Lorne Doerkson couldn't - or wouldn't - answer the most basic question about today's tax promise: how much will it cost? He knows that it will mean healthcare cuts, higher costs for people, or both.

Well when you make a 1.5 Billion dollar rounding error its laughable that you criticize an new incoming government!

British Columbias Financial Wizards hard at Work. Needles Drugs Poverty

It will cost considerably less than another 4 years of orange man bad…

Why are you risking this election if thats the case? You have a majority. You cant be trusted....you are cooked.

What will the NDP have to cut to rectify the 1.8 Billion dollar accounting error in revenue made last month. @bcndp can’t even do “basic” math or bookkeeping. No one should trust this government.

As opposed to the healthcare cuts NDP has already made?

Why are health care cuts inherently bad if bureaucracy leaves people for years on wait lists just to get a family doctor? Is dumping cash into it working? Surely there's a better way of administration that cuts bureaucracy AND focuses on patients instead of administrative bloat?

Hilarious - Desperate Dave and the Eby Bunch are suddenly cost conscious?

Never forget…

And you could have AVOIDED that risk by not calling a $80 Million snap election. Seems like you don't care about those services either. @surfingshreddie @dsimieritsch

What about the 70 million the NDP is costing the taxpayers for a completely unnecessary election? Also will you take responsibility for the false promise of $1000?

why call an election and cost the taxpayers $90mil?

“The other guy can’t reduce the deficit” is a strange attack from a party that won’t reduce it themselves. If the BC NDP wants to campaign on fiscal responsibility, it should start by demonstrating some.

The NDP must never get elected in BC again. All they do is ruin our economy and gaslight BC residents. We are running a huge deficit so why give them another chance

Never forget BCNDP FIRED 6000 healthcare workers

@lisabeare Under NDP, BC debt has tripled and it now costs over $100M in interest payments each month. Each F N month! And, ERs and maternity wards still close and ER and diagnostic wait times are shamefully long

You folks asking what stuff costs has to be one of the funniest things I've heard all week. Took a surplus to a record deficit and now asking others about cost. No one would believe it if it weren't in writing....

It is become extremely funny with all your posts, its either 1) orange man bad, he has been the problem for BC or 2) Conservatives are worse. Is there a reason you aren't able to post about what YOUR party has actually done while in power?

BCNDP spreading misinformation not based on facts.

Why don't you answer the question how you guys had a surplus and now in record deficit?

We're very familiar with your healthcare and how it has cost British Columbians, trust.

Remember your accounting error that cost British Columbians $1.5 billion? That was discovered long after you tabled a record setting budget deficit. Eby and the NDP pissed away the surplus John Horgan left and there’s no end in sight for the financial mismanagement. #neverNDP

You have given us the most self serving, deceitful, opportunistic and incompetent premier in the history of BC. You called this snap election because your record sucks and you didn’t want a fair election. You have no integrity. Everyone in BC is failed by thIS NDP government.

Now you guys care about what things cost?

What’s this? 👇🤷🏻‍♀️

Push this guy so the exteme right wing come out.of the closet

Just like the NDP, they refuse to answer questions about their record. Why? Because that record is a disaster, defined by mismanagement, incompetence, and failure.

@Grok please provide British Columbia's projected budget deficit for the 2026/27 fiscal year.

Baseless NDP fear mongering. Your 90+ million dollar un-wanted election will cut into the health care or education budget and or increase our already record NDP debt load.

This IS the NDP in a Nutshell . Lazy , Do-Nothing Hypocrites .

Yup, folks on talk radio were laughing over this one and callers noted NDP Lies. There's tons of *slimy fat* that can be trimmed off ridiculous NDP wasting of money. Remember when EBY promised $1000 to every family if he was elected? Then gave his MLSs big raises instead?

I think you should sit this one out between all the emergency closures, and the wait lines. You destroyed British Columbia healthcare.

Lmfao. You took on a surplus and now you’re costing us billions every year along with the 80 million for this uneeded snap election. Take a fuckin seat, you have nothing to criticize. People fell for your propaganda last time. It’s not gonna happen again.
