BC Premier David Eby faces criticism for the delay in issuing tax rebates, with the BC Conservatives portraying him as the Grinch in a Christmas-themed attack ad. The delay is due to the need for legislative approval, pushing the earliest issuance to March or April.
The BC Conservatives released a Christmas-themed attack ad targeting BC Premier David Eby over the delay in sending rebate cheques to British Columbians. Premier Eby stated that the $1.8 billion in rebates, up to $500 per person or $1,000 per household, would need legislative approval before being issued. This means that the cheques, promised in the October election, are unlikely to be sent until March or April.
The BC NDP government also criticized Eby for not exempting certain items from provincial sales tax as the federal government has done for GST

Early Election Pays Off for Progressive Conservatives in AlbertaThe decision by the Alberta government to discard its first law and switch the July election for a snap poll at the end of November has proven successful. The Progressive Conservatives, led by Houston, won a significant victory across the province after a short one-month campaign period. Advance polling indicated a decline in voter turnout, likely due to 'election fatigue' following the U.S. presidential election.
