Vaughn Palmer: B.C. throne speech long on promises, short on details

VICTORIA — One didn’t need to read too far into the David Eby government’s first throne speech to discover that the new premier feels he inherited a mess.

“Food prices are going up. It’s hard to find a doctor. People of B.C. are working harder than ever … But many feel they are just getting by, not getting ahead.”

And that was just the bottom of the second page.

Later on there was this: “Finding a decent place to call home is a challenge right now.”

This: “Communities in B.C. are seeing our streets change for the worse.”
