It's not fair to blame a super hard working MLA/Minister who cares deeply about their community for the failings of an ideological and out of touch Premier. @Dave_Eby should step aside, not @rparmar_BC. #bcpoli It's time for @bcndp MLAs to oust Eby #bcpoli
šØ Domtar and the rest of the Coastal forest industry warned the NDP of a crisis, and they were right. The coastal public land harvest for 2025 is projected at 6.5 million cubic metres despite an AAC of 15 million. This is a blatant regulatory and policy failure.

In what has to be the most ridiculous position ever: "B.C. Premier @Dave_Eby open to new pipeline if tanker ban remains in place https://t.co/GiECZfg5N1 The only location left is Vancouver. But we just built a pipeline. #bcpoli #cdnpoli Are there no @bcndp MLAs left willing to

I get why the Greens oppose the pipeline, but like Andrew Weaver Iām not sold on the outreach tactics. The MOU gives @Emily_Lowan an opening. Curious to see where Green fortunes go, given where Canadians are right now. #cdnpoli #bcpoli
Not so sure I would have advised @Emily_Lowan to drop an F bomb in a post if one is trying to rebuild support for a fledgling party that has returned to historical ~8% polling levels. The @bcndp will love this. It will be raised time & time again in the next election. #bcpoli

Mark Carney and Danielle Smithās MOU is an abuse of power and a spit in the face to British Columbians. They will never ram a pipeline through BC without the consent of Coastal First Nations and Northern Communities, and weāll make fucking sure of it.Ā #bcpoli

From day one, all of Ukraineās allies have systematically been one step behindāthey sent helmets when Javelin missile launchers were needed, Javelins when artillery was needed. Always the right weapon, six months late, writes @BHL

Vancouver has lost one of its largest economic opportunities to the United States. Why? public strikes, lack of rail infrastructure, and provincial red tape Now we know why the @BCNDP released their "look over there" plan this week. #bcpoli

Actually, this is just another example of the @Dave_Eby @bcndpās inability to manage everything from popsicle stands to our BC chequebook. He is the most fiscally irresponsible Premier our province has ever had. Meanwhile, the @bcgreens act like deer stuck in a headlight,

A must read for anyone contemplating voting @BCGreens @bcndp @ndp or @CanadianGreens. Mark absolutely nails it with a humerous narrative. It must have been easy for him to make this nonfiction comedy of the absurd. He had so much material to work with #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Sadly, this has nothing to do with Clean BC but rather everything to do with the inability of the @Dave_Eby @BCNdp to manage pretty much everything from popsicle stands to BC finances. Most of the experience in the @bcndp chose not to run again. Whatās left are frustrated MLAs
After 7 years and more than $4 billion in its CleanBC plan, BC now admits it is wildly off track from its climate targets and won't hit its legislated 2030 pollution reduction levels. My latest in @BeatNorthern: https://t.co/Oylcu86rWL
