Eby not ruling out possibility of Conservative Speaker of the House

The morning after his party was asked to form government, Premier David Eby said he was feeling well rested for the "first time in a long time."

. . .

But now, the premier says he and his party have their work cut out for them after a close election showed that British Columbians want more from the NDP.

"They're asking us to do better, but they're also giving us the opportunity to do better," Eby said.
. . .

But he said none of that can be accomplished without the support of Conservative and Green MLAs in the legislature.

Given the amount of brain drain that has left BC, he could make life instantly easier for every single person universally by cutting taxes, cutting regulations, cutting government spending, shutdown a few government programs, and cut fees.

Vague hand-waving is not a solution to problems, it is lazy.

What spending should be cut? What regulations should be removed? What government programs should be shutdown?

Without some specifics there is not even anything to discuss in your comment.

Ernest falsehoods left unchallenged risk being accepted as facts.

Not to question the mod work being done, but if someone is trolling, isn't it better to reprimand them than the users responding to the troll? Telling people not to engage with trolls is adressing the symptom, not the cause IMHO.
