Has a politician ever deserved a defeat more than Trump did in the US midterms? I'm sure there are cases, but it has to be on the shortlist. Explicitly campaign against war and then launch a war of choice. The Corruption and grift. Cartoonishly reprehensible.

Will Zussman go back to being an impartial reporter, or lobbying? Oh wait, who will he lobby....

Will David Eby also resign his spot in $10/day daycare?

Hopefully Zussman goes down in Saanich South. That would be insane, lol.

Raising the retirement age is clearly a no-brainer policy given life expectancy in advanced western countries. If Canada weren't a gerontocracy we would've already done it. cnn.com/2025/05/23/business/…

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!

What percent of NDP MLAs and staffers with kids do we think got $10/day daycare? I'm thinking somewhere in the neighbourhood of 100%.
David Eby refusing to answer whether or not other members of his Cabinet also benefit from 10 dollar a day daycare. #BCPoli

For my two kids in daycare I'm going to end up spending $150,000 more than David Eby will for the same care, over the same period. Would be easier to digest if the program was means-tested and neither of us qualified on that basis. A $150K lottery the Premier won and I didn't.

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.

NEW: David Eby confirms his family has personally accessed $10 a day child care. The NDP under John Horgan promised universal $10 a day - but only 10% of spots today are $10. Advocate Sharon Gregson says, under Eby, BC has most expensive child care in Canada. #bcpoli @GlobalBC

The difference between my fees, $19,200/year vs. $10/day ($3,650/year) is $15,550/year. Daycare fees are paid with net income as well. Just a huge break for some, funded by the taxes of the 90% who are paying through the nose. Not income-tested. Total scam.

What do we think the average net worth of seniors deferring property taxes is?
Our seniors built BC. They shouldn't be taxed out of the homes they paid for or stuck waiting for care. We'll reverse the NDP's property tax deferment changes, build more long-term care beds, expand home care and ensure care funding follows seniors.

No fault is insanely dumb. If someone ruins your life in an MVA you should obviously be able to sue for a huge amount of money. No one would want to become a quadraplegic for $5-10M, but if it happens you should be well taken care of financially.
MoveUP has learned that Interim Conservative Leader Lorne Doerkson has pledged privately to the trial lawyers and the private insurance industry to overhaul BC’s insurance industry with a plan that would double rates for drivers. #bclab #bcpoli #bcelxn moveuptogether.ca/the-latest…

The idea that an interim leader of a political party who is thrust into an election wouldn't remain leader and be Premier if they won said election is laughable and absurd. What planet are people living on? Win and Lorne will easily have supermajority membership support.
