#bcpoli #BCNews The BC Conservatives ICBC hybrid system will cost you more. A lot more. No more rebates. No more frozen rates. No more reduced rates for low mileage drivers.
Conservative plan for ICBC. The party intends to allow private insurers to compete with ICBC, aiming to drive down costs for drivers. Critics, including NDP Leader David Eby and the Trial Lawyers Association, argue that hybrid models in other provinces like Alberta and Ontario result in significantly higher insurance premiums compared to B.C.’s current no-fault system.

#bcpoli #BCNews Conservatives are anti-vaccine. Their health critic was disciplined for her antivax stance. 3 others have been disciplined. We need health officials who believe in vaccines.
BC Conservatives have faced significant controversy regarding candidates and officials with anti-vaccine stances, particularly during the 2024 and 2026 election cycles. Anna Kindy, the B.C. Conservative Health Critic and North Island candidate, has previously made anti-vaccine comments and received disciplinary letters from the College of Physicians regarding misinformation. Dr. Stephen Malthouse, a B.C. Conservative candidate for Ladysmith-Oceanside, was dropped from the party in 2024 after his medical license was suspended for signing falsified vaccine and mask exemption forms and spreading misinformation at rallies. Dr. Charles Hoffe and Dr. Daniel Nagase, both prominent figures in the B.C. anti-vaccine movement, were investigated by the College of Physicians and Surgeons for spreading misleading claims; Hoffe’s specific citation was later withdrawn in 2025, while Nagase resigned his license. Party leader John Rustad faced scrutiny in 2024 after a video surfaced showing him expressing regret over receiving the COVID-19 vaccine and criticizing public health mandates, leading to criticism from the B.C. NDP.

#BCpoli #BCNews 2: A gas price guard Through the BC Utilities Commission, a price guard would set the maximum price gas stations can charge. Together, these two parts cut prices by up to 30 cents a litre and can save up to $20 every time you fill up the average family vehicle.

#BCpoli #BCNews Rustad also said this: “David Eby is putting at risk the people in this province by threatening a trade war instead of figuring out how you work with the Americans,” Rustad said. The BC Cons will sell us down the river the first chance they get. Rustad is waiting in the wings.

The BCNDP has given BC good government for years now. No corruption, no weekly scandals like the BC Liberals had before they changed their name to BC Conservatives. The right-wing has eaten away at BC's assets for decades and now they want it all. Trump clones they are! #bcpoli #bcnews #cdnpoli
