MLA John Rustad: Premier Eby Must Apologize to Law Enforcement for Supporting Hateful Protest

 


September 25th, 2023 — VANCOUVER, BC: 

"I have seen video footage from the counter-protest on September 20th which shows organizers chanting hateful rhetoric against British Columbian law enforcement officers. This is deeply disturbing. 

 

"Premier David Eby's BC NDP government, CUPE, and the British Columbia Teachers Federation who endorsed the hateful counter-protest on September 20th owe an apology to British Columbia's Police, RCMP, and Peace Officers. 

 

"Men and women in law enforcement risk their lives everyday to keep our communities safe. It is deeply upsetting to see this government and union backed public display of hate against our Police and RCMP officers. 

 

"In fact, just this past Saturday, NDP politicians took to social media to publicly mourn RCMP Constable Rick O'Brien — Constable O'Brien made the greatest sacrifice while protecting Coquitlam residents, losing his life to keep British Columbians safe. 

 

"Do BC NDP politicians have no shame? 

 

"It is the peak of hypocrisy to support activists chanting hate speech against law enforcement on Wednesday, then to mourn the tragic death of an RCMP officer three days later on Saturday.  

 

"Yet, this is exactly what many BC NDP politicians have done this past week. 

 

"Our men and women in law enforcement are not "killers" and they do not "hate kids". This language is hateful and wrong — Premier David Eby's BC NDP government should not be supporting activists who spread hate and demonize our men and women in law enforcement. 

 

"British Columbians deserve better, and so do our Police and RCMP officers."

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...

Tourists Rack Up $200M in Unpaid Health Bills While BC Patients Wait Years for Care

While British Columbians wait years for basic medical care, the NDP government has allowed non-residents to rack up $200.6 million in unpaid health bills since 2020-2021. New research from SecondStreet.org, obtained through a freedom of information request, revealed that people from outside Canada are coming to BC, receiving health services, and leaving without paying their bills.  The losses span every health region in the province. "British Columbians are not guaranteed timely access to healthcare, be it treatment or diagnostics, and this situation continues to deteriorate under the NDP," said Anna Kindy, MLA for North Island and Critic for Health. "Taxpayers are footing the bill for tourists' health treatments to the tune of over $200 million, enough to cover over 21,000 hip replacements in this province while British Columbians wait months to years for that surgery.” The research found BC has the worst record of any province in Canada examined so far. Under a dec...

NDP Finance Minister Given "F" on Report Card by Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Peter Milobar, MLA for Kamloops Centres and Official Opposition Finance Critic, released the following statement in response to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation's 2026 Finance Minister Report Card, which ranked BC Finance Minister Brenda Bailey dead last among provincial finance ministers in Canada with an overall grade of "F":  "British Columbians didn't need a report card to know things are headed in the wrong direction. They see it every time they pay their bills, try to buy a home, or watch another government deficit pile up. But now an independent national organization has confirmed that NDP Brenda Bailey is the worst-rated finance minister in Canada. "After nearly a decade of decline under this NDP government, British Columbia has become a province where people pay more, government borrows more, and families get less in return. We have some of the highest debt in the country, repeated credit downgrades, and no credible plan to get our finances back on...
