Eby paired this reminder with a critique of Ottawa's treatment of B.C. Eby specifically singled out Ontario's decision to spend $225 million toward the liberalization of liquor sales in that province for derision in questioning how Ontario is using B.C. tax money.

But, but...

Doug Ford is a tool, but instead of focusing on the $421M that went to Ontario how about we collectively agree to stop giving Quebec $14B a year

Everyone Talks about Alberta or Quebec leaving Canada but I never understood why there is not more support for BC leaving Canada.

We make mad money and we don't need to worry about it going to other provinces if we are on our own. We basically operate as our own country already, might as well make it official. Maybe Washington, Oregon, and California will come with us and we can own the whole damn west coast.
