It looks like Eby will lose his own constituency.

[@linaF5050]

NDP got to go. Eby act like a two year old. No more activist in government

[@asmith8947]

Eby is clueless. He has got to go!

[@thesaltysergeant4103]

Rustad was great, he did well. He was better the other two in my opinion.

[@sylviamitbrodt1562]

EBay lost for sure. He didn’t face the camera but instead faced Rustead. He seemed like a bully . Rustead was calm and collected.

[@STG70AQHALOVIN]

Eby as terrible omg come on

[@SianMason]

And how is Eby going to pay fo his plan? Hmmmm. I think we know. The NDP have broken the intergenerational contract - the next generation will never pay off the debt, and will live less well as a result.

[@STG70AQHALOVIN]

@SianMason yes absolutely our kids and their children will pay for this radical NDP policies

[@STG70AQHALOVIN]

Eby came in un-voted with a surplus now BC is in the hole, keep the un elected guy in BC will decline terrible

[@tavia3006]

In 2024/25, Alberta's projected budget surplus ($2.1 billion) turns to a $5.8 billion deficit, and in 2025/26, Alberta's projected budget surplus ($2.8 billion) turns to a $4.8 billion deficit. Moreover, Alberta would accumulate an additional $25.9 billion in net debt by 2025/26.Jan 30, 2024 Alberta's Underlying Budget Deficit - Fraser Institute

Supplying drugs to junkies is an example of bad judgment

[@MrEdisonLo]

Far left media. Especially Jeff, wow...

[@arctichero1]

Paid shill, Jeff.

[@caseyhaynes2858]

Are you guys Kidding me, How much are you guys getting payed to support the NDP..., just because Rustad isnt a dynamic speaker, I found Eby a bully, mostly because he couldnt even come close to defending his terrible record, In with a surplus, and spend spend spend, now huge deficit, and more more spending. Eby is a train wreck, he has no plan on how to save BC, at least Rustad, has a plan to bring back the stalled industry in bc, which Eby has killed..., Eby has killed everything in bc, look at health care..., and yes maybe the Greens can argue, but they also have virtually nothing to offer..., More Eby deficit, means more taxes...

Thank you for your tireless support of fresh slice pizza. During my first trip to Vancouver in years, I tried a slice and it was fine. I wouldn’t have had any of it wasn’t for Rob Shaw’s tireless advocacy for that company.

[@sylviamitbrodt1562]

Why is CHEK so slanted against the Conservatives?

[@nuxkamina]

Castanet, CHEK, VANCOUVER CBC..im starting to see why people started using alternative media sources. They seemed crazy but the government/media authoritarianism is disturbing.

[@ronrondquist4568]

Already voted John rustad and the conservatives. My brother n niece voted rustad to. Eby the Trudeau clone MUST go

[@airborne_12v]

BC conservatives for the win! Time for change so happy a breathe 🧘‍♀️ fresh air! Eby was a bully during the debate John was calm cool and controlled

[@alexmader7930]

Great podcast.

[@cherylvl1036]

In my riding the NDP candidate is a fly-in candidate who did not attend our All Candidates Forum. How likely is that candidate to serve our area and our issues? Not likely. The Green Party candidate couldn’t get the required 100 signatures. We are left with an independent and a Conservative candidates. Even though I’m not thrilled with the Conservative at least he returns emails unlike the incumbent former Liberal so I will be voting Conservative.

[@royg9776]

Could Jeff possibly be any unfunnier

[@gailg2327]

Let’s deal with reality , please! Exactly , no more selfish activism, leaving BC residents behind and unhappy.

[@STG70AQHALOVIN]

Great panel chek, unsuccessful far left group, ya well done 😢. Misinformation, where's ebys platform hmm tax tax tax. Zip up your wallet BC, you think life is tough now omg.

[@traviswickes2470]

You guys are so bias its very obvious. Must be getting paid hahaa

[@johnhatfield6269]

there so bad i don't want to watch chek any more

[@arctichero1]

@@johnhatfield6269 Agree. They have become irrelevant.

[@arctichero1]

Wow. Jeff simply cannot escape his delusions. Allie is the most insightful, informed and intelligent on the panel but dares not call it by its name.

[@chicagomike]

The green leader is very good.

[@seanandernacht800]

Allie is completely out to lunch suggesting that Rustad was “under attack” (is he not responsible enough to answer people’s concerns??) and doesn’t need a platform or budget. Rustad has admitted he won’t balance the budget until the end of his second term, i.e. he has no plans to be fiscally responsible. All these comments about how NDP are too expensive but how are we supposed to know how much worse it will be under Cons?

[@peachyland1253]

I don't know anyone who wants the Con's in that care about BC and their fellow British Columbian's. Real estate investor and developers want him in . And people who don't need affordable car insurance, those you could never satisfy. And the unrealistic.
