Let’s Break It Down | B.C. Recovery Benefit For Who?

As part of the 2020 Election Campaign, Premier John Horgan promised that if his BC NDP party was re-elected, they would provide a Recovery Benefit to British Columbians. On October 6th he Tweeted, “People are struggling to pay the bills because of the pandemic — they need direct relief. Our BC NDP plan includes a $500-$1000 COVID Recovery Benefit to help people who are struggling the most.” Well that’s a nice promise. John Horgan and the NDP keep making noise about intending to deliver, but as always, the devil is in the details.
