.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but damaging property is totally unacceptable and illegal.
Will the NDP denounce this? #bcpoli
Optimistic that my message of hope resonated with the public at my final All Candidates Debate today in Qualicum Beach.
Now it's time to have ALL HANDS ON DECK to get the vote out👍
