Eby, unfortunately feels he has absolute power. The last B.C. election had a lot of questions about the legitimacy of the count and he still only got in by the skin of his teeth. If he continues to use his poor judgement Kissing up to mark, his political career could come to an abrupt end very soon. Much like mark, Eby could care less about the future of BC and Canada.

The lefties of this country have no shame in how elections are run and/or tabulated. Dishonesty and shamelessness are a way of life.

as we have witnessed recently in Canada and BC, we have a coalition govt once again: federally we have the Liberals/NDP/Bloc/Greens voting against the CPC and in BC we have the NDP/Liberals/Greens voting against our conservatives. As we also seen with the criminal Trudeau years, there is no hope to rid these parasitic vermin from our HOC or parliament. They have bought up all the opposition parties to help create a majority govt...and it does work for them...look at the POS Singh! Why is the Bloc a national party? Why is Betty May allowed to lead the greens after she has been arrested? why are the vote counts so messed up? Why do they take so long to complete the vote counting? Canada is over, socialism does not work, so the next obvious step for these parasitic politicians is the introduction of authoritarianism and here we are...Canadians have no one to blame but themselves for proving there are politically inept at making a well informed decision! Time for the west to separate, time to redraw Canada's borders, time to put the west's interest's before the woke interest of this unflushed toilet we call Canada!

Provincial Teachers should rebuke the Federal Liberals for allowing too many immigrants which has increased classroom sizes. Let us not forget that many do not fully understand English.

Ask Eby how much Carney is paying him to be the “patsy” in this no pipeline episode?? Just like it’s now common knowledge, thanks to Sam Cooper, that it’s really Ottawa promoting and lending big bucks to China to build BC ferries….they have known and authorized this since last spring. But Eby is played for the fall guy! What a totally inept ass this guy really is! Sell your soul and every ounce of reputation for the Ottawa sleaze!! There must be some big buck paybacks trading around here!!!!

Just what would happen if a Maritime province followed Eby's lead and demanded tankers be banned from the East Coast. Be kinda rough on Quebec as well as the refineries in Montreal and Quebec City.

Eby is an NDP’er and couldn’t balance a budget if his life depended on it. He has no economic experience and it shows in his province’s poor financial state. Another lefty whose place would be better served on a back bench.

How about all schools get reclassified to Charter schools. The ATA becomes more irrelevant than they are now. And the teachers that really want to teach for all the right reasons will get to teach without the burden of a useless union. Side note to all this is a union has money from dues to support its members during a labour disruption but for a union that hasn’t taken job action in 23 years , they don’t have any cash to support the people that are forced to cut them in.

Conclusion the ATA is a disgrace to employees and employers everywhere.

Correction, Eby can not restrict the oil tankers that are constantly shipping up and down the west coast of BC. Mostly USA oil tankers, but some other countries as well. BC has no jurisdiction over federally controlled shipping, so he is just yapping.

Right now the feds are weirdly interested in restricting the economy of Canada for some reason, and therefore Alberta is the main target. No doubt with Eby in BC the feds hardly have to do any restricting, Eby does it for them all by his self.

There has been a consensus among Western elites for 50+ years to scale back the gains made by the masses in achieving a better standard of living as a result of our society's shift from hereditary rule to representative democracy. Cheap energy, quality education, a strong manufacturing base, and technological innovation all contribute to the elevation of the masses from poverty.

Since the 1970s successive governments have attacked all of these things in Canada and accross the West. "Free Trade" agreements have moved all of our manufacturing to poorer countries. Our education systems have eliminated any content that encourages critical thinking and simply indoctrinates children now. Universities focus their curricula on the social sciences instead of on hard sciences that might lead to technological innovation. The Green New Deal agenda is a con to steer us away from cheap oil & gas to technologies that will produce far less energy. They've destroyed our nuclear energy capacities.

The goal is a return to a more feudal-like society where the very few own everything and the masses live in servitude. It's what is called the "globalist" agenda. It means the elites of Britain, the US, France, Canada and the other nations of the West are more bonded to each other than to the people of their own nations. They seek a strong, centralized technocratic global government, behind which they pull all the strings. A world where "You will own nothing and you will be happy" as the WEF slogan of 2020 said.

The Liberal and NDP parties of Canada are under the control of globalists. The Conservatives - more or less. Poilievre defeated the globalist candidate Jean Charest in the leadership race. That's why the globalist controlled media constantly slam him. Same for Danielle Smith, in Alberta. These 2 leaders are nationalists. They want resource development to contribute to the national wealth and create jobs. They want an economy that promotes technological development and innovation that help improve the lives of the citizenry. Their's is the antithesis of the globalist agenda. The media slams them as populists - as if being popular is a bad thing. It is, if you are an elitist, and so the media exposes their bias when they use this language. Their preferred slurs are extreme right, or alt-right, or racist, sexist, fascist...

Eby and Carney and Legault are all working together serving their Laurentian elite masters in trying to keep Alberta's oil in the ground.

There are no political parties that are free of globalist influence. When you vote, ignore the parties. Look instead to see if the candidates promote a nationalist or a globalist agenda and vote accordingly.

I have been teaching in for the last 30 years, even teaching past retirement. I have witnessed over the last 10 years especially, too many dysregulated students, dysregulated parents and dysregulated teachers. In my opinion, there is a breakdown in the desire to connect and really care, one person to another, across society in general. There seems to be a great deal of blame being passed around. Instead, I wonder what would happen if currently, the public education system placed less focus on gender ideologies, and aboriginal issues and more on reading , writing and math skills? I think teachers would feel less stressed at trying to be everything to everybody, if they could feel free to teach students how to think critically within those basic skills.

As far as Charter Schools go, I am not sure if that would make difference in the quality of student education..

Danielle needs to get on board with Independence because she will get the same result as we always have had from Ottawa for the past 50 years.

Interest on outstanding debt $1.30 Trillion or, $1.0 Billion + per week is unsustainable for much longer. Now, Include provincial and municipal debts and the impact is much worse.

All governments at all levels require major reforms, overhauls and new leadership.

Carny and Eby seem to think that Danielle Smith will be easy to walk all over. They should rethink their dealings with her. She has come up with a lot of good ideas to help keep Canada as our country. Eby had a tantrum over her pipeline idea and Carny has not shown any interest nor support. What has he done for Canada (NOTHING)
