What This Site Is About

The BC NDP has governed British Columbia since 2017 — first under John Horgan, then under David Eby. In that time, BC has experienced some of its worst fiscal outcomes in modern history, a housing crisis that deepened despite years of promises, a healthcare system that shed capacity instead of growing it, and a sweeping Indigenous policy agenda that raises serious questions about who actually governs BC.

This site compiles the documented record from public sources: government budgets, commission reports, court decisions, Auditor General findings, and investigative journalism. Every major claim is cited. Draw your own conclusions.

⚠ The 2026 Budget

BC's 2026 provincial budget projected a record deficit of over $13 billion. Within weeks, S&P and Moody's both downgraded BC's credit rating — the fifth downgrade in four years. When the Liberals left office in 2017, BC held a AAA credit rating and a balanced budget.

💰

Follow the Money

The 12 organizations. Treaty negotiations: $1.5–3B+ spent, only 4 treaties. The Ministry of Indigenous Relations budget — nearly tripled under the NDP. The accountability gap.

The Land Question

"95% unceded" — what it legally means vs. how it's used politically. Only 0.2% has confirmed Aboriginal title. The hereditary vs. elected chiefs problem. What UNDRIP implementation could mean for your property.

🔍

Mismanagement & Scandals

Bands under third-party management. Housing funds and where they went. Carbon credits: $50–150M/yr with no accountability. Treaty loan debt: $700M–1B+. Identity fraud. The off-reserve reality.

📊

The Benefits Nobody Talks About

Section 87 tax exemption (real dollar values). $15–25K/yr housing subsidy. NIHB dental, vision, prescriptions. The true income comparison. Squamish Nation's $3–6B Senakw project. Wealthy bands vs. the reality on most reserves.

🚪

The Exodus

BC posted the worst population decline in Canada in Q4 2025. Doctors, tech workers, young families, and businesses are leaving for Alberta and the US. The data the NDP doesn't want to talk about.

🗣️

Renaming BC

0.33% of BCers speak an Indigenous language. 1,215 speak one at home. Yet BC renames bridges, schools, and parks — without public votes — while speakers keep declining despite $400–500M spent.

🕸️

Who Really Runs BC?

Stewart Phillip (UBCIC, 26+ years) is married to NDP MLA Joan Phillip. His government-funded organization helped write DRIPA. His organization celebrated her election. No recusal on record.

💸

Who Gets Rich?

Chiefs earning more than the Premier while members earn $18K/year. Carbon credit millionaires. $3–6B in treaty lawyer fees. The 307% Atira funding surge. And zero accountability.

In Their Own Words

"ICBC is a financial dumpster fire."

— David Eby, Attorney General, January 2018, describing ICBC's $1.3B projected loss

"Although Site C is not the project we would have favoured or would have started, it must be completed."

— Premier John Horgan, December 11, 2017 — announcing continuation of the dam that would cost $16B

"The numbers are such that we cannot support these folks. We're seeing significant exploitation of international students and temporary residents by employers, by landlords. We can't control the number of people coming in at the provincial level."

— Premier David Eby, CBC interview, December 2023

"[The 5th credit downgrade] puts provincial finances at risk, because of the growing interest costs."

— BC Conservative interim leader Trevor Halford, February 2026
