The best person for the job should get the job. Period. Today we tabled legislation that would ensure hiring and promotion decisions in the public sector are based on merit, not DEI policies. Mandatory workplace training will be relevant to the roles and responsibilities of the employee, instead of mandatory DEI sessions. Every Albertan deserves a fair shot, and fairness means everyone competes on the same terms.

Each time you hear Carney say “In a more dangerous and divided world,” know that it’s an age-old fear mongering tactic so that you don’t question when he: 1) introduces new laws to limit more of your freedoms 2) spends more of your tax money on government bureaucracies 3) spends more of your tax money outside Canada It’s that simple folks. Hopefully you recognize the pattern next time he does it.

David Eby didn’t honour or value the majority mandate voters gave him less than 2 years ago. He could have been Premier until October 2028. He threw it away and played a cynical political game by calling this election. Frustrated voters in a bad economy called ‘bullshit’.

Thank you, British Columbia. Tonight, you voted for change. You voted for a government that will listen, keep life affordable, and never take your hard-earned money for granted. I want to thank every volunteer who knocked on doors, made calls, and put up signs in the rain. I want to thank our candidates, who stepped forward in a snap election with no time to spare. And I want to thank my wife Shelley and my family for standing beside me every step of the way. To those who didn’t vote for us: I will work just as hard for you. This is your government too. The work starts now. Let’s get to it.

Eby’s decision to call a snap election pretty much sums up the 4 years of his leadership. Total shit show. Conservative majority called just 30 mins after the polls closed.

How can any Liberal MP in their right mind not want to go after the $434.8 million that was wrongly paid out for the Dental Plan. This is taxpayers' hard earned money. The Liberals have no right to not to try to get taxpayer monies back. This is the same as when Ms Joly said it would not be in the best interest of Canadians to recoup the billions "lost" in the Green Energy scandal. When will the Elbows Up crowd get angry over the loss of tax dollars.

Since 2015, the Liberals have spent more than every other government in Canadian history COMBINED. What's really scary is that all that borrowing was done at extremely low interest rates, and now those bonds are rolling over into new, and more expensive, debt. That's not stopping Mark Carney. He's spending more, and faster, than at any time outside of World War II and COVID. The combination of massive deficits and a large national debt, with ever-increasing costs to service that debt, is a genuine threat to the economic future of this country. We've seen this all before too. Guess who pays when the bill comes due? You.

Minister @MarjoriePLC waives repayment of $434.8 million by people who falsely claimed free dentistry under Canada Dental Care Plan. @GovCanHealth reports it covered dentistry for ineligible claimants who already had private coverage. blacklocks.ca/bogus-claims-c… @CdnDentalAssoc #cdnpoli

The Conservative Party of BC stands for a strong and united Canada. Always. David Eby questioning my patriotism is shameful. Invoking soldiers we lost this weekend in an attempt to save his own job is beyond the pale. This is a desperate distraction from his record. While David Eby once again tries to divide British Columbians, we are focussed on uniting to get BC back on track.

This is the biggest failure of the NDP. Since 2019, B.C. private sector jobs grew 3.3%. Public sector jobs grew 46.4%. They chased away private sector investment and created a bloated, and largely unproductive public sector with a $14B deficit.

All the individuals who were close to Justin Trudeau and stuck with him for a decade (or most of it), and who are NOW saying publicly how horrible / unqualified he was... ...owe an explanation to all Canadians as to why they didn't speak up when it would have mattered.

Chrystia Freeland was happy to sit around the cabinet table watching this dysfunction for a decade because she loved the car and driver, the power and the profile. She's no hero. Canadians are paying the price for the disastrous decade she and Justin Trudeau oversaw. For her to now trash Trudeau, even if it is well-deserved, is so disgustingly self-serving. This should serve as a reminder to all Canadians that despite the change at the top, the Carney cabinet and caucus are mostly the same collection of idiots and morons that drove Canada into the ditch it now finds itself in. So badly prepared to withstand a trade war and other global shocks. Screw Freeland.

There is stupid. And then there is David Eby NDP level of stupidity. > Campains on taxing the rich. > NDP campaigned on universal $10/day childcare for every BC family. Also > Sends his kids to a $10/day program while having $500K+ household income. > Freezes the program with only 1 in 10 spaces at $10/day, while 75% of BC kids can't get a licensed spot at any price giving BC families the 🖕 > Attacks BC employers who primarily provide jobs to middle class and low income BC families then takes their kids' spot at affordable childcare facilities for his own kids. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Conservatives are not attacking NDP leader over $10 a day childcare David Eby did this to himself. He is the only one to BLAME for this. Anyone with a BRAIN would have seen this as morally wrong.
