British Columbia's NDP government faces criticism for purchasing ICBC headquarters for $53.3M, allegedly shortchanging ICBC policyholders by $40M, amid transparency concerns.

British Columbia's NDP government faces criticism over its purchase of the ICBC headquarters for $53.3M, assessed at around $100M, to create affordable housing. Critics argue the gov't shortchanged ICBC policyholders by $40M, and question the transparency and motives behind the decision. Premier David Eby claims the previous Liberal gov't intended to sell the property for luxury condos, prompting the NDP to intervene.
