Wow @davidebybc.bsky.social way to go! I’m sure these jobs definitely won’t impact the local economies. I don’t think $60m savings will touch your 11 billion deficit or your 5 billion interest payments. Why not get rid of Penny Ballem and save 1 million right there? #bcpoli #bchealthcare #phsa #vch
