B.C. Premier David Eby announces more cost-of-living supportsSURREY, B.C. — British Columbia Premier David Eby announced another round of the BC Affordability Credit on Saturday to help offset inflation costs as he marked 100 days at the province's helm. Where will this money come from? $164 per adult * (2016 census) 3,557,740 people is $583,469,360.00 or $0.5Billion // 583 Million. If we are printing it from thin-air, I'm afraid this will drive inflation by increasing the amount of money in the economy without increasing goods. No didn’t. This was info we knew 6 months ago. Bandaids don’t work, weneed an actual increase of housing suppply b4 anything else. NDP has sunk our housing in bc Why do politicians treat their political anniversaries as some sort of time for celebration?
