VanRE @vanre33.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It shouldn't be up to working and income generating residents of this province. According to CSA Group in 2024, healthcare for someone younger than <65 years of age costs $2,700/year. For someone 65+ that costs balloons to $12,000/year. 000
VanRE @vanre33.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The one thing that needs to be fixed with our healthcare system - BC is a place where a lot of Canadians prefer to retire. Our healthcare system naturally is strained dealing with older residents that never paid provincial taxes during their working lives. Migrating retirees should foot this bill. 100
VanRE @vanre33.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Hey BC'ers.. how are we feeling about these new taxes? Personally I'm not going to be impacted by this 😂 but I think overall this will actually mobilize more votes for Cons than it would for the NDP. IMHO Eby has been getting bad advice and I'm pretty confident the NDP will lose this election. 100

VanRE @vanre33.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Prices going down had way more to do with interest rates than anything else IMO. I agree with more density around transit hubs but given the current environment, I doubt developers will be able to get any projects of that scale off the ground in the foreseeable future. 010

VanRE @vanre33.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Conservative voters are very motivated to vote in this election. You can't say the same about NDP voters. No one I've talked to has been happy about this snap election, and most of them were NDP voters. 000

VanRE @vanre33.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Can anyone name 3 things the BC NDP has accomplished in the past 2 years? Not including no-brainer things like taking US alcohol off the shelves. Genuinely curious. 320
VanRE @vanre33.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I think I, and many in BC, voted against Rustad in the previous election, rather than for the NDP. And still the election was very close. 230
VanRE @vanre33.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I liked the Horgan NDP - they did a lot in their first term in office. Since Eby took over, he seems more interested in politicking to stay in power than actually governing for the people. I think this will blow up in Eby's face. 130

VanRE @vanre33.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Canadian here - that's ok. We understand there's no going back to "the way it was" and this will push us harder to increase trade with other nations.
