  2. More taxes, more migrants & if that doesn’t work out it is Alberta’s fault. Or maybe Trump’s fault. But I’m happy with a “D”.
    Alberta bound, Alberta bound
    It’s good to be Alberta bound

    1. Nope. It will just have been an “anecdote”. Which is impossible to defeat.
      Who writes that kind of subterfuge!? Let alone speaks it shamelessly.

  3. I always view these developments as a good news/bad news situation. Good in that people are leaving and sending a clear message to the B.C. communists that they suk.
    It’s bad because I’d bet more than significant portion of these “Okies” likely voted for the same policies that got them moving in the first place… possibly infecting Alta. with their poison.
    Learned this morning Stephen Spielberg is leaving California …Spielberg is slightly right of Marx and not by much.
    To use an analogy: Spielberg is the kind of guy one invites to a house party…trashes the place then says “Welp…I’m outta here”.

    1. In the United States we have a large Blue State to Red State migration. Who leaves and who stays?

      Republicans in Blue States are (4) times as likely to leave a Blue State for a Red State, polls and actual statistics show. Why? Communists like Blue States. That’s why they live there or moved there. MAGA voters want freedom, less stupid regulations and low taxes.

      Concrete Example. Florida with no estate taxes, no income taxes and no corporate taxes is booming. Since COVID started in 2020, party identification when registering to vote has totally turned. Florida is a closed primary state so you have to declare your party preference. In 2019 there were 100,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans. As of 01/31/2026 there are now 1,400,000 more Republicans than Democrats.

      So, my neighbors to the North should not worry too much. The Communists like BC and will stay there, unless Canadians are totally different than Americans and Right Wing Canadians are all Carney voters.

      1. My daughter’s family is vacating CA next month. She’s a 5th generation Californian. Never to return.

  4. L – British Columbia, the place where Property Rights go to die, along with confidence in the future. I doubt business investors, apart from the Triads from China, are saying to themselves “fee simple” ownership of property, who needs that?

  5. Eby gets a D for Dumbass.
    He thinks government creates jobs and so do most of the populace.
    Call the place D.C.

  6. All you need to know is that the Business Council of British Columbia started a “Stay with BC” initiative to counter Alberta’s “Alberta is Calling” campaign. Why? It’s not just that BC has an out migration problem but it is the demographics of who is leaving. It’s young people under 40, health care workers, skilled blue collar workers, small business owners…people that a province needs to thrive.

    I guess an incredibly high cost of living due to ever rising taxes, poor health services and inflated housing prices while shutting down the natural resource economy and undermining property rights is not a winning combination. Who knew? Saskatchewan, of course, because that’s what our NDP government did until 20 years ago. I remember in the 80s and 90s the joke was “the last person in Saskatchewan, please turn off the lights” since there was a massive out migration to mostly Alberta. The only difference is that our housing prices in Saskatchewan crashed because we didn’t have BC’s money laundering through real estate scheme.

  7. The worst part of all this?
    After Eby eventually gets thrown out of office – after leaving BC a steaming pile of dawg-sh1t – he’ll take his gov’t pension and live somewhere else.

  8. The softball questioner avoided the real problem areas and the weasel had his talking points lined up. Eby isn’t stupid but he certainly is evil. He not only supports apartheid but its inversion. He has driven much of the forest Industry to the US or Alberta where their “sustainable” timber production has gone up over the last half century while BC, on more than double the sustainable growing capacity has gone down to less than half in that time and now produces less than Alberta. All property rights are in jeopardy thanks to his intentional legal directives. He pretends to rule over the most feudal province in Canada with 95% Crown owned and trending to Indigenous (communist ownership) along with the private land thereby derived. Alberta is 70% Crown owned and the housing prices in the big cities is a third to 1/2 of that of all lower mainland and Island cities.

    1. Constitution? What Constitution?
      The Canadian Constitution was brought in by the Canadian Liberal Party and as such, bears all the hallmarks of regular Liberal Canadian Governance:

      The Fix is in. Always. See Section 1A.

      Elaine Benes levels of Fake, Fake, Fake. See Free Speech, Convoy, Vaccine etc.

      It starts with Red balance sheets, red color, red thoughts. Communism’s a-calling its Liberal brothers home.

      The lies. Always the lies.

      Red Media and unread Canadians make it alright.

  10. So much for the media narrative that business is fleeing Alberta because of separation fears. Looks to me like separation hope.

    1. Only WorstJet would have to leave. That’s only because of Canadian air space regulations. The legal head office would be in a TO lawyers filing cabinet. Most of everyone else could stay in Calgary.

  11. Unfortunately, you can’t move rental buildings, so I get to charge PST on my management fees as of 1 Oct.26.
    Failing even worse, for way more, as detached from accountability and economic reality kleptocrats double down.

  14. Eby hints that Alberta is not on a good trajectory, economically. Talk about whistling past the cemetery.

  15. The projected BC deficit for this year is DOUBLE that of Alberta’s per capita. I wonder how the First Nations are going to pay off that debt?

  16. Very much back in the day, we were living in BC as spouse was attending UBC for geology degree. I was working at the local office of a major mining firm, as spouse – who had worked for said firm elsewhere as a tech before realizing that was meant to be a geologist – was headed for the training he needed.. Spouse attended UBC and worked summers for this firm (given spouse’s previous training and experience, the company got a deal but we were grateful for the summer jobs). But then the provincial election of 1972 happened. Granted, The SoCreds needed to be voted out. But nobody in interior BC would have predicted what happened. The NDB declared a war on the resource industries, particularly the mining industry and prospecting or otherwise looking for new deposits to turn into potential mines. Come 1972 when spouse in final year, the company he’d worked for wasn’t hiring. Fortunately, a Calgary company was and – not without hesitation to the company who had employed my while spouse was at the uni as well as hiring said spouse during the summer – moved on. Were encouraged by friends where I worked who were saying “you have to go”.
    We left BC – not without regret – but we would not have been able our potential (spouse and self) had we stayed in Bc back in the day.
