British Columbia David Eby seems to be the rare positive voice for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is losing premier support
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doesn’t have many friends among provincial premiers these days. Even the lone provincial Liberal premier, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey, has joined Conservative premiers in denouncing the carbon tax increase that took effect on Monday.
“When the feds release those details, we will be looking to see if appropriate per-capita funding is provided or if the feds will continue to focus only on saving Liberal seats,” he said in a statement. But Eby said he’s seen some of the broad details of the federal housing announcement and that it appears to endorse his province’s own plan, and he said it’s been “frustrating and challenging” that provinces haven’t had infrastructure funding from Ottawa.spoke with municipal officials in British Columbia as part of a story aimed at revealing the accompanying costs municipalities would have to shoulder as Ottawa and the provinces respond to a housing crisis.
“We’re building the homes and therefore we should get the funding. If provinces don’t step up, if they don’t do this, the money should come to the provinces who are doing the work.”
