"Scrap Step Code & support Built Green based on homebuyer affordability & builder certification. Step Code unwisely enables 180 local govts to demand high levels of Step Code regardless of cost, unintended consequences, or training" vrba.ca/news/housing-advice-… #bcpoli #yyj
"VRBA...would like the provincial govt to limit the cost charges municipalities can set for developers...also look at replacing the Step Code, enforcing interpretation of its own building code & holding municipalities accountable for permit delays" timescolonist.com/local-news… #bcpoli
Mr. Premier, a couple more promises please!
BC needs more than election reform: stabilize Municipal Affairs, modernize local government laws, and reinstate the Auditor General for Local Government.
Taxpayers deserve accountability! @jht4x4

A $50,000 tariff shock. Costly export certifications. Trade barriers between Canadian provinces.
Intellimeter CEO Alberto Quiroz explains why telling manufacturers to “diversify” isn't enough.
Canada needs practical solutions. @jht4x4

Look at today's Mainstreet numbers on public sentiment over the snap itself...
Slight majority disapprove overall, but among those the strongly disapproving dominate at 37.3%.
Only 13.5% strongly approve.
I'm still flummoxed as to why Eby did this now? He had to have known disrupting the municipal campaigns would cause problems. He was specifically warned that it would at the UBCM convention.

Mainstreet is picking up indications consistent with the shift in tone we've seen over the last few days with Eby appealing to Green voters directly.
