British Columbia billionaire Chip Wilson has put up yet another billboard message to voters, his third post outside his multimillion-dollar mansion in NDP Leader David Eby鈥檚 own riding.
The latest sign outside the Lululemon co-founder鈥檚 home says that if Eby and his party can鈥檛 balance B.C.鈥檚 budget then 鈥渨hat right does he have to tell us how to live our lives?鈥
The NDP has said their platform promises this election would cause government revenue to drop by more than $1.5 billion, while it forecasts the province鈥檚 budget deficit to increase next year to $9.6 billion.
Wilson鈥檚 first sign referred to the NDP as 鈥渃ommunist,鈥 while the second said Eby gives money away that he has already taken away from voters. Both signs were quickly vandalized.
B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad initially said he didn鈥檛 disagree that Eby was a communist, but rebuked Wilson鈥檚 second sign, saying the Conservatives aren鈥檛 planning tax breaks for billionaires.
Eby brushed off the criticism and used the signs to his advantage as part of his pitch on how the NDP would support people most in need.
