B.C. Premier David Eby spoke on Tuesday morning for the first time since the BC Conservatives elected a new party leader.
Eby was asked about the possibility of a provincial byelection to give the winner, Kerry-Lynne Findlay, the chance to hold a seat in the legislature.
“I don’t know what Ms. Findlay’s plans are as the new leader of the Conservative Party or if any Conservative candidate is planning on stepping aside so that she can run,” Eby said.
“I’ll stay tuned to see what the plan is. I’ll say that from my perspective, the job that she’s applying for right now looks a lot more like MAGA regional manager than the premier of British Columbia. But I’ll stay tuned and hear what her plans are.”

MAGA stands for “Make America Great Again,” which was a slogan that emerged during U.S. President Donald Trump’s election campaign in 2016. Since then, it has become a term used to identify Trump supporters.
“The selection of Kerry-Lynne Finlay by Conservative members, I wish her congratulations; she’s making her priorities clear,” Eby said.
“To me, it looks like she’s focused on dividing people, including her own caucus,” Eby continued. “We know we’ve got more to do, but we also know very clearly what the Conservatives would do, which is to take us back to the bad old days, and British Columbia just can’t afford that.”
Speaking with Global News on Monday, Findlay said she thinks it is ridiculous to be branded MAGA.
“They are the extremists,” she said.
“They’re the ideologues. They’re the ones who would rather invest the taxpayer dime on ideology than prosperity for our citizens… I think it’s ridiculous, and I don’t think people buy it.”
Just imagine how much Eby was bullied as a child. I guess he’s getting his revenge by destroying BC.
Eby destroys Karen-Lynne Findlay in one sentence. Too funny 🤣🤣
Uhh oh the copycat troll isn’t happy. The BC Conservatives have ZERO chance of winning the next election in BC and his internet is down so he can’t jerk off to child porn. Everyone better watch out lol

FU Eby. All you do is name call anyone who doesn’t follow your pathetic ideology. Step down before you completely destroy this province you pathetic, incompetent pos.
Lets make sure those MAGA idiots don’t get in, or else we will have to all pay for our own stuff. Or even worse the province might make actual money and force us to work! no more freebies and tents!!!! No way!!!!

JV is a typical leftist bot. So bought into virtue signalling and idealism. Yeh, money falls from the heavens and the ‘rich’ have secret society weekly meetings to figure out how to oppress the poor lol. BC is falling apart because of all you NDP leftists and crazy ideas.
GETEBYOUT – Still better than that ugly f**king hag the MAGA BC Conservatives just propped up on the podium 🤮🤣
JV spends too much time J’n O to carney pics
Hey Eby. FU. Sincerely all of BC.
Oh look another “I know you are but what am I?” Comeback. Typical response from a MAGA BC Conservative
Bob B is the biggest MAGAtard of them all
@JV – The dulusional one is you. Nothing in Doug’s comment sided with MAGA… keep drinking the Liberal/FN Kool-Aid.
The only thing that constitutes a “MAGA” Canadian is someone who doesnt agree with Liberals… Its full on delusion.
Listen to chicken little Eby crashing out over her. The Sky is falling!!
Her track record is anything but Maga. Conservative moderate yes but not MAGA.
Eby your one useless bloody leader
..the Trump references is not working anymore…good bye lefties.
Doug Brekfaust – You have no love for MAGA yet you sound exactly like a MAGA supporter. Delusional much? Of course you are. You’re Doug Brekfaust
Karen-Lynne Findlay wants BC to stand still because privileged white people aren’t getting what they want. Too funny
Lol it’s so true 🤣🤣
Here’s hoping my neighbor to the west has a new potential leader to try nd straighten things out there. I’m worried it’s too late already though. And of course what does Eby go to, childish name calling. No sense or vision from that guy. Wishing you the best B.C.
David Eby is such a POS. He has destroyed BC. Taken the province to brink of bankruptcy. He will leave politics and the taxpayers of BC will pay him a nice pension for ever.
I have no love for MAGA or DT. That said I don’t see anything in her past political actions that would make me believe she holds similar ideology. She sat on federal human right commission for 5 years.
Just Eny now trying to use scare tactics because he knows he can’t run on his party’s performance record.
Most press outlets seem rate her as a moderator Con.
I hear David is preparing to resign.
He knows it’s over.
Of course Eby would say this. He is scared of Ms Findlay’s appeal after the appalling financial results of his term.
He has no idea of what Ms Findlay is made. My guess she is of stern stuff and hopefully more sensible than he is!
Bye bye Eby!
Eby get rid of dripa and undrip . Treat everyone equally
Anybody criticizing Mr. Eby can barely tie their own shoes. Velcro shoes and a hockey helmet!!!
The BC Liberals have turned into a ridiculous clown show and I would still vote for them over Eby. Nobody has done more to damage our province than the BC NDP. Instead of competent leadership, we get endless whining and name-calling. It is embarrassing, most of all for the people who voted for him
Oh you oppose me (Eby) politically? Quick pull out the low-information leftist playbook, call them MAGA!! Frustrating the immaturity of the left in this country tbh.
Canada is dead!
Death TO MAGA idealism.
“Bob’s your Uncle” down here spouting the same nonsense as every other brainwashed leftist .
Leave it to Eby to spout the leftist propaganda B.S. rather than say something with an ounce of intelligence behind it.
Unbelievable how hollow the heads of these radical leftists are.
Shocking, I wonder where I’ve seen this tactic before
Eby is a looser he has destroyed BC he abd jagmeat are 2 peas in a pod
Mr Eby
I can see why you feel threatened.I won’t go into the laundry list as to why. I met you on the Monday holiday on the way to Bowen Island and the response to a friendly greeting was walking away with no acknowledgment. I respect government but the clear message is BC is ready for a change.
Respectfully
Love Findlay’s response and how she pulled the rug out from Eby. Eby is totally acting like an ideologue and has no arguments of substance. You’re childish Eby. Just the boring “but but but Trump! But but but MAGA” vomit that you usually only see from online public commenting, let-alone a provincial premier. It’s so pathetic.
Every reference to Trump and MAGA they use as an attack on their political opponents just makes these Liberal and NDP pot heads look more like the complete incompetents that they are. Eby, you’re a complete moron.
…looks like the maga paid help is out in force doing damage control…The Cons are divided…after one or two dog whistles to the maga and zealots there will be issues.The massive division Rustad faced is still front and center…
And Eby, ever since he backed down in the face of First Nations opposition, looks like he’s running for head of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs.
Ahh yes. The far left desperate name calling. Invoking the TDS to hide their absolute failure. It’s getting pretty old Davey.
Poor Eby. He knows he’s going down!
And we have Mr. Bean who is doing a stellar job of premier for indigenous. We are wondering about next years deficit. Polymarket is taking bets on 20 Billion. Better have more kids people. Someone gonna need to pay the bill.
Old tall and lanky needs to go! Canada needs a hard line stance on many issues and the left just enable these issues.
Quiet in the cheap seats!!! You lose again…and again…..and again….
More liberal name calling, your a real stand up act Eby!
We need some MAGA here in Canada, maybe then id be able to talk to my neighbor without google translate.
Eby’s plan is to give away all our land.
Stupid lefties always gaslighting the right.
If she is Maga, then you are a Putz Eby. And no, it stands for itself
