November-RCMP will be withdrawing all services from Surrey. The SPS had previously said 860 officers were needed to complete the transition — according to the SPS’s website, the municipal agency has 727 sworn in officers as of last month.

I'm worried for B.C. Why would they want to go down the same path as Alberta. The BC conservatives told you who they are. Do you really want to go there?
Premier Eby should have never called this election but BC needs him & Canada needs him in the game.
BCNDP leader signed public health-care guarantee promising to protect system. No such promise from BC Conservatives. BC Health Coalition fears a Con gov't may return seniors to days of contract flipping - client won't know who is delivering care or which company is giving service

Dallas Brodie has spent two years spreading division and defending residential schools.
But Lorne Doerkson just admitted "there have been conversations" with her about cooperation - and now OneBC isn't running candidates in some seats.
The far-right is still calling the shots.

British Columbians are being told they have to choose between chaos and extremism.
You don't.
In his first op-ed as Leader of CentreBC, Mike Bernier explains why he stepped up to lead the party into the next chapter, why he's rejecting the culture wars consuming BC politics, and why practical, evidence-based leadership matters now more than ever.
If you are worried you will be forced to just vote 'against' the NDP or 'against' the Conservatives come the next election, have a read.
And then join us in building something to vote 'for'.

I say vote @CentreBC Former BC premier Christy Clark says voters face a choice between the "worst government in B.C. history" and an opposition headed by an unelectable leader.
"She cannot win an election," Clark said of Conservative BC Kerry-Lynne Findlay. "She is too kooky."

NEW - Former B.C. Liberal MLA Mike Bernier is the new leader of Centre B.C., a party he says is needed more than ever given the B.C. Conservatives shift to the right under Kerry-Lynne Findlay and growing dissatisfaction with NDP under David Eby. #bcpoli

Those who are dealing with poor finances are much more likely to say the country is on the wrong track than others. A majority say this, compared to the reverse among those who are in very good shape, half of whom say the country is going in the right direction (50%) -Angus Reid

Kerry-Lynne Findlay deleted this video of Jordan Kealy endorsing her. Everyone knows they campaigned together, why is she trying to hide it?
We need her to speak up. She's failing her first real test.
Surrey police board chair Harley Chappell resigns after chief Norm Lipinski ousted. Moving forward, headlines should read: Doug McCallum fails in bid to be reelected as Mayor of Surrey, B.C.
Caroline Elliot claims NDP/Press Progress is attacking her by implying Christianity is tied to extremism or “white supremacy.” I say religion should have no place in government — we’ve seen the damage caused when politics and religion mix. B.C. should reject that path entirely.

Let’s clear something up about MAID in Canada.
It does not apply to children. You must be 18 or older. Mature minors do not qualify. Full stop.
It does not apply to people simply because they are poor or struggling. To be eligible, you must have a serious and incurable illness, disease or disability, be in an advanced state of irreversible decline, and be experiencing intolerable suffering that cannot be relieved in any way you find acceptable. Financial hardship alone is not a criterion.
It is not a rubber stamp. Approval requires assessments by two independent practitioners who review your medical records and confirm you have seriously considered available treatment options. When death is not reasonably foreseeable, a minimum 90-day assessment period is required.
People whose only medical condition is a mental illness are not currently eligible either, that eligibility has been postponed to March 2027 while further safeguards are studied.
You can have moral or religious objections to assisted dying. That is a legitimate position held by a lot of Canadians. But spreading misinformation about what the law actually says is not an argument. It is just fearmongering. Know wtf you are talking about before you talk about it.
