The government's own $2 million review said AHS spends less on management than other provinces. So the government fired the AHS board. Fired it again. Split AHS into four agencies. Split the Health Minister's job into four. Yes, I got lost there too. My goodness. Here's what happened. In order. With the quotes. AHS: FROM THE BEGINNING, Part C

A New Chapter for British Columbia — A Little Optimism, Please. I’ve always considered myself a centrist, generally leaning left when it comes to voting. I believe in fiscal responsibility, social responsibility, equality, individual freedoms, and a government that serves everyone, not just those who voted for it. Yesterday, British Columbians made a significant choice. And while it wasn’t necessarily the outcome I would have chosen, I respect the democratic process and the people who participated in it. We are entering uncertain territory. The BC Conservatives are preparing to govern under an interim leader who was not elected to that position by party members. The party has experienced considerable internal turmoil, leadership changes, and divisions. There have also been troubling public statements and controversies involving some of its members. Those concerns are legitimate. They shouldn’t be ignored, dismissed, or forgotten. But here’s where I want to take a different approach. I genuinely hope they succeed. Not because I’ve suddenly become a Conservative. Not because I’ve abandoned my principles. And certainly not because I’m prepared to overlook rhetoric or policies that conflict with those principles. I hope they succeed because I want British Columbia to succeed. I want better healthcare, affordable housing, a strong economy, responsible spending, thriving businesses, environmental stewardship, and meaningful reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. I want a government that listens, learns, admits mistakes, and recognizes that representing British Columbia means representing all British Columbians. And I want an opposition that holds government accountable through facts, constructive criticism, and meaningful alternatives rather than outrage for the sake of outrage. We don’t yet know how this government will perform. We don’t know how its leadership will evolve or how campaign promises will translate into policy. What we can do is pay attention. Support good decisions. Challenge bad ones. Demand evidence. Expect accountability. And apply those standards consistently, regardless of which party holds power. I’m exhausted by the misinformation, hostility, personal attacks, and endless division that have become so commonplace in political discussions. We can disagree without becoming enemies. We can criticize without demonizing. And we can hope for good outcomes without surrendering our convictions. Being optimistic doesn’t mean being blind. Being critical doesn’t mean being negative. So, congratulations to those who have earned the responsibility of governing British Columbia. The election is over. The responsibility is just beginning. I sincerely hope you rise to the occasion. Our province deserves nothing less. #BCElection2026 #beautifulbritishcolumbia

Premier Smith's press conference begins with a question from Rebel News on if she will appoint an investigator to look into George Soros' interfering in the Alberta referendum and looking into Forever Canadian's "dark money". She uh says no.
