Story summary

British Columbia Premier David Eby will speak to local politicians at their annual convention amid speculation of a potential snap election. The speech comes just days after he warned Elections BC and his caucus to be "election ready" due to disruptions caused by the US trade war. The possibility of a provincial vote overlapping with upcoming municipal elections from September 19 to October 17 has raised concerns, as there are 3,500 candidates running in local races. UBCM president Cori Ramsay urged Premier Eby to respect the integrity of separate election periods, emphasizing it would be unfair to residents if campaigns were held simultaneously. During his speech on Friday morning, Eby vowed to scrap plans for BC Ferries to purchase replacement ferries from China and promised other initiatives aimed at stabilizing local industries like forestry.
