On Canada Day, Premier David Eby said, “We should be proud of the role Canada has played in the world. We have answered the call to combat tyranny, and have also been ardent peacekeepers in troubled lands. “We have welcomed waves of newcomers throughout our history, and we are proud today to be able to offer sanctuary to people from war-torn countries who seek peace and security. “The pride we feel for our country does not mean we ignore our own troubled and complicated history.

Canada Day offers an opportunity for reflection on the impact of colonialism on generations of Indigenous Peoples. Our government is dedicated to addressing these matters in a spirit of reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous Peoples. “The work of building a better Canada is never done, as nation-building is an assignment without end. We will always seek to make a country that is more peaceful, more prosperous, and more democratic.” Far more unites Canadians than divides us. While we face many challenges in improving our country, we know that we can find solutions by working together.

David Eby and the BC NDP team are rolling up their sleeves every day to get things done — building the infrastructure you need, improving care and support for families, and forging new trade and investment partnerships that help grow both BC and Canada. While we’re focused on making life better for British Columbians, John Rustad and the BC Conservatives are spending their energy trying to make it worse. They’ve voted against recruiting healthcare workers and they’ve attacked Premier Eby for reducing housing prices.

The promise of Canada, and of BC, is a better future for ourselves, for our families, and for future generations. Everyone deserves a good job that pays the bills and a home that they can afford. We want to make that a reality.

Note: #Rustad did vote to give HIMSELF a raise.
