What happened
The BC NDP government, led by David Eby, has proposed a steep tax hike on incomes exceeding $1 million, price controls on essential groceries and fuel, and an extra tax on unsold or empty condominiums. Separately, the BC NDP committed to providing $500,000 yearly for three years to the Western Jewish Community Security Network. In response, Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson stated that a future Conservative government would implement no new taxes.
