I have had many people in my riding say they won’t vote for me again because I promote the vaccine. So I promise to keep doing my job and promote the vaccine so hopefully they can stay safe and healthy to exercise that right.

As a former Mayor, this plan of Eby’s is a slap in the face to community planning done, with no understanding of OCP planning done by councils. Local Governments and communities should be outraged, we need more housing but this NDP idea will make it worse.

This argument from the US is getting almost comical!!! I would have way more respect if he just came out and said, “Stop BC export so my State can make more money and have more jobs”

And he says it with a straight face:
Jay Inslee is concerned about "the risk of oil spills and the impact of increased vessel traffic". Because the twice daily U.S. tanker shipments off the coast of Victoria aren't a hazard at all.
