Her doctor recommended continued treatment. The issue is payment for the recommended medication. The legislation dealing with expensive drugs for rare diseases allows the minister of health to decide if they will pay for the drugs. The @bcndp answer was no.

Eby is heartless. And he’s too much of a slimy coward to come right out and say it plainly: “No, the BC NDP will not pay for Charleigh’s treatment.” Awful

David Eby is INTENTIONALLY obfuscating what is happening in this case! Charleigh’s caregivers and doctors say she is stable and doing well on the treatment - it is the GOVERNMENT who is interfering to pull her off care, essentially giving her a death sentence. People with MS or cancer would be terminal too without treatment, you can’t just say they’re unhelpable while ripping life saving treatment from them. This is happening becuase Charleigh is a disabled child, period. It is discrimination. And you can bet if it was Eby’s child, nobody would be taking her off treatment prematurely. This is nothing short of murder.

@Lalee41660792 It is a politicians' job to intervene when policy is flawed.

Also, he is trying to manipulate the media and the public by repeatedly calling her terminal. He is twisting the situation to try and make it look like he’s not personally condemning a disabled child to death, which he, Josie Osborne, and everyone else in a position of power is.

Eby has the self-awareness of a cockroaches arsehole.

Eby: Says he does not favour intervening to supply life-saving medicine to a child. Also Eby: The man accused in the Lapu Lapu Day festival rampage should “spend the rest of his goddamn life in jail.” Intervention by swaying opinion, or vocal outrage only for some.

🇨🇦🛢️🏭 : BC Premier David Eby says he is open to building a refinery in British Columbia to cut off imports of oil & gas from the USA. He announced this after being asked if he would lift the tanker ban across the Northern BC Coast. Eby says the TMX expansion is not being utilized at capacity and thus he sees no need for a new taxpayer funded pipeline. David also says there is no offer from the private sector to build a pipeline. Enbridge wanted to build the Northern Gateway pipeline 10 years ago. We also had a private offer to build a multi billion $ refinery in Kitimat. Both projects were cancelled because Justin Trudeau & David Eby made it impossible for private investors. In the case of the Northern Gateway pipeline, Justin Trudeau cancelled it in 2016 despite that line having First Nation consent & billions in equity shares in the line. Something I have posted about repeatedly, including a few days ago. Enbridge also spent $1 billion on consultations and environmental impact assessments, only to have the new Liberal government ax the project anyways. Once the BC NDP came to power, they made it next to impossible for a refinery project to be built by ensuring the process would cost far too much, while having too much uncertainty, to be viable. We lost a decade of prosperity because of Justin Trudeau's Liberals & the BC NDP pushing their self serving agendas. Only to now watch David Eby backtrack 10 years later. This should infuriate everyone. We could have had that refinery built by now and be domestically benefitting from & exporting premium jet fuel, gasoline, diesel & various types of crude. The reality is, David Eby is a failure & should be stepping down so a competent government can take over.
