#BC #Eby said the feds' increased allowances in the #TFWprogram wouldn't solve #labourshortages in education, child care and the trades.

“It will bring in a group of people that will face deportation again in two more years when their licences expire. How does that help us?" the premier asked.

Once again, government is legislating by popular demand despite scientific evidence that overwhelmingly contradicts the public's uninformed preference. BC, WTF are you doing?? #cdnpoli #eby #uspoli #bc

Interesting that Premier Smith in Alberta get‘s crucified for blaming #Immigrants , however Premier #EBY says the same thing and is not called out . Double standards “BINGO” #UCP #Alberta #BritishColumbia #Canada is dysfunctional #Cdnpoli

Federal AI Minister Evan Solomon disappointed with #OpenAI, BC Premier #Eby says #TumblerRidge shooting could have been prevented, adding "clearly (OpenAI) tragically missed the mark in bringing this information forward" (regarding flagged account, 2nd account). islandsocialtrends.ca/federal-ai-m...

David #Eby and the #BCNDP have time and time and time and time again made it very clear that they care about two things

1) Control of community through force
2) Wealth extraction through resource acquisition and underfunding public service and labour

We need @emilylowan.bsky.social so bad you guys

If I stall #yyj cop budgets it then comes down to #Eby and Glen Lewis overriding city council and giving the cops what they want anyways, like they did in 2018, 2023, and 2025

#yyj 's police budget problem and the associated blood is on /their/ hands and I need you all to know that

I mean let's not forget what's going on here, too. #Eby is directly applying austerity measures to the Public Service by attrition of burnt-out public servants all while inflating the nonunion management class.

Eby wants middle managers who do what he says, not subject experts that tell him no.

4/8 The revelation dominated the first ministers' meeting.

B.C. Premier David #Eby called the meetings "treason."

Prime Minister Mark #Carney was more diplomatic: "I would expect the U.S. administration to respect #CanadianSovereignty."

Eby uses the 'T' word in Ottawa - Island Social Trends Eby uses the 'T' word in Ottawa in his demand that Alberta's separatist movement be called out for reaching out to US for financial support.

BC premier uses ‘T’ word in Ottawa... treason is how #Eby describes the action of Alberta #separatists seeking financial backing from the US... an affront to Canadian #sovereignty should be called out. #Carney seemed to let this play out between Eby & Smith. islandsocialtrends.ca/eby-uses-the...

#IMHO #Yep! As #UBC #PoliSci lecturer Stewart Prest said "Eby’s use of treason is appropriate, because it’s a “moment for blunt talk.”

Neither. It's not either-or because the roles are different. Judges apply and necessarily interpret the laws that elected representatives create with the backdrop of the constitution and it's layout of rights and restraints. Eby has the right idea.

B.C. Premier says he could back new pipeline if tanker ban remains in place David Eby says it ‘would make life a lot better and easier’ in his province ‘in terms of our relationship with Coastal First Nations’

#eby suggests he'd back a new #pipeline from #alberta if the #tanker ban remains in effect. How does that work? Does the pipeline terminus end up along the #britishcolumbia south coast? #orca s at risk already

My favorite media quote this morning regarding the #MOU is this one from David #Eby:

4/10 The backlash is already here.

Carney says B.C. and First Nations consent is "necessary" for any project. #Poilievre fired back that Premier #Eby shouldn't have a veto on cross-border infrastructure.

Bloc MP Patrick Bonin calls it a "dark day," claiming Canada has abandoned the #Climate fight.

#Smith, #Carney and the rest of the political clown-car ( #Moe, #Kenny et al) need to back off making plans for #BC (coastal access, #pipelines, #tankers) without #Eby at the table. If #AB wants to continue to decimate their own province, cool, but GTFO with this 'Canada's Coast' bullshit.

3/8 Premier #Eby was blindsided. He confronted #Carney privately on Monday, arguing B.C. was excluded from talks in a way that "would not happen to Quebec."

He laid out three conditions:

👉 First Nations consent,

👉 Maintaining the tanker ban, and

👉 Matching federal subsidies for B.C.
