It 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.

The 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.

Hey 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.

Should have thought of that before calling a snap election no one wanted, no?

Prices 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.

Well, after some thought I've got one. They've done a decent job of recruiting international doctors. I was finally able to get a new family doctor in my neighbourhood. I had 2 nearby options when I went looking, both recently moved from the U.S.

Conservative 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.

Can 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.

I 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.

I 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.

Perhaps instead of rage-baiting about things that aren't even happening, PP and his crew should worry more about losing more Conservative seats to the Liberals.

Canadian 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. It will be painful, but it's necessary. See Ipsos poll below. Canadians are under no illusion that this will go away anytime soon.

Their party is bleeding support and losing MPs but they want to keep doubling down on this stuff, so be it. I feel like the rest of the country has generally moved on and are rallying behind Carney, outside of the Maple MAGA base that will never support him regardless.
