John Rustad was on with Jordan Peterson. Here is a summary of the first hour. #bcpoli
BC is vulnerable right now because we don't produce enough food here. Rustad says we produce only 1/3 of the food we consume. #bcpoli
Rustad is a strong proponent of BC's LNG industry and supplying gas to other counties. Conservative leader says we can't just focus on wind and solar. "We need to get to nuclear." #bcpoli

David Eby's housing policy is massive and would mark a significant shift for the current government.
Here are some of the highlights including a BC housing flipping tax. #bcpoli #bchousing
The Flipping Tax would apply on the sale of a residential property. The tax rate goes down to zero the longer the property is held. #bcpoli
The tax will be highest for those who hold properties for the shortest period of time, and phases out after two years. The tax will include exemptions for life circumstances due to, for example, death, employment loss, divorce, or disability. #bcpoli

Here is a quick thread about BC Place/Vancouver playing host to World Cup 2026 games.
The expectation now is BC will find out next week if Vancouver will be allowed back into the bid book.
The sense is FIFA will give thumbs up to Vancouver. #bcpoli
Once Vancouver gets the thumbs up, that will mean 3 Canadian cities are being considered for 10 games.
Edmonton, Toronto and Vancouver all want at least 4 or 5 games.
Making it work financially with 2 or 3 games is very tough. #bcpoli
Vancouver and Toronto are the FIFA favourites. Bigger cities, with greater international reach.
They have both been successful hosts for FIFA before for U20 and Women's World Cups. #bcpoli
