The "difference between before and after" is a bit awkward, but I assume it means they topped up whatever smaller amount they would have paid.

Regardless of his “donation”, he took a very scarce $10/day slot that someone more deserving could have used….

What job do you think Eby will be doing after being thrown out? My guess , the leading First Nations Lawyer.

Well it ain’t over yet.
It’s unclear whether the B.C. Conservatives have won over the more liberal free-enterprise voters who stayed home last time. Polls look good now, but things look volatile.
Also, I heard there are some ridings in Surrey where Centre BC and OneBC may cause some weird vote splits. Who knows how that goes.
By rights, Eby should be out of a job after this even if the NDP win.
The legislature press corps there is usually pretty fair, even if it does lean small “l” liberal. But if they smell blood in the water from anyone, they’re like sharks. The ones who cry “media bias” are usually scandal plagued and doing stupid things.

Meanwhile, money talking/ potentially walking...

David Eby launched British Columbia’s election campaign by arguing he needed a mandate to fight Donald Trump’s trade war. Economists warn his push for one of the world’s highest tax rates on top earners would hurt the province’s competitiveness in the middle of that battle.
Eby promised to hike taxes for higher earners by raising rates on all income above roughly $190,000 and proposed a new tax bracket on incomes over $1 million. When combined with federal taxes, the top marginal income tax rate would reach 57.5 per cent.
The proposal has become a flashpoint in a campaign centred on economic issues. Supporters say higher taxes on top earners would help shore up government finances and fund public services. But that argument isn’t getting the traction Eby hoped: with nine days until the vote, his New Democratic Party is trailing in public opinion polls.

Stupid plan. Anyone earning one million or more a year has no requirement to remain a resident of B.C. I am certain that Calgary would welcome them with open arms and lower tax rates.Meanwhile, money talking/ potentially walking...

"Let's run an unvetted 18 year old as our candidate. What's the worst that could happen?"
Are there any grown-ups in BC provincial politics? (I'm claiming no virtue or adults in Ontario, for the record...)

What adult wants to have their entire life torn apart by the internet, just for the privilege of spending money to maybe get elected?
Society, and in particular the internet, have made politics so toxic that nobody who isn't crazy or a narcissist will run.
