Global is almost broke, which is why he bailed. He was a bust at GR firm Burson, now this.

I would argue the NDP leaving mentally ill women on the streets selling their bodies for drugs is not really a “dignified life” but maybe that is just me.

It's significant that @LDoerkson didn’t seek leadership. It sought him. My latest for @WesternStandard, link in comments.

Lula Lula Lula!

FN of BC who voted NDP deserve a kick in the ass. Eby's drug policies alone were/are killing more natives than residential school. The policies are creating the next generation of native drug users, average native male life expectancy has dropped to 43.

Congratulations to my MLA Á'a:líya Warbus! She doubled her margin in percentage terms compared to 2024.
I hope Á'a:líya gets some rest. Heavy lifting ahead. A $13.8 billion annual deficit = need to reinvigorate the economy & bring greater discipline to government spending.

.@LDoerkson said today interest payments are "choking the economy" & commits to an independent investigation into BC's finances. Said the $1B accounting error by the @bcndp has him "terrified" at what else they might discover.

It is a triumph that a Conservative Party dominated a city, including downtown cores, while not capitulating on really any policy.
It goes to show that voters are very open to Conservatism. In fact, we are just shy of winning the majority popular vote. Tone, tone, tone!

I’m dealing with a “statutory decision maker” who doesn’t understand things like significant figures or the limitations of our current analytical chemistry capacity and it has delayed a critical development for years costing jobs and taxes…it is utterly insane…

We have kids, fresh out of school with zero experience either in the field or doing investigations hired to review technical reports prepared by incredibly qualified professionals with decades of experience. Folks who took a course in university reviewing the folks who teach them

Now up to 64-seat majority for @Conservative_BC. My hot take for @WesternStandard, link in comments.

Ok I found 123 different times that Eby said "Trump" during one of his press conferences held since the election was called on September 22nd.
(I put a counter in the top right of the frame of the supercut).
Here are all the ones I found in order. Did I miss any?

Who wants a supercut of all the times he said "Trump?" Any guesses on how many times it happened?

Hey Matt - where'd you go? Haven't seen a single tweet from you tonight. Busy packing up your office? Your days of being an insult to BC taxpayers have come to an end.

This was the the strongest campaign team I’ve ever seen. @katy_merrifield, @DPinBC @Bzubyk @Anthony__Koch @BenWoodfinden @JeffBallingall @MauroAFrancis, @grantrhwoods, @howardanglin and so many more people.

Holy shit did Dallas Brodie ever get slaughtered though.
I figured she was in for a tough go, but 4%?
Ouch.

“It’s invigorating, it’s exciting, it’s thrilling,” says Caroline Elliott of historic @Conservative_BC majority win. Rookie candidate Elliott won her riding of West Vancouver-Capilano handily with approx 2/3rds of the vote.

The B.C. NDP cannot guarantee David Eby will remain leader either. Indeed, odds are he won’t…

ICYMI - Sustainable Development Technology Canada was created to subsidize environmental projects.
It was disbanded in 2024 with resignation of all directors after audit found 186 conflicts of interest.
@PrivyCouncilCA report cited gross mismanagement that cost taxpayers $150M.
Liberal MPs on Commons committee reject motion to recover $34 million in federal grants mistakenly paid to ineligible applicants by scandal-ridden ‘Sustainable Development Technology Canada’, labelled “green slush fund.”
