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?

We want a fair race. I'm not afraid of a hard fight, and the Conservative party is not one that should be cancelling legitimate contestants. @CPC_HQ should let them run.
Replying to @globeandmail
Leadership hopefuls Joel Etienne, Joseph Bourgault and Grant Abraham were all disqualified from the race, and no explanation was given from the party’s leadership committee as to why the three were disqualified. tgam.ca/3vC8t2D

It appears that the race is on. I’m hoping for a less presumptuous, humbler tone from leadership candidates for the @CPC_HQ ..and more than just short-term western Cdn related policy commitments for greater fairness in the federation. Something more enduring is needed…

We are in agreement with former @CPC_HQ MP Devinder Shory. It is time for @erinotoole to listen to the grassroots and hold a leadership review. Sign the petition: membersvote.ca #cdnpoli #CPCReview2022 @denisebatters

I wanted to keep Andrew as leader because he's not a liar. I also believe young mothers and fathers can become Prime Minister.

The new Massey Bridge should have opened this week. @DailyHiveVan ran this joke (not so funny - kinda sad actually) headline: Opening day: The new 10-lane George Massey Bridge is finally complete! #traffic #jobs #climateaction #truckers

This is also an interesting and peculiar paragraph
SLOBODIAN: O’Toole’s big swing-and-a-miss on CBC - What an interesting and peculiar paragraph. westernstandardonline.com/20…
Have had several conversations with folks who participated in the @CPC_HQ post defeat election review I'm consistently hearing questions are leading to blame the organizational side of the campaign Seem silly - they lost because of the platform, the narrative, & the leader

A former member of the Conservative Party of Canada’s national council is accusing the organization of an “indefensible attempt” to silence thousands of party members who want CPC Leader Erin O’Toole to face a prompt leadership review. #cdnpoli tnc.news/2021/12/05/former-m…

Not in today's release, but we also asked whether people think @JustinTrudeau and @erinotoole will be leaders of their parties in the next election. 62% think Trudeau definitely/probably will run again vs. 33% who think O'Toole will definitely/probably run again. #cdnpoli

We couldn't agree more, Sam. The former @CPC_HQ National Councillor is among the latest to support Senator @denisebatters' petition to expedite @erinotoole's leadership review. Add your voice. Support the petition at membersvote.ca #cdnpoli #CPC
