So Mark Carney's new annual immigration targets of 380,000 permanent residents and 370,000 new temporary residents for 2027-2029, plus up to 200,000 existing temporary residents - totals around 750,000 admissions yearly. For context approximately 3.23 million permanent residents were admitted from 2016 to 2024 (Trudeau), averaging roughly 359,000 per year. So we're doubling the problem?

Dear Netflix n other streaming platforms, why the hell is “continue watching” buried on the 4th or 5th row? Put it FIRST. i was watching the show 30 minutes ago, not 30 business days ago. Why am I searching for it like it’s lost media?

I hope my daughter grows up remembering a house where people laughed a lot. Not a perfect house. But a happy one.

Yeah, this retard is so fucking dumb that he doesn’t realize that our policies serve the Ukrainian people. Pieces of shit like this want the war to continue until every last man in Ukraine has died in a ditch. They are utter scum of the Earth.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. You ruined this province and poetically engineered your own demise. Good fucking riddance.

Feeling so much relief and gratitude that David Eby’s reign of error is over. On record, economy, and political acumen, he must be an all time bottom 5 Canadian premier. Thank you @LDoerkson and the CPBC team! It’s a new day in B.C.

Correct. Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be. Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them. Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week. Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact. Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia. SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR. That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell. End of story.
STARLINK WORKS THE SAME WAY ITS ALWAYS WORKED. ITS NOT A WEAPONS SYSTEM, NO MATTER HOW MUCH UKRAINE WANTS IT TO BE.

The reason rent is coming down is that jobs and people are leaving BC
Behind closed doors, the Conservative leader is promising big developers he’ll rip up our housing plan, the same plan that’s brought rents down faster in B.C. than anywhere else in Canada. We’ve seen this before. When big donors called the tune under Christy Clark, a generation of British Columbians was shut out of owning a home. We can’t go back. Every vote counts tomorrow.

I have to say, David Eby and the NDP have run what is perhaps the worst election campaign of my lifetime. Devoid of any positivity, any coherent rationale for why they deserve to be re-elected. Filled with embarrassing gaffes (see Eby’s $10/day daycare) and a total lack of policy or rhetorical imagination. 31 days into the campaign, they can’t even articulate why they called this election in the first place. All they have left is fearmongering, division and misinformation. Tomorrow, October 24th, let’s vote for a change.

"You inherited a $6 billion surplus from the late John Horgan, and you've since spent more than $20 billion. Despite all that, your critics would say affordability is no better, healthcare is no more accessible, and major transit projects are not yet finished. Mr. Eby, please tell us, where did all that money go?" A great question, without a great answer. But we should trust the NDP to do better this time? BC, it's time for change. Get out and vote.
