VREP #505 The Province is Broke & the 2026 BC Budget is Making it Worse with Trevor Hargreaves

BC is staring down a $13.5 billion deficit. Yes, with a B! And the 2026 provincial budget will only make things worse. BCREA Senior VP of Government Relations Trevor Hargreaves sits down with Adam & Matt this week to unpack surprise PST expansions, new tax hikes, and a government trying to grow the economy with policies that discourage investment and development. Trevor breaks down why the Vancouver Board of Trade held an urgent press conference calling for change, where the political landscape of British Columbia is heading, and why a lack of consultation on the part of David Eby's government keeps leading to hasty policy. With criticism coming from every direction, can the NDP hold it together? Is the province's approach to taxation doing more harm than good? And could a shift in political leadership finally change course for BC? Don't miss this one!
