B.C. Premier David Eby appears at a podium with a sign that reads STANDING STRONG FOR BC. Off to the side is a mockup of a new highway sign that will greet drivers arriving in the province from the United States. The new sign reads "Welcome to British Columbia, Canada. Strong, proud, and will NEVER be the 51st state. Sorry!" I have edited the image to cross out the word "sorry."
