“He said everything’s on the table...everything from privatizing ICBC, bringing in all the private insurers, getting rid of no fault and jacking up your rates.” Lorne Doerkson put it all on the table. You’d pay for it.

When the NDP govt took over in 2017, ICBC was in an absolute financial mess. Since then, thanks to no-fault insurance, there has been no rate increases for the past 7 years, while drivers have received rebates averaging about $640. Why would anyone want to change this? #bcpoli

I can't believe I am writing this out: It is not immoral to be gay. It's heart breaking to me to know there is a MLA in this province who disagrees with this. #bcpoli

I asked a simple question: is it hateful to tell a colleague at work that she’s immoral for being gay? The Conservative leader couldn’t give a straight answer. That tells British Columbians everything they need to know.

I’m a bit confused. I thought the BC conservatives were pitching themselves as the great financial saviours of the province. This demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of provincial budgeting and an inability to be responsible managers of our tax dollars @VoteCentreBC

Just renewed my #ICBC car insurance for a year, cost me all of $1477. That's $80 cheaper than last year, which was cheaper than the year before. Public auto insurance is a wonderful thing! Here's the 10-yr change in auto insurance costs by province from StatsCan. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Ignoring First Nations rights doesn't speed up development. When the Crown fails to uphold the honour of the Crown and meaningfully engage First Nations, it invites more litigation, more uncertainty, and more project delays.

A good day to ponder what an amazing deal B.C. residents have enjoyed thanks to public auto insurance. Avg nominal premiums are no higher than 9 years ago when J.Horgan was elected, vs 45% avg increase in Canada and 119% in next-door Alberta. Data from StatsCan. #bcpoli

Major fiasco BC Conservatives halfway point of campaign. Secret letter tells lawyers, industry insiders plans for auto insurance before telling public. Assuming letter won't be leaked. Saying "everything is on table." Doerkson has some explaining to do.

Significant error by the B.C. Conservative campaign. Politicians of all stripes have maintained ICBC as sole provider of basic auto insurance because they know people know private insurance costs more. #bcpoli

Leaked B.C. Conservative letter to lawyers, private insurers with party agenda for auto insurance, should put Lorne Doerkson on defensive. What else is he planning that he's sharing with insiders without telling the public?

So if I made $200k a year, I'm paying $14 more per month to help health care. Pretty sure I'm not moving over that.
Bowinn Ma@BowinnMaOct 6
Everyone in B.C. deserves healthcare they can count on. To help pay for it, the BC NDP's plan includes asking the top 4% of earners to contribute a little more. But even after these changes, B.C. will stay one of the lowest-tax provinces in Canada. 👇

Lorne Doerkson says he's committed to conservative values. So why was he secretly negotiating with Dallas Brodie and OneBC, the same party whose leader has made comments minimizing residential schools, while publicly condemning the Second Sons appearance in Kamloops? Doerkson needs to be clear about where he stands, and so do British Columbians, before they vote. Centre BC stands against hate and discrimination, full stop. #bcpoli #centrebc
