BC’s Opposition Conservatives have been talking with Alberta about pipeline: Rustad (CTV)

The leader of British Columbia’s Official Opposition says his party has been talking with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith about her plans to build a pipeline to BC’s northern coast.

BC Conservative Leader John Rustad says he has “of course been talking” with Smith about the proposed pipeline, adding he has also been talking with Saskatchewan and “all kinds of people” about the proposal.

“We need to fight for Canada,” Rustad said. “That is what we are doing as Conservatives.”

Rustad’s comments came after Premier David Eby said the provincial Conservatives have been engaging in what Eby called “secret conversations” with Alberta.

The NDP is destroying BC's softwood industry as 100 Mile House mill shuts down and jobs vanish

“The Premier’s Office is secretly sending letters to my constituents behind my back. If the NDP were truly committed to transparency and supporting residents, they would have proactively engaged with owners years ago, not rushed out last-minute letters to cover their tracks.” ~~ Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General, is criticising Premier David Eby and the NDP provincial government for secretly delivering non-committal, last-minute letters to Richmond residents affected by the Cowichan Tribes land claim. For over six years the NDP misled British Columbians on the implications of indigenous land claims. Premier Eby is now quietly sending staff to conduct damage control following public fallout from his 2019 strategic directive for government lawyers not to argue extinguishment of aboriginal title, even over p...

Kamloops woman’s cancer test cancelled due to Interior Health mandates for OB/GYNs (iNFO News)

A Kamloops woman’s cancer screening appointment was considered urgent by her doctors and scheduled within weeks, but it was postponed indefinitely when Interior Health ordered her gynecologist take that day’s on-call shift.
