Patrick Pichette — the guy who proposed this $500k “exit fee” — left Canada years ago, became Google’s CFO, made over $100 million, was on Twitter’s board until Elon fired him when he took it over, and now lives in luxury in London, England. He used Canada’s subsidized education and mobility to climb the ladder… then wants to pull it up behind him and trap young Canadians here. Mark Carney did the exact same thing (11 years in the UK). This isn’t about “repaying education costs.” It’s elite hypocrisy and Soviet-style control. Canada is becoming a roach motel for talent. Repost if you’re done watching them lock the door.

@Prominent_Bryan There’s no way they could walk away from a win. Frankly, he would have my vote for leader if he was in the mix.

Imagine we get an election now and Trevor Halford wins... What next? Do you replace the guy who just won a general election for your party?

@optionscaller @Howard__24 All of them.

@Howard__24 Will cities get greedy and raise their fees accordingly?

From what I have heard at the Vancouver Real Estate Forum, BC will soon be getting funding from the federal government to cut development charges, similar to Ontario. #vanRE

@mattgurney Unfortunately, I can’t name a media member that’s called out their profession for creating a political environment with zero accountability for the LPC.

@ShagFred name them

Of course. Why wouldn't they?

@GurvSC Milobar would be as disastrous as the NDP.

I’m willing to support the B.C. Conservatives no matter who the leader is for the next election simply because of the importance of having a conservative premier in B.C. But Milobar seriously needs to reconsider his reconciliation act idea. That B.C. Liberal nonsense is what pushed this province into the hands of the left.

@unusual_whales Hes just going to outsource to Asia like most of his innovations.

BREAKING: Jeff Bezos is reportedly in talks to raise $100B for a new fund aimed at acquiring manufacturing firms and automating them with AI, per WSJ.

@Prominent_Bryan That’s great news for the natural governing party and their inverse relationship to reality.

We have fallen so much we are now behind the US (elbows up!!!!!) and Poland caught up to us One more decade of the Liberals and we'll be behind China

@CityNewsVAN It interesting that his popularity runs inverse to his atrocious record on the economy.

WATCH: A new poll shows that Prime Minister Mark Carney's popularity continues to rise. vancouver.citynews.ca/video/2026/03/…

@TheDiscoStu You don’t live with a cancer because it’s more convenient. You remove it or you eventually die.

The Canucks should just keep Elias Petterson. Even if he doesn’t ever get back to what he was, he’s still a serviceable 2-way NHL center with scoring upside at his worst, and 11.6 for that might be close to the going rate in a couple of years. To get a decent return you probably have to retain salary, so why not just overpay him while the team is going nowhere instead? It’s the smartest move.

@BNNBloomberg Lie after lie slurped up by a corrupt bootlicking media.

Carney says Canada a reliable oil exporter with moves to increase production bnnbloomberg.ca/business/polit…

@kareemformayor Kids typically don’t use the ice when they’re at school.

I agree. The Canucks proposal needs to be more ambitious. 1️⃣ It needs a brand-new ice sheet that doesn’t take time away from minor hockey. Adding a new ice sheet is a win for everyone. 2️⃣ Any decision between business and council regarding public lands should not be made behind closed doors. This decision should be made publicly.

@Prominent_Bryan Just wait until unemployment hits 15% and the deficit reaches $500 billion just to maintain zero growth. He’ll probably have a 40 point lead by that point and win every seat across Canada.

Abacus now has the LPC with double digit lead...

@jabo_vancouver Yeah, Babcock him. That will go over well around the league.

Kane should be politely told, there wasn't a market for you at the deadline, but there's no place for you on this team moving forward. We can terminate your contract and allow you to sign elsewhere, but we are committed to playing those who may potentially have a future. #Canucks

@bobmackin Don’t worry she will put it in a blind trust and magically forget about all the conflicts of interest.

The newest Liberal MP. #cdnpoli

@mikefarnworthbc why do you morons have lanes shut down on the bridges during rush hour? Incompetent.

@Prominent_Bryan West is a pure political opportunist and the next Premier will have to get their hands dirty. Not his style. He’ll let them take a loss first - the right can get their hands dirty cleaning up- and he can play hero after on all the 80/20 issues like he always does.

Me I think Eby might be at the end of his tenure and the NDP will replace him I mean, they could just go and get Brad West and easily win the next election...

@BenLypka The problem is that EP has never been injured.

Wondering when this comparison eventually gets made. Players who blew up as rookies, got paid, suffered injuries and then completely fell off. Simmons probably had higher highs and lower lows though. And it’s still not too late for EP40 but clock is ticking #canucks

@TrendPolCa @Anthony__Koch @NVanCaroline @PeterMilobar @iainblackbc @KerryLynneFindl Greats news for @One_BCHQ

NEW: BC Conservative polling shows @NVanCaroline leading over @PeterMilobar, @iainblackbc and @KerryLynneFindl.

@Aaronpete_ War was always the end game for this Iranian regime. The only choice was around timing.

This is a war of choice. We’ve seen regime change wars my whole life, rarely if ever have they resulted in a better outcome for the people. It’s a tragedy to see so many come out in support of further violence. It’s unlikely this will go the way you hope it does.
