B.C. Premier David Eby’s office declined an interview request, referring questions to the energy ministry, which, in turn, referred questions to the regulator. The BC Energy Regulator also declined an interview request and did not directly answer many questions. In an unsigned emailed response, the regulator said compliance and enforcement officers use a “graduated enforcement model” to address situations where a company is failing to meet government regulations.

Pfft. I don’t understand why there seems such a vast difference between BC’s NDP and the rest of Canada.

It’s like a wedding of the Liberals and Cons, with a side of UCP thrown in for good measure.
