For anyone not keeping up, BC is about to have a election in 2 months. The current opposition party/previous incumbent party is currently polled to be almost completely wiped out in the election by the BC Cons. so this seems like a go for broke maneuver.
A B.C. United government would eliminate the provincial income tax on the first $50,000 earned by every British Columbian, Leader Kevin Falcon announced Tuesday.
The move would save British Columbians an average of $2,050 a year each at a time when people are struggling to afford the rising cost of living, Falcon said.
The tax cut would cost the province $5.4 billion in tax revenue, B.C. United says.
This might be a blessing in disguise. The BC Liberal party (BC United) posing as liberals would no longer confuse or split the left vote. It’s NDP vs the conservatives, plain and simple.
From my post a few days ago for the BC Housing thing. The green votes should also consolidate into NDP as well given their current position on things.
Former Green Party leader Andrew Weaver(climate scientist) has been making rounds saying he’s a big fan of the BC Cons led by a guy that says carbon is good for the environment.
