Thanks for your 'patience,' Eby says to public over B.C. workers strike British Columbia's premier says it's been a frustrating time for residents as a public service workers dispute drags into its seventh week, but he appreciates their patience.

Can we all stop framing this as a liquor/cannabis strike please. It affects 20(!) ministries +crown corps & the people they serve. Service BC, PSE, housing, transit, health courts + more! So get your shit together #BCPoli & pay them properly. ithttps://share.google/bgkk2G8ZC4DifNWuw

In OneBCโ€™s World, Political Opposition Is Branded as Harassment | The Tyee The partyโ€™s message isnโ€™t about fixing whatโ€™s broken. Itโ€™s about creating fear and resentment.

@queergranddad.bsky.social: This is the classic populist playbook: sow grievance, divide communities and promise to โ€œrestoreโ€ morality.

OneBC party leader Dallas Brodieโ€™s message isnโ€™t about fixing whatโ€™s broken โ€” itโ€™s about convincing people itโ€™s broken so they can offer themselves as the cure.

Even if the Liberals don't use this bill to prevent protesting, what will stop a future government from doing that?

Imagine if the Conservatives are elected into power. Do we trust them to restrain themselves?
