Can the Government spend our money better?

I hope all voters in the BC election understand that our current NDP government has created massive debt loads for us and our youth and, at the same, have taken our health system from bad to worse.

Eby has donated $3,200 over the last two years, or $1,600 per year. My monthly fee is $1,600, or $19,200 per year (I didn't win $10/day lottery). And he had the audacity to claim his paltry donation was the difference in cost. He obviously knew that was a flat out lie. Unreal.
David Eby took advantage of $10/day childcare. Then he claimed he made a 'donation' to make up for it, but refused to tell British Columbians the amount. Now we know: $3,200 since mid-2024 - approximately $100 per month!

$10/day taxpayer-subsidized daycare for David Eby, but none for you.
Just now, David Eby confirms that he has his kids in $10/day taxpayer-subsidized daycare. Approx. only 10% of BC daycare spots offer $10/day daycare. Most families who want in can't get a spot. As Premier, Eby earns $227k/year. Eby's wife is a doctor. Their household income is likely well over half a million dollars per year. We don't resent British Columbians who are successful (we want more people to succeed). But where there are wait lists, surely a wealthy family like Eby's shouldn't be taking advantage of $10/day daycare. Think about a working single mother? David Eby deserves the spot more than her?

This literally makes me want to puke. Mr. Premier, your family earns what, $700K+ per year? And you're getting $10/day daycare? Meanwhile, I'm paying $1,600/month (>$19,000 per year), of after-tax dollars, to send my kid to daycare, while my taxes subsidize yours.

So Eby, who makes $231,881.53 a year, has been using the NDP $10 a day childcare program for years, but needed an unnecessary election to promise British Columbians that he's going to expand it so everyone can benefit? Sounds about right for Eby.

Wow! NDP Eby is a Lawyer, married to a Doctor. Eby resides/is the MLA for the Vancouver-Point Grey riding. The average house in Point Grey has 5 bedrooms is 3974 sqft & lists for $7,907,571. Clearly rich people like him shouldn't get taxpayer subsidies for day care. #bcpoli

Anything Eby announces now is something he didn't believe was important enough to do with a majority government. He is desperate. He is an opportunist. He can't be trusted.

Two years ago today, David Eby's NDP announced a campaign promise. A $1,000 grocery rebate for every family in British Columbia. Eby won, then Eby broke that promise. How can you trust anything the NDP say this election?

The BC NDP will be a case study on how ideology can destroy an entire generation of wealth for a province and its citizens
The BC NDP are now admitting using & exporting natural resources are critical to help pay for everything we need. Too bad the BC NDP spent the last 9 years telling us we needed to stop major revenue generating resource projects because the planet was at a climate change tipping point.

Our Premier has issued so many statements about what he is or is not going to do. Nobody believes him anymore. If you care about BC @Dave_Eby you should resign and call a fall election with a new leader. Your ideology, dogmatism and insufferable "my way or the highway" attitude has turned off so many #bcpoli
Today, the First Nations Leadership Council and I released a joint statement on DRIPA. Our government is committed to working with First Nations in B.C. in genuine collaboration to find a path forward. Read the full statement here: news.gov.bc.ca/33646

Honest Dave, you are the biggest idiot out there. Why does B.C. need First Nations giving consent for projects? Because you were the clown that implemented DRIPA and the Declaration Act. Before DRIPA, only consultation was needed in BC. Just resign already.
BC’s economy is growing exponentially, and that would not be possible without First Nations coming to the table with us. I’m appalled to see the level of misinformation being spread by the Conservatives. Our success lies in the work we do together.

The BCNDP are now going to preach to us about FISCAL RESPONSIBILITIES 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“Their proposed bill is dangerous for British Columbians, fiscally irresponsible, and should be opposed by every MLA in the Legislature,” said Business Manager Bryan Railton.

BC’s first DRIPA “consent agreement” with the Tahltan may be the blueprint for future access fees in our province: 0.08% of BC’s population Over 50% of projected mine revenue As Geoffrey S. Moyse, K.C. writes in @FraserInstitute, citing @tomfletcherbc’s reporting, the Eskay Creek deal splits $1.77B to the Tahltan, and $1.19B to the Province. With a $13B and climbing deficit, how does BC justify a framework where more than half of projected mine revenue flows outside the provincial tax base? fraserinstitute.org/commenta… #bcpoli

Yeah Eby, you are the definition of treason. You gave away public land to 5% of the population of B.C., purely based on someone’s ethnicity. Your kids will read case studies in the future on how terrible and disastrous your legacy was on B.C.
There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason. Canadians are standing together in defence of this beautiful land. 🇨🇦
