TAKE ACTION against the B.C. NDP’s tyrannical Bill 7!!!

First, they seized power over a “public health emergency.” Now, they want to do it again, this time over an “economic emergency.” Here’s why we must stop the B.C. NDP’s Tariff Response Act—Bill 7, before it’s too late.

David Eby is trying to make himself the most powerful premier in British Columbia’s history—using Donald Trump as an excuse to bypass our democratic process.

His proposed Economic Stabilization and Tariff Response Act—Bill 7— would let him override provincial laws and regulations, sidestep democratic checks and balances, and even bypass the legislature itself. All under the guise of an economic “emergency.”

This is an unprecedented power grab, and if it succeeds, it won’t stop with Eby. Ottawa will take this as a green light to follow suit.

Eby is justifying this overreach by fear-mongering about Trump’s tariffs, claiming that B.C. needs these sweeping powers to protect against potential U.S. trade measures.

But the bigger threat to B.C.’s economy isn’t coming from Trump—it’s coming from Eby’s own reckless spending and mismanagement. Under his leadership, B.C. has posted record deficits, and it's now set to double as he wants unchecked economic control.

We learned the hard way during COVID tyranny that once governments take power in the name of an emergency, they rarely give it back without a fight.

If Bill 7 passes, this won’t just be about tariffs—it will set a dangerous precedent for using economic fear as an excuse to erode democracy.

We must stop Bill 7 before it’s too late.

Sign and share our “Stop Eby’s Power Grab” petition. We will ensure the petition is sent to all of B.C.’s provincial parties and independent MLAs, calling on them to vote down this dangerous bill.

Premier David Eby’s Bill 7 is a dangerous power grab that threatens democracy in British Columbia by granting him sweeping, unchecked authority. Disguised as economic policy, this bill could allow Eby to bypass the legislative process, centralize power in his office, and make unilateral decisions without accountability. This is one of the most undemocratic moves in the province’s history, setting a dangerous precedent for government overreach. Sign the petition now to stop Bill 7 and defend democracy in B.C.!

Will you sign?

    Socialists will be socialists – what more can I say. Despite any “democratic”, “progressive” or “liberal” camouflage, it will inevitably at some point revert to its authoritarian, collectivist 18th and 19th century roots.

    I grew up in NE B. C. and, after my father died, I inherited the family house. People asked me why I didn’t move back, free residence and all that. It would have cost me far too much time and money to fix it up close to what it was like when the family moved in after it was built.

    But, the real reason was that B. C. has been mis-governed by the NDP. The province was a decent place to live more than 50 years ago, but voters took leave of their senses and elected the Dave Barrett Dippers. It wasn’t the same after that. Barrett’s gang inflicted government auto insurance on the population and, now, ICBC is so deeply embedded in the province that it’s impossible to get rid of.

    For about the last 40 years, the provincial government has alternated between the NDP and whatever passes for a centre, let alone right-wing, party. B. C.’s had to suffer under the Dippers since John Horgan was elected premier and the people are stuck with them. The current bunch have pretty much handed over control to the U. N., governing by its Agenda Whatever Year rules.

    I remember seeing election posters in 1972 equating the W. A. C. Bennett Socreds with being Nazis, which was one reason that Barrett was elected. More than 50 years later, the same can now be said about the NDP.

    As for the house, another reason I didn’t want to move back to B. C. was the property tax I would have had to pay. The tax was determined by B. C. Assessment and, while I owned the house, its estimated worth was about a third more than its appraised value, despite my trying to convince them that the amount was excessive.

    Eby’s shenanigans only confirm the wisdom of my decision to sell the house and stay in Alberta.

    This is truly frightening. Eby’s power grab is dangerous and must be stopped. And the tariff war ISN’T an emergency. Like the Chinese virus, politicians are ginning up fear to get their evil way.
