Premier, a Buy BC contradiction: Destination BC, a Crown corporation, still pulls accommodation and other tourism listings from Tripadvisor, a U.S. company.
Why should BC tourism operators need a U.S. platform to appear properly on our own provincial tourism website?

When Trump attacks our workers, we must become our own best customer.
My Build BC Strong plan brings in new "Built in B.C. and Canada" rules so every school, hospital and transit line we build puts B.C. and Canadian wood, steel, aluminum and cement to work first.
The conservative parties would roll over for Trump and cut the projects. I'll build them here.

This proposal does not improve active transportation or congestion; it's more of the same low-quality work by the City of Abbotsford, decreasing productivity and increasing economic input costs.

600 lost power after a Tesla hit a pole on George Ferguson Way. Speed-centric roads breed crashes. Letβs rebuild Abbotsford streets for safety, commerce & communityβnot fast lanes. Agree? #Abbotsford #VisionZero

Interesting to see our MP step up for an American, yet during our election, Gill skipped local debates & still hasnβt offered a single policy to address AbbotsfordβSouth Langley issues. Constituents deserve better. #cdnpoli
We need to lower all housing prices to decrease our economic input costs, lower the overall cost of living and increase our economic competitiveness.
β
Discourage real estate speculators / idle rich.
β
Encourage investment in Canadian businesses.

The BC Conservatives' true motives appear.
They don't care about small businesses or the majority of people. They want to benefit speculators, increasing economic input costs, like housing.
β Affordable housing
β Successful small businesses
β
Speculator profit
You ride the SkyTrain through Metro Vancouverβcranes everywhere, condos coming fast.
In Surrey Central area, units are now selling for less than pre-sale prices. Investors are trapped. Assignments are piling up.
Eby made it worse by gutting short-term rentalsβkilling flexibility and pushing owners to sell.
This isnβt housing policy. Itβs economic sabotage.
This weekendβs fire displaced about 100 residents from an Abbotsford 55-plus condominium complex, leaving them temporarily homeless. I have not seen any statement from the Mayor or the City outlining support services or next steps, yet todayβs post spotlights a hockey wager. π«€

How does a brand new school in Abbotsford not have 100% accessible playgrounds?
Why are donations wasted on a new school when the District fails to deliver an accessible playground to begin with?
Abbotsford deserves better.

It'll be interesting if vote splitting could create an opportunity for the Liberals in Abbotsford-South Langley.

An important (ancillary revenue & sales) component of Alaska cruises are Klondike Gold Rush land tour components, including Carcross, Whitehorse & Dawson City. Cruise lines skipping BC ports due to Alaska's actions should be heavily tolled on BC Hwy 2, connecting Skagway & Yukon.
British Columbia Premier David Eby says he is standing firm behind the legislation allowing the province to levy new fees on U.S. commercial trucks heading to Alaska, despite political threats involving the cruise ship sector from an Alaskan senator. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/0β¦

Who is going to determine "promising BC startups?" A consulting firm? Bureaucrats? No. If an idea is good, they will get financing from investors - lower taxes or use the money for capital projects, like transit, active transportation and rail, that increase GDP productivity.
BREAKING: BC will be contributing NEW $30M to promising BC startups to scale and commercialize their products and services in BC. Funding available through @innovate_BCβs IMI fund. @Diana_Gibson_BC
A rebate made available by underinsuring drivers and not appropriately paying out crash victims, particularly vulnerable road users, instead of requiring municipal governments to meet Vision Zero engineering standards to lower costs, save lives & increase GDP productivity.
