The NDP’s election campaign in British Columbia has moved on from the threat of Donald Trump’s tariffs to focus on affordability issues.
When NDP Leader David Eby called the snap election on Sept. 22, he said British Columbia needed a “firebreak” against Trump’s economic attacks and Trump-style politics, which he said were threatening to infect the province.
But Eby says he accepts that not everyone shares his anxieties about the U.S. president, even as Trump’s actions make B.C.’s challenges much worse.

He says the key matter for voters on Oct. 24 will be deciding which party can support families during these tough times.
Interim B.C. Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson said at the start of the campaign that Trump is an “absolute bully,” and that standing up to him requires action, not press releases.

Eby says he is trying to express his own sense of anxiety about Trump’s threats as best as he can, and while not everybody shares his concerns, there is no question Trump’s actions continue to have an impact on British Columbians.
“Whether you believe and accept that Trump is making it much worse, it doesn’t matter because you’re still understanding that the cost of living is significant, that we need a strong public health-care system if you and your family get sick,” he said on Tuesday.
Spin your delusions about what you are gonna do about health care all you want the fact is the NDP has been a complete failure the money spent on health was nothing but a bandaid on a amputation I was without a doctor for 6 years and when I finally got one he left after 9 months and put me back on the list which is over a million strong now my chance of getting a doc again in my lifetime is one in a million so if I were you I would stop spinning some health care plan you can’t deliver we are not all stupid
Davy Ebum is a gonner lol.
The people are finally rising up and ridding the world of corrupt Communists like David Eby. This may be one of the biggest political backfires ever. Good.
The greatest threat to the province is the BC NDP
DRIPA and the debt, the healthcare system in life support
That’s all Eby. Not Trump
Trump is an outragious character but actually is a fairly easy guy to make a deal with. Basic play is make huge demands and chirp the otherside, expect the same in return, meet and negotiate a fair deal, move on. Our thin skinned elbows up crowd doesn’t get it and flushes prosperity down the drain. Eby epitomizes this.
Hahahah the f *ucking losing gimp Eby is now trying to pivot away from his “Trump-f *ucked-everything” campaign and it’s not gonna work. You’re a useless f *ucking sh *t bag who’s done nothing for the province and called a useless election. You’re goin down hard, b itch!
Eby is the greatest threat to this Province, not Trump. He, like all leftists ,refuses to accept accountability for his failures and is simply using Trump as a scapegoat,and the Ebyozos will lap it up and vote NDP.
Eby’s greatest foe isnt Trump, he’s on the other side of the mirror.
