British Columbia Premier David Eby criticizes federal funding distribution, accusing favored treatment for Quebec and Ontario at the expense of Western provinces.
British Columbia Premier David Eby criticizes the federal government's funding distribution, accusing it of favoring Quebec and Ontario with "special treatment". Eby highlights the lack of federal contribution to the replacement of the Massey Tunnel in BC, while billions are spent on car factories in Ontario and Quebec. He argues that Western provinces receive less funding per capita or as a ratio of their GDP, and demands a fair share for British Columbia's rapidly growing population and increased strain on infrastructure, housing, and economic development.
