“Under an NDP government, British Columbians are stuck waiting for crumbs, Under a Conservative government, they’ll finally see meaningful relief.”— John Rustad, Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia
November 27th, VICTORIA, BC – VICTORIA, BC – John Rustad, Leader
of the Conservative Party of British Columbia, slammed Premier David Eby
today for his failure to deliver on his election promises, leaving
British Columbians struggling to make ends meet
while his government dithers.
“David Eby has once again proven that his word is
worthless. He promised British Columbians relief during his election
campaign, but now he’s telling them to wait until March at the earliest
for the $500-$1,000 affordability cheques he
loudly touted,” said Rustad. “Eby’s government claims legislation is
needed in February, but anyone paying attention knows the NDP’s record
on delays. It’ll likely be much later—if it happens at all.”
Rustad also took aim at Eby’s refusal to expand tax
exemptions for British Columbians despite the federal government’s
recent GST cuts on new rental housing. “Eby is ‘frustrated’ that
provinces with the HST get a better deal, but frustration
doesn’t help families struggling with rising costs. He had the chance
to cut taxes and make life easier for British Columbians, but he
flat-out refused,” Rustad said.
“David Eby talks a big game about affordability,
but his actions show he doesn’t care. His so-called ‘income tax cut’
will barely scratch the surface of what families are facing, and his
refusal to exempt more items from the PST is a slap
in the face to hardworking British Columbians. While other provinces
are stepping up, Eby is sitting on his hands, blaming everyone but
himself.”
Rustad pointed out that British Columbians are
already burdened by David Eby’s tax on everything, including the
punishing carbon tax, which drives up the cost of everyday essentials.
“Eby promised affordability, but all he’s delivered is
more taxes, more delays, and more broken promises. British Columbians
deserve leadership that will act now, not vague promises that might
happen months—or years—down the road,” said Rustad.
The Conservative Party of British Columbia are
committed to real action on affordability, including axing the carbon
tax, lowering car insurance rates, and delivering immediate relief to
families. “Under an NDP government, British Columbians
are stuck waiting for crumbs,” Rustad concluded. “Under a Conservative
government, they’ll finally see meaningful relief.”
