  1. #SurreyBC mayoral candidate Linda Annis and two other Metro #Vancouver city councillors are slamming #BCPremier #DavidEby for "quietly abandoning" a review related to the North Shore #WastewaterTreatment Plant Project and its billions of dollars in cost overruns.

    Councillors Annis, Daniel Fontaine (New Westminster) and Kash Heed (Richmond) issued a joint press release Sept. 9 expressing "outrage" after receiving a letter Sept. 5 from Assistant Deputy Minister Tara Faganello they say indicates the provincial government won't pursue an inquiry or review and "expects the matter to resume only after litigation between Metro Vancouver and Acciona concludes—a trial that is not expected to begin for years and may never occur if an out-of-court settlement is reached."

    “We’ve now seen the letter, and it confirms what we feared—Premier Eby has quietly backed away from his commitment to transparency,” Annis said. “This project is over $3 billion off the rails, and instead of taking action, the Province is washing its hands of responsibility. That’s just not acceptable.”

  2. #BCNDP unelected & current #BCPremier #DavidEby flips on forced treatment/involuntary care. They're leaning more to the right - taking same policy positions on addiction & mental health as the BC #Conservatives 👎People need mental wellness services to be included under Pharmacare because it hasn't been included. People can't afford to access many services that would help them a lot. There's long wait lists for the very few free to access programs. We need better funding for public health that includes mental health & addictions because they're interconnected.

    [ #BritishColumbia will be opening secure facilities to provide #InvoluntaryCare under the #MentalHealth Act for those with severe #addictions who are mentally ill, the premier announced Sunday, just days ahead of the start of a provincial election campaign.

    David Eby pledged the #NDP would change the law in the next legislative session to "provide clarity and ensure that people, including youth, can and should receive care when they are unable to seek it themselves."

    "People with addiction challenges, brain injuries and mental-health issues need compassionate care and direct and assertive intervention to help them stabilize and rebuild a meaningful life," he said in a news release.]

  7. @CelloMomOnCars One of #BCNDP #BCNewDeathParty former #BCForestry top officials, left BC & works for #Drax. Our former #BCPremier #JohnHorgan lied about taking early retirement to focus on health & family but he was actually going to work for ecocide coal company. That coal company has netted multiple fines for pollution/environmental violations & current premier was groomed by Horgan.

    #BlameBCNDP because they are corrupted. They're responsible for ecocide here & involved in ecocide outside of BC too.

  8. Briefly: Payments to #BCNDP #BCPremier DavidEby’s #HealthAdvisor were #hidden under a numbered company in the annual sunshine list.
    Penny Ballem, who is also chair of #VancouverCoastalHealth, billed nearly $300,000 last year, exceeding #HealthMinister #AdrianDix’s salary.
    The #PublicAccounts also reveal payments to NDP-aligned #advertising agencies and high salaries to #CrownCorporation heads.

  9. @Susan60 @datum @MxVerda Heavier penalties needed. Won't happen in BC because of huge conflicts of interest with former premier working for this ecocide corporation while still pulling political strings with shitass #BCNDP government. Horgan groomed current sellout #BCPremier #EbyTheEnabler.

  10. *I've never voted Conservative & never plan to.
    That said, I agree with Rustad, on this specific issue. Eby needs to step up & help #BCFruitGrowers & stop ignoring the #FruitFarmers - they've been suffering without help from #BCgovernment.*

    #JohnRustad has reached out to #BCPremier #DavidEby asking to join forces to find a #NonPartisan solution to the #crisis that has befallen #FruitGrowers in the #BritishColumbia following the abrupt shutdown of the #BCTreeFruit #cooperative.

    In a letter sent to #VictoriaBC on Thursday, the Conservative leader called on his #BCNDP counterpart to rise above politics and work with him to ensure growers do not suffer in the short or long term.

    The #BCTreeFruitsCoOp announced last month that it would be ceasing operations after nearly nine decades in business. The board of directors decided that as a result of "extremely low estimated fruit volumes and difficult marketing conditions," stakeholders would likely not receive adequate returns.

  11. *Related to my post from yesterday.

    #BCNDP's #HousingHub program is coming under #scrutiny after one #TaxpayerSubsidized #RentalBuilding in #Vancouver's #Kitsilano neighbourhood, touted as "affordable", is now listing units for $2,600 per month for a studio & $4,200 per month for a 2 bedroom unit.

    The listed #RentalPrices are well above provincial #AffordableHousing thresholds & one #housing #researcher says it's an example of how difficult it is to build #AffordableRental buildings when market prices are so far beyond what average #renters can afford.

    The leader of the #BCGreenParty called it an "infuriating" #misuse of #TaxpayerDollars.

    The #BCNDPgovernment provided a $31.8 million #LowInterestLoan to Vancouver developer #JamesonDevelopmentCorp. for the 68-unit rental building through the HousingHub program, which is aimed at providing housing to middle-income renters shut out of the real estate market.

    #BCPremier #DavidEby, who was the minister -responsible for housing at the time, was quoted in a December 2021 government news release announcing the project.

    "Our government is investing in more affordable housing for people who work and live in Vancouver, and throughout B.C." he said.

    The building at 1807 Larch St., called the L2, is set to be complete next month & is now advertising units.

    According to the building's website, a 400-square foot studio apartment starts at $2,599 a month & a 840-square foot two-bedroom, two-bath unit is listed for $4,299 a month.

  12. @gemelliz I wish BC privacy commissioners forced #JohnHorgan to hand over his private phone records too. Starting from his corrupt days as casino lobbyist to entire time as corrupt #BCPremier under #BCNDP #NewDeathParty

  13. If you're in #BritishColumbia - read this. Especially if you were ever a Horganized crimes against humanity supporter. For folks still unaware, past #BCNDP #BCPremier quit & used #cronyism to get his groomed guy Eby in. Horgan lied about why he quit & told public it was to take better care of his health & spend more time w/family. He's working as a #Coalindustry consultant now.

    I predicted he'd #hoodwink ppl just like this, over 2 yrs ago. I predicted he'd lie/quit & work for #ecocidal corp.

  14. #DavidEby is a #Horganized #manboy #groomed for years by #JohnHorgan - one of the #sleaziest people I've met in my life. Met this #corrupt #narcissistic #opportunist in 90s - #Reminding #BritishColumbia folks - he was a #CasinoLobbyist when I met him. Bribed via backroom #lobbying to shove slot machines & more casinos in places - when community stated they don't want them. Eby never added his #DaddyHorgan to his casino corruption #investigation & became #BCPremier in #kingmaking sleazy move.

  15. Several #BritishColumbia #politicians who should be in #jail 👌Former #BCGovernment #BCNDP #BCPremier #JohnHorgan is one of those #PublicOffice #criminals who should actually be in jail instead of collecting a taxpayer funded 6 figure #pension .
    #EastIndian community who gave him #AntiRacism award in #Vancouver / #SurreyBC should be #ashamed of themselves but they don't care about #Indigenous #humanrights & I #LostRespect for their #capitalist assn. after seeing their #colonizer buttkissing BS 💩

  16. Some friends are due back in BC Supreme Court next month. For charges laid in 2021 - almost all arrests were illegal under federal & international laws - under #JohnHorgan #BCNDP #NewDeathParty leadership & with new #BCPremier being ok - violated international laws. #OldGrowth is still being #clearcut in #BritishColumbia as I type.
    I'll be posting #drumming ceremony that I'm organizing for Feb. We'll also be honouring murdered POC teen at same bridge they killed her at.
