B.C. Conservative leader was happy to talk to reporters about his proposed ‘Rustad Rebate,’ but dodged six questions about his anti-vax comments
I always wondered how former premier W.A.C. Bennett managed to name the legendary dam on the Peace River after himself more than a half-century ago.But that’s the kind of decision that should be engineered so that it looks like somebody else’s idea. Then you as premier bashfully accede and gracefully go along with it.But Bennett, who used to criticize such ego-tripping, named it after himself in front of 2,000 guests.
He said the average rent in B.C. is now $2,400 and the average mortgage is $2,900, so the rebate would cover the vast majority of housing costs. The NDP posted a July video of him — reportedly at a meeting of former civil servants who refused to get shots — saying: “I’ve had three shots … I wish I hadn’t, quite frankly.”
