A good day to ponder what an amazing deal B.C. residents have enjoyed thanks to public auto insurance. Avg nominal premiums are no higher than 9 years ago when J.Horgan was elected, vs 45% avg increase in Canada and 119% in next-door Alberta. Data from StatsCan. #bcpoli

Major fiasco BC Conservatives halfway point of campaign. Secret letter tells lawyers, industry insiders plans for auto insurance before telling public. Assuming letter won't be leaked. Saying "everything is on table." Doerkson has some explaining to do.

UBCIC condemns the offensive comment shared by ⁦BCCP candidate Bryan Breguet. Such narratives ignore the historic and ongoing impact of colonization and systemic racism. Candidates should focus on justice reform and not on attacking racialized groups. #bcpoli

For an election supposedly dominated by affordability concerns, there's been precious little attention in BC #bcpoli on core economic issues. As I explain in @TheTyee, BC's had the best per capita growth, highest wages, fastest investment, and more: thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/10/…. /2

Relevant for #bcpoli in light of Mr Rustad's pledge to break up the public auto insurance system in BC. According to Statistics Canada, BC premiums in 2023 were 6.6% lower than in 2017, compared to a 17.9% avg rise in Canada--and a 41.8% jump in Alberta. Why mess with success?
