If I had to pick one politician out of the whole country that I trust the most it would without a doubt be David Eby.

- Tiktaalik 9y agoYeah honestly voting NDP in the last election would have been justifiable even just to elect Eby to clean house.
- mediocrejoker 9y agoI can't say this quote (from the article) inspires a lot of faith. "This story confirms our government's commitment to taking action to crack down on money laundering and criminal activity in B.C.," David Eby said. I'm not even sure how to parse it. In my mind this story does anything but "confirm" the government's commitment to stopping this; in my mind it confirms that someone was asleep at the wheel. Perhaps he meant to say "this story has inspired us to crack down..." but the cynical part of me thinks that a politician would never admit there was a problem that they did not already know about. In any case, I will pay more attention to what David Eby does than what he says.
- Tiktaalik 9y agoThe context is that this is a new government. The old BC Liberal government didn't care about any of these problems at all and allowed them to fester for years. The new NDP government suspected there were severe problems and were starting to act on them. The article "confirms" that indeed the problems are severe, and the new government is correct in their belief that it's an important issue for their government to address.
