Eby to keep spending

Post by SAILINGONE »

Eby resolves to keep spending in new year, making most of forecast budget windfall.

https://www.castanet.net/news/BC/403820 ... t-windfall.

No surprise when the progressive woke WEF globalists are set on the big reset, where you own nothing and you will be happy.
Eby, another Klaus Schwab graduate, is happy, along with blackface and other extreme lefties, who think governments know what is best for the people, by confiscating the fruits of your hard labour.
From the comforts of their home offices they waste your hard earned money, expanding their lucratif gig and hire even more wasteful gatekeepers. who together take most of the loot.
They make sure there is just enough scraps left over, for the totally dependant subjects, to keep begging for more.
Examples what will be the end goal for these marxists are plenty, regimes like china, russia, Venezuela, NK and every other dictatorship will hopeful wake up the silent majority and prevent this from happening in the next election, if it is not to late already.

And if that spending becomes a yearly expenditure, part of government operations, then, when tax revenue contracts the continual deficits are now the talk of the day. NDP will not cut services so just more tax and spend.
I guess lawyers don't take any basic business courses.

I like the idea of paying down debt then reducing the servicing of the debt .

Hopefully he doesn’t go spending on any crazy stuff like 1990s ndp did... aka fast-cat BS.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

The KM Pipeline is another great example of mismanaged, overspend, left-wing activists governments think they can do.
Eby was scared enough to not tarnish the inept ndp ers, so no worries the ndp/liberal clowns will do the easy thing with that $5.5 billion surplus and that is creating more useless government payroll positions @ $130,000.00 per public union payroll position so from the comfort of their home office they can create new mainly social issues that simple can never be solved.
With the biggest industry in BC, next to government waste, is the building industry. This industry as it did in 1982 will cave, losing a lot of government confiscation opportunities, so other confiscation opportunities need to be found, like transfer taxes on homes, vehicles, boats and likely an inheritance tax and taxing gains on selling personal assets, like your house.

He's a left wing lunatic with the keys to our bank - of course he's going to spend every last penny on crazy stuff. And then some.

He is going to spend till he is elected out. It's the ndp way. He is trying to buy future votes by spending spending spending. It boils down to are voters outside of the lower mainland smart enough to see past this.

It's the voters in the lower mainland that put the NDP in power. They are the ones who need to see past the fairytales and BS.

I wish that were true, but unfortunately not.

5 million in BC and I thought around 3.5 live in the lower mainland. Another chunk of tax and spenders are on the rock.

Metro Vancouver then add in all the outlying areas, the Island, and we are majorly outnumbered.

The elections are decided in lower mainland not the rest of BC.

2021 Metro Vancouver population is 2.6 million
2021 Fraser Valley population is 295K
2021 Vancouver Island population is 865K

This makes for a total of 3.76 Million in the lower mainland areas while the whole province of BC as of 2021 is just over 5 million population.

So as I said we are outnumbered and almost 4 to 1 at that, anything north of the Fraser Valley.

Good. The elite don't invest unless the conservative governments make projects a P3 or put a toll on something.

Who exactly are you referring to as "elites"?
