BC Premier David Eby described this year’s election as the most challenging of his political career in an interview at the end of the year. He said it was the election from which he learned the most throughout his entire career.
Eby noted that the message from voters was clear that they are giving them another chance, but they need to do a better job for the community. He also acknowledged that his party had failed to establish stronger connections in rural areas.
Eby promised to address this issue moving forward. At the same time, he expressed his commitment to public safety. He referred to the assault incidents that occurred in downtown Vancouver this fall and announced that new regulations for involuntary care related to mental health and substance abuse would be introduced soon.
Regarding the $1,000 per-family grocery rebate, Eby confirmed that it would be coming soon but did not commit to delivering it before Easter.
