Former BC premier Gordon Campbell has stepped back into the spotlight, warning that another term for David Eby’s NDP would leave British Columbia “unrecognizable.”

In an opinion piece, Campbell argued the government’s decisions have made BC less competitive and made inequality worse. Critics accuse the NDP of believing “no problem can’t be fixed by raising your taxes.” Most recently, Eby announced plans to raise income taxes on high earners and raise the speculation and vacancy tax on homes that aren’t someone’s main residence.

When governments need more money, should they raise taxes or cut spending?

“VICTORIA — The B.C. government says construction contracts for five health-care projects have been cancelled, after depicting them as being "re-paced" in the February budget.

Infrastructure Minister Bowinn Ma said the projects were still part of the government's capital plan, while the Opposition B.C. Conservatives said the cancellations represented a "betrayal."

The cancellations include contracts for the second phase of the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment, the Beedie Long-term Care Centre in Delta, as well as long-term care projects in Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Kelowna. Ma's ministry confirmed on Thursday.

The government had previously confirmed two cancellations on Wednesday, in response to questions from the Conservatives.

"We can call them deferred, we can call them rescheduled," Ma told reporters on Thursday. "The bottom line is that those projects were not ready to go."

She added that their estimated budgets were coming well over projections and it was incumbent on government to work with project teams and health authorities to make sure tax dollars were being respected.

“This project is cancelled," he said in the legislature on Wednesday. "This isn’t re-pacing, it’s betrayal. Why did this government promise long-term care to nearly 125,000 people in Delta, only to walk it back and abandon the seniors who trusted them?"

The sites were among nine projects that the government said in February were being slowed to get the province's costs under control in light of a record-setting deficit projection of $13.3 billion.

Ma said projects generally unfold over different phases, and the contracts being cancelled were agreements that health authorities had signed before the government's decision to delay construction.

"So, I understand why it would be disappointing for community members to hear that project that they were expecting to be delivered on a certain timeline is now delayed because additional work has to be done," she said. "But I want to be very clear — these projects remain in our capital plan."

Ma's ministry said in a statement that the cancellations represent the most fiscally responsible way forward given the changes to the timelines of the projects, but the government remained committed to them.

Conservative Ian Paton, the legislature member for Delta South, said his community had raised just under $20 million for the proposed $180-million Beedie long-term care facility of 200 beds.

"This project is cancelled," he said in the legislature on Wednesday. "This isn’t re-pacing, it’s betrayal. Why did this government promise long-term care to nearly 125,000 people in Delta, only to walk it back and abandon the seniors who trusted them?"

Paton said it was "embarrassing" for the government to have announced these projects, only to say they have since become too expensive.

"What farmer would be building a barn, knowing that he doesn't have enough to complete the project?"

Brennan Day, the Conservative critic for rural and seniors health, said in the legislature on Thursday that B.C. faces a shortage of long-term care beds, but instead of investing more, the government was cancelling projects.

He cited the latest report from Office of the Seniors Advocate, which says the average wait time for long-term care has grown to 287 days from 144.

Health Minister Josie Osborne acknowledged that wait times were unacceptable, and the government was working with "urgency on seniors’ care."

Osborne said earlier this week that 7,829 British Columbians were wait-listed for long-term care.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 30, 2026.

Yup you got that right. Dogwood, the non profit political advocacy group is know to interfere… they got busted carrying bc election ballot boxes in Victoria …. To where?!?!

Read here how you and our provincial elections are in fact controlled by outside (bad) actors.

“Dogwood BC (Tides Funded) intends to manipulate upcoming Municipal Elections”
January 8, 2026

West Coast Outpost

“Dogwood BC is already well known for election interference in the past as noted below, let me quote.

Recruiting dual members: Dogwood allegedly encouraged its supporters, including existing Green Party members, to join the BC NDP specifically to vote in the leadership election, with the intention of rejoining their original parties later. BC NDP rules prohibited members of other political parties from joining, and the BC Green Party also prohibited dual memberships.
Paying for memberships: There were also allegations that an Appadurai supporter offered to pay the $10 membership fee for new members, which is a violation of the BC Election Act.

Independence of Dogwood/Appadurai campaign: The BC NDP’s election CEO investigated the connections between Dogwood and the Appadurai campaign, concluding that their claims of independence from each other were contradicted by the evidence.

Outcomes
Anjali Appadurai disqualified: The BC NDP’s election CEO concluded that the integrity of the membership list was “seriously undermined” by the solicitation of fraudulent memberships by Dogwood and others, and disqualified Anjali Appadurai from the leadership race in October 2022. This made David Eby the sole candidate, and he became the premier.

Elections BC Review: Elections BC, the province’s independent election watchdog, also reviewed Dogwood’s activities to ensure that, as a third party, it did not make an indirect political contribution to a leadership contestant.

Foreign Funding Concerns: Dogwood has also previously faced scrutiny for receiving a portion of its funding from U.S.-based foundations, which has been a point of discussion in Canadian political circles regarding foreign influence in Canadian elections.

There are still some very serious questions to be asked in connection with Taylor Bachrach and his elections both municipal and federal in regards to the roles Dogwood BC played in his election campaigns.

Now Dogwood BC has its eyes set on controlling who wins municipal elections in BC

I will post screenshots as evidence below, but its clear they are willing to fund, but I will copy paste verbatim the first part of the job offer.

Dogwood brings people together to transform our democracy, uphold Indigenous rights and defend the climate, land and water that sustain life in B.C. With our allies, we work to break free from fossil fuels, supercharge decarbonization, and counter corporate influence on our democracy and rising right-wing narratives. All of this work takes place on unceded, stolen Indigenous territories amidst ongoing colonial violence, racial injustices and profound wealth inequalities. Thus, Dogwood will contribute, always, to the generations-long project of repairing the injustices of colonialism and dismantling systems of oppression.

In a nutshell when Dogwood BC says quote “rising right-wing narratives” They in fact are going to support “left wing” meaning NDP and Green Party candidates.

The candidate’s job is to coordinate with their choices of who should run our town and city councils, as is stark contrast with voters deciding that choice. Dogwood BC Intends to use American funding, to manipulate our munic0ple elects,
