David Eby's NDP seems to be prolific at just one thing: racking up debt. Eye-watering, heart-stopping, chill-inducing, gag-provoking levels of debt. In fact, Eby is on track to add more debt than every other B.C. Premier--COMBINED. 💸 This record borrowing will severely limit…

Justin Trudeau’s economic vision was heavy on government, light on reality. In @VancouverSun, Jock Finlayson argues the private sector — not Ottawa — drives prosperity. Time for Mark Carney to take note. 👇 vancouversun.com/opinion/column… #cdnpoli #economy #Carney #ICBA #BusinessFirst

The BC NDP says it supports BC jobs and values — then ships $1B in ferry contracts overseas to China. Our Chris Gardner calls out the hypocrisy in his latest @BIVNews op-ed. Must-read for anyone who cares about BC’s economy. 🔗 biv.com/news/commentar…

icbabc's tweet card. What happened to empowering Indigenous workers and women in trades when it came time to build ferries? The government quietly looked away.

The government's own numbers show their failing CleanBC scheme is 2.5 times worse for our economy than the Trump tariffs and Carney retaliation ever could be! 💸 So we're calling on the CleanBC review panel to kill major parts of it. 📝icbaindependent.ca/wp-content/upl…
