Yes, BC is quite a bit more expensive taxwise than Alberta for individuals. (BC = "Bring Cash").
Eby has been a mess and the province as well since he took over - that is for sure. But he's not a nutbar like the new AB premier.
Will all this crap translate to hundreds of millions for Murray Edwards and the CSEC gang? Who knows? Will Van now want a new arena? LOL.

Eby is a complete disaster...but I do think John from Langford was pretty even keel. I think his government did OK during covid, but I think that he definitely made some mistakes (but so did everyone).
It was a rough go for me and my family during Covid. It was not easy to stay in hotels and live, but that was partly my fault for taking on 2 new children in my care and giving up my space in my foster/group home. The need for beds and people willing to take on more during covid was just so high though and I couldn't say no. I felt the closures and restrictions a lot. My kids in care really struggled with out their programs.
But that's over now and it's mostly the current NDP that concerns me and the lack of a real alternative. The amount of open drug use in family areas is pretty nuts right now. And it's leading to serious safety risks for everyone.lack of doctors, cost of daily living ect.
Don't even get me started on the debacle at bc housing, bc ferries and ICBC lol
