Eby has woven Trump threats into every aspect of elxn address and two campaign announcements so far, from speech to substance (recruit more US health care workers, mandate BC products in infrastructure projects), positioning BC Conservatives as Maple MAGA, NDP as standing up. Will it be effective?

I had a Winnipeg Jets player and his mom on my boat yesterday so took the opportunity to ask if the team is grateful the Canucks took Evander Kane of their hands. His attempt to hide a smile said it all.

There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason. Canadians are standing together in defence of this beautiful land. 🇨🇦
