B.C. should be a place Canadians want to move to. But it's not.

Jordan Bateman : Published October 8, 2026

Under David Eby, B.C. has stopped being a place Canadians want to move to.

We used to gain about 20,000 people a year from other provinces. Now it's about 500. Meanwhile, roughly 9,000 more British Columbians a year have moved to Alberta than came back. Under Eby:

Homes are out of reach for too many families, whether they're buying or renting.
Taxes are high, and Eby keeps adding new ones.
Qualified, experienced construction workers can't find enough work, and the NDP's onerous rules shut most of them out of public projects.

Every family that leaves takes its paycheque and its skills with it. That means fewer customers for local businesses, fewer coaches and volunteers in our communities, and grandparents who now see their kids a few times a year instead of every Sunday.

On October 24, vote for a government that will get B.C. building again.
