Eby Touts Public Health, Says Conservatives Would Turn B.C. Into 'America Junior'
The campaign aims to add 2,400 more recruits and save hundreds of millions in training costs, Eby said.
- On Wednesday, New Democrat Leader David Eby pledged to triple British Columbia's U.S. health-care recruitment campaign with $15 million in funding, targeting 2,400 additional professionals from south of the border.
- The province has already recruited 800 health professionals from the U.S., with Eby arguing workers choose British Columbia because they value public systems over the private-care model he characterizes as "America Junior."
- Eby targeted the British Columbia Conservatives, noting they called the recruitment "irresponsible" and warning their party has "acknowledged that health care would take the brunt of deep cuts" if elected.
- Health Minister Ravi Kahlon announced he will not seek re-election on October 24, prompting Eby to praise his "remarkable work" as minister of health and jobs.
- Eby framed the October election as a choice for British Columbians between building the province or "folding" to President Donald Trump amid escalating trade tensions and daily attacks from Washington.
