Premier tells B.C. municipal leaders not to expect ‘lolly,’ stresses collaboration
One of the final speeches of John Horgan’s political career saw the British Columbia premier extol the benefits of collaboration and togetherness to achieve results just before he took a parting shot at forest-policy critics he called do-gooders.
Horgan stressed he wasn’t at the convention to make splashy funding announcements, but rather to start or continue collaborative initiatives aimed at bringing results. The mayors of Port McNeill and Clearwater followed the address by Dix, saying their communities are facing critical staffing shortages, hospital emergency room closures and dangerous conditions.
The past five years in B.C., with droughts, floods, mudslides, wildfires, the heat dome, the opioid overdose crisis and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, have been challenging for the province and the government, said Horgan.
