WTH are we STILL changing the time every year. We don’t need to wait for the US to smarten up - they’re getting dumber by the day with the orange bafoon. STOP THE MADNESS and stick to Daylight savings time next year!! #bcpoli

β€˜Disgusting’: Plan to slash B.C. pipelines’ taxable value could hit local revenues Finance Minister Brenda Bailey says she’ll look into a plan by BC Assessment that would cut the taxable value of pipeline and other projects in a move that has angered some local officials.

"...BC Assessment had worked on the policy with an industry group that includes Enbridge, TC Energy, and Trans Mountain, representing about 90 per cent of the pipelines in B.C. by value."

So... are we letting them decide how much tax they should pay, or?

BC Residents May Have to Cover a Property Tax Break for Pipelines | The Tyee After lobbying, BC Assessment slashed its appraisals of the industry’s infrastructure.

But sure... BC opposition to pipelines is just 'ideological'...

It goes beyond Rustad though - Milobar knew who he was getting into business with - none of what's happened to the BC Conservatives is all that surprising yet Milobar chose to stick with them.

Of course Rustad pulls the age-old Conservative tact of questioning the mental health of anyone (and point out the crying of a woman) who dare to question HIS leadership. What a pig #bcpoli

The B.C. Liberals got rid of speed cameras many years ago.

As for the second driving test, very few people actually took it, rather just continued for years as a β€œnew” driver with the restriction of only one non-family passenger. Better to merge the 2 tests into 1 stronger version I think. #bcpoli

Hardest part is fruits and vegitables as many come from the USA right now - but it is possible. It takes work, I know. However, STOP BUYING USA PRODUCTS!!! Tell the stores you visit to do the same! #CdnPoli #BCPoli

B.C. Premier David Eby is clearly beyond frustrated with Danielle Smith's pipeline dreams threatening the B.C. economy.

In a fiery statement, he called her out directly stating...

"This is not the Danielle Smith show!"

We fact-checked residential school denialists and debunked their β€˜mass grave hoax’ theory Contrary to what some β€˜denialists’ believe, research shows that Canadian media outlets did not help circulate a β€˜mass grave hoax’ regarding unmarked graves at former Indian Residential Schools.
