Finally, a banger from David Eby 🔥
The BC Conservatives would be foolish to argue in favour of developers leaving unsold condos vacant.
NEW - David Eby seems to be backing away from his condo bailout program that prompted backlash in June, and instead announcing a 2% "empty condo tax" on developers if units continue to sit vacant. #bcpoli

Please take a listen. It’s important for ALL Canadians
UCP govt is trying to hoodwink us…
Does Alberta's new law permitting physician dual practice violate the Canada Health Act?
Like many Alberta physicians, I'm concerned about what physician dual practice will mean for equitable access to medically necessary care. As a nephrologist and researcher here in Calgary, I see every day how much our patients rely on a strong public system. Moreover, a formal legal opinion obtained by @healthcoalition confirms the Alberta law violates the Canada Health Act.
I'm joining Canadian Doctors for Medicare in calling on the federal government to take action, and I hope you'll join us. Contact your federal MP today (find them at mymp.ca) and ask them to stand up for Canadian Medicare.

I'm voting for the #BCNDP, the only party that cares enough to bring rents down in the last 40 years.#bcpoli
Today in Burnaby I committed to turning more empty condos into homes people can afford.
Our housing plan is working. Home prices are falling faster in B.C. than anywhere else in Canada, rents have dropped 26 months in a row, and the speculation and vacancy tax has turned 20,000 empty units into homes. But too many finished condos are still sitting empty or unsold.
So we'll raise the speculation and vacancy tax by one point and bring in a new Unsold Condo Tax on finished condos left empty for more than a year, climbing every year they sit. That could unlock up to 5,000 homes for British Columbians.
The conservative parties have opposed nearly every measure we've taken on housing. They'd rip up the plan and hand the market back to the speculators.
With Trump's trade war driving up costs, we have to keep pushing yours down. That's how we build B.C. strong. 🇨🇦

These comments about BC’s political situation are all spot on. The problem is they refer to the”conservative option” and in the world of political campaigning (marketing) it’s the squeaky wheel that gets noticed! Getting one’s name (the others vs. the @bcndp) front and centre is the goal, because when people vote, too often, they typically vote the name left in one’s mind. We don’t vote for the facts, our minds vote more for the name that’s been repeated ad nauseum. That’s why Trump has done so well, b/c he gets his name in the news saying the most ignorant and irrelevant things. The left is largely still stuck in the world of Cartesian logic that says “the facts, only the facts”. So, go online and repost everything that has the @bcndp and its candidates, and absolutely nothing that mentions any of the other parties. Don’t worry about the facts, just name the party and the candidates and anything positive about progressive values like good schools, more doctors, #affordablehousing, #transit, etc and never mention the other guy and let subconscious minds do the rest. Then sit back and watch it happen, Finally, keep it positive! #bcpoli
The conservatives are trying to pretend they are the stable, serious option, just days after they pushed out a second leader in less than a year. Given the membership in the party often veers toward culture war pushers (ie electing KLF), voters should be aware of the significant risk when it comes to the BC Conservatives.

I'm running for my kids and for families in #NorthVan. We've made progress, but there's still more to do — especially with the escalating trade war threatening our province. I believe in our community and will keep fighting for you every day.

Remember when British Columbians had to pay MSP Premiums in order to access our Public Healthcare system...waay back in 2017?
It cost a Single Adult $900 per year
BC NDP eliminated MSP payments...saving that adult (you?) about $9,000 over 10 years

David Eby says if the BC NDP is re-elected he would introduce a new tax on unsold condominiums & hike the existing speculation/vacancy tax (potentially unlocking abt 5,000 condos) to improve housing affordability

Because voters know that Lorne Doerksen (nice guy) can barely keep a lid on the crazies inside his caucus.
Just today, star @Conservative_BC candidate @NVanCaroline was in the press talking up her support for a "culture war" nationalpost.com/news/canada…
It's why "normie" Doerksen had to commit to a fight with First Nations as his first priority if elected.
@Conservative_BC is not going to focused on a Team Canada approach to rebuilding and reorienting our economy. They're going to be focused on dividing Canadians and BCers
The BC Conservatives are not ready to govern themselves, much less the Province of British Columbia.

The BC Conservatives have gone through four leaders in 10 months. Now, isn't this a picture of “stability”? Who wouldn't want a government like this? 🥴🙄
How anybody can put their trust in the BC Conservatives must make them a total sucker.
If you’re trying to explain to a normie how the Conservative Party of BC went through four leaders in ten months (December 2025-September 2026), here’s an explainer:
