Year in review: BC Premier David Eby discusses Trump, drug decriminalization and family traditions

It's been an eventful 2024 for Premier David Eby after he was re-elected with a narrow majority in this year's election. In a special edition of Focus BC, Global BC legislative reporter Richard Zussman sits down to speak to David Eby about what he heard from British Columbians and what he wants to accomplish in 2025. Some topics discussed include what he learned in the 72 hours around election night that the two previous years on the job had not prepared him for, how Eby plans to mitigate the pressure of tariffs threatened by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump and what he thinks now that Trump is openly making fun of Canada. Also discussed is B.C.'s attempt at drug decriminalization, evolving involuntary care programs, speeding up permitting in the province, and addressing the basics needs of British Columbians. The pair also play a round of B.C. trivia and share stories about Eby's Christmas traditions.
