British Columbia Premier David Eby is experiencing a significant drop in approval, with new polling from the Angus Reid Institute showing only 41% of residents are satisfied with his leadership. This is the lowest approval rating Eby has received since becoming Premier.
Eby’s government is currently dealing with a number of pressing issues. A growing provincial deficit and a strike by the BC General Employees Union have strained relations between the government and public sector workers. The province is also facing criticism over its handling of Indigenous land rights and a controversial decision regarding access to a life-saving drug for a terminally-ill child.
These challenges have led to increasing dissatisfaction among residents, leaving Eby with an uphill battle to regain support. With the government’s fiscal issues and mounting public pressure, the future of Eby’s leadership appears uncertain as B.C. prepares for more potential disruptions.
