Just now, David Eby confirms that he has his kids in $10/day taxpayer-subsidized daycare. Approx. only 10% of BC daycare spots offer $10/day daycare. Most families who want in can't get a spot. As Premier, Eby earns $227k/year. Eby's wife is a doctor. Their household income is likely well over half a million dollars per year. We don't resent British Columbians who are successful (we want more people to succeed). But where there are wait lists, surely a wealthy family like Eby's shouldn't be taking advantage of $10/day daycare. Think about a working single mother? David Eby deserves the spot more than her?

After David Eby's desperate, callous attempt to use the soldiers killed over the weekend to attack his political opponents, Eby is now in damage control mode. Breaking news Global BC's Legislature Bureau Chief Keith Baldrey: BALDREY: David Eby just phoned me a few minutes ago, Julie, to clarify his comments. He said he had no intention to use the death of the soldiers in a political fashion. That was not what he meant to talk about today. But he's going to be clarifying his remarks at a campaign stop later today in the Okanagan. So obviously an issue that is suddenly blown up in the campaign. And Eby is going to clarify his remarks later today.

Eby went to Kelowna to play 'healthcare hero,' and media rightly called him out for it. REPORTERS: I’m just wondering why this is being made as a campaign announcement today for a good year and both the province and Interior Health have denied it was a problem. I would like you to elaborate a little bit more about the timing of the hospital expansion here. That sixth floor has been sitting empty for well over a decade. There have been calls to get it up and running for quite some time. What is your response to criticism about the optics not looking good here, that you are making this announcement just days before asking people to vote for your party? Just one more quick question here with the announcement at KGH. How are you planning on staffing this new unit? We know there are shortages everywhere. So what's your message to voters who are actually genuinely concerned that some of these pledges that would make a difference in their communities could end up as, you know, “broken promises”?

Desperate David Eby defends his campaign's sleazy attempts to mislead voters with partisan letters that try to look like they're coming from Elections BC. How low can he go? Q: ...the envelope itself, there's no such indication and there's no other indication that it's from the NDP. It says election 2026. It says time sensitive open immediately… it's not hard to imagine that somebody would think it came from Elections BC or some kind of official entity and is not partisan. The only reference to the NDP is the small print on the bottom of the second page. Just wanted to get your reaction. Is that ethical? Is that appropriate? Do you have concerns with that? Or is that, you know, something that you support? EBY: Well, we use a variety of tools to talk to British Columbians. Direct mailers, radio ads, internet ads, press conferences. It is hard to reach people on such important issues like the election.

!["[DRIPA] has not created the security for British Columbians that it was meant to achieve. We are in court everywhere in this province. So the reality is it (DRIPA) has to be repealed."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2107822682100080697/amplify_video_thumb/2107822648013033472/img/6-SRcrmtOvHPkiCt.jpg)
You gotta see this. Here's Don Davies' full speech from the Parliamentary Press Gallery Dinner.

Full section from @ChristyClarkBC. I understand this is a Laurentian tendency but calling Alberta separatism or a referendum stupid and saying Danielle Smith, a duly-elected premier, is "not qualified to be premier of a province" doesn't help the pro-federalist cause.

If Liberals are going to do conservative things Conservatives need to go where Liberals won't follow. That means leaning into social and cultural issues. If Conservatives lead with their strengths like Liberals do with Trump and tariffs, Conservatives can boost their numbers on other issues as well.

If an election were held today Conservatives would not win. What do we need to do before the next election? Win allies. Make fewer enemies and more friends. Reach out to our provincial cousins. Row in the same direction. If we keep picking fights with one another it's not gonna happen.
