Eby, sworn in late last year to replace former premier John Horgan, said the budget introduced by Finance Minister Katrine Conroy will put people first.Article content B.C.’s economy is one of the strongest in Canada and the government will continue to invest in areas that help people despite the prospect of a reduced surplus, Eby said.

“That’s a deficit, too,” he said. “And so making sure we are putting the resources into our communities to make them stronger helps pay off those deficits that were accumulated over many, many years.” “I don’t mind spending more money on programs, but it’s got to be tied to improving results,” he said. “We have to have a government that focuses on improving results, not just making announcements and spending money willy nilly.”

“Those are the kinds of measurements that we would want to see improvement in, where four people a day are being attacked by random strangers in Vancouver,” said Falcon. “We’d like to see that reduced. So, maybe it’s two people a day and then it gets down to nobody. That’s what I would focus on.”

Now the NDP is showing its true colours. Typical. But don’t worry, like his new lunch pal Trudeau believes in, Eby will use the mantra”..and the budget will balance itself”.

Economic illiterate lawyer spends the public’s tax money like a drunk muppet.

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?
