BC Conservative Party Leader John Rustad has endorsed Pierre Poilievre, alleging that Liberal policies have undermined BC’s immigration system over the past decade. Rustad vowed to reclaim control of immigration from Ottawa during the BC provincial election.

With the federal election underway, Rustad emphasized that BC residents have a chance to reform the immigration system by electing a Conservative government led by Poilievre. The BC opposition leader also expressed his support for Poilievre’s vision for Canada.

Rustad called for an end to the Liberals’ immigration policies, claiming they had created a “racket” and contributed to the rise of fraudulent immigration colleges. In response, Sukh Dhaliwal, the Liberal Party candidate from Surrey-Newton, criticized Poilievre, accusing him of prioritizing personal interests over the well-being of Canada.

B.C. government approves bill to end its carbon tax on consumers

British Columbians are waking to a future without a consumer carbon tax for the first time in 17 years, after the late-night approval of a bill to end the long-standing policy. The NDP government fast-tracked legislation to kill off the tax on Monday, in time to coincide with today's demise of the federal version of the tax. B.C. became the first jurisdiction in North America to introduce a broad-based carbon tax in 2008. Premier David Eby says it played an important role for many years, but it became a "toxic" issue as a result of campaigns by the B.C. and federal Conservative parties. Eby sa
