B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad outlines some of his ideas at Union of B.C. Municipalties convention
Conservative Party of B.C. Leader John Rustad kicked off a month-long campaign Friday to get people considering the idea of hearing the word “Premier” in front of his name.
Rustad has been criticizing the 15-year-old escalating tax for more than a year. Eby last week abruptly announced he would drop it if the federal requirement is removed, because people can’t afford it. The resolution has no direct impact on government. Local leaders, whose hunt for more money from senior governments stretches back 100 years, have an obvious interest in the cash. But still, the vote suggests there is more support for the carbon tax than Eby and Rustad may think.
His policy is to pursue electrification on a grand scale and talk about using nuclear power generation if need be. He dwelled on assorted crises he said the NDP government has mismanaged, mostly in the “rampant” crime and general public safety realm. “That’s a controversial topic, but if your … child is addicted and that child refuses to go into treatment and recovery, there’s nothing you can do as a parent.Eby recently made room for secure care in the NDP platform as well, one of a few recent examples where he’s aligned the government with B.C. Conservative stances.
