If true, these budget rumours would be a big deal for small business. CFIB has been pushing hard for a reduction in the small business corporate rate from 9 to 6%. In addition, for more than a decade, we've been calling for a lower rate of EI premiums for smaller payrolls. We've suggested smaller firms have their EI rate tied 1:1 with the employee rate, rather than the current 1.4 multiplier. Fingers crossed for Nov 5.

Docs labeled “confidential” just 2 weeks before snap elxn show @bcndp has committed to hand over 400 parcels of Crown land to First Nations, and craft a law to limit compensation to forest companies for loss of logging rights.

Eby: "We've met minimum standards. Re-elect us."
Aim higher BC. You deserve so much better.
Vote for change. Vote Conservative.

"To ensure that BC's economic, cultural, and geographical diversity is represented and well balanced, the ministry will prioritize selection of centres from... "applicants that deliver majority of child care services to low income families in the area."

Eby REJECTED the Carney Governments handout for a complete removal of the GST just a few months ago. BC had the same offer Ontario received and accepted.
Instead Eby opted for a rent-to-own "condo bailout" scheme instead.

NEW - BC's market, non-market and non-profit housing orgs, in a rare move, unite to call on BC political parties in election to demand a GST exemption on new homes for all buyers, restore the cut community housing fund, reinvest rental funding, and reduce DCCs.

This literally makes me want to puke. Mr. Premier, your family earns what, $700K+ per year? And you're getting $10/day daycare? Meanwhile, I'm paying $1,600/month (>$19,000 per year), of after-tax dollars, to send my kid to daycare, while my taxes subsidize yours.

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?

British Columbia has been downgraded five times since 2022, from AAA to A with a negative outlook...
Four remain until we're no longer investment grade.

Nearly half of BC small businesses say personal income taxes should be a top priority for tax cuts, not tax increases. 📈
BC has also de-indexed its tax brackets, meaning every person faces a hidden inflation tax increase each year.
The province is currently facing an entrepreneurial drought, with business exits outpacing business entries.
All parties should be focused on reducing the cost of doing business in BC to reveerse this trend. #bcpoli
Context: This would raise BC to the highest income tax rate since 1981, and make the province (by a decent margin) the highest tax rate jurisdiction in Canada. The gap with Alberta would be back at 1990s levels.

B.C. can and should be an absolute powerhouse.
But after 9 years of NDP government, B.C. families and our province's economy are falling further and further behind.
On October 24th, join me in standing up for change in B.C.

Spent the day in Sunset, home to so much of Vancouver-Langara's Punjabi community, and was welcomed like family everywhere we went.
It was a day full of great food, great people and plenty of signatures on my nomination papers. Thank you 💙

Do you want to know how MASSIVE the fentanyl consumption is in Vancouver⁉️
The amount of norfentanyl (the compound the body produces after fentanyl is used) measured in Metro Vancouver's sewage is 10x greater than the average across Canada.
Insane.

This is greasy stuff and will backfire.
