Glad for him!! Away from the mentally unhinged BC LIBERALS, enjoying life. Finally a free man!! WTG

Yikes,Horgan a hypocrite is trending in Canada,in the coal business?

Well, here's a rare example of going woke but not going broke.

So he Fucking introduces a carbon tax on us and then joins a business that contributes a huge amount of carbon into the Atmosphere. 🤬🤬🤬🖕

Amazing!! This guy was against the Trans Mountain Pipeline twinning and LNG terminals that would help export Canadian energy to partners in the Pacific. Now after retiring he will now lobby for coal, a much worse hydrocarbon pollutant.

Hahahahah

Hahahahahahaha

I had thought this was an April Fools joke but it isn't it seems. Hypocrisy personified. Then they wonder why people don't trust politicians. Greedy, self serving, disingenuous hypocrite just lining his pockets...

Is he taking every tool in his toolbox? 😂😂😂

Hahaha hahahaha hahaha hahahaha hahaha hahahaha hahaha hahahahaha hahaha hahahahaha hahaha hahahahaha

Amazing how he got medical treatment so quick JennyKwanBC

Typical Socialist Scumbag! Remember: Socialism is for the People NOT The Socialist!

Have you noticed that all of these big union promoting / big business bashing NDP politicians all retire and head directly to, yep you know it…. BOARDS OF BIG BUSINESS. Was the “I support workers” motto just BS to get you elected and primed for a seat at the big table ?!?

Wait what LMFAO COAL LMAO LMAO LMAO BUILD THE PIPE LINE YOU NDP VEGAN FREAKS

Yet he preached climate change while he was premier! I guess he follows the money..or is it science? its so hard to tell the difference these days🤣🤣

None of these politicians or former politicians have ever been about we the people. They’ve always been about themselves and how much money can they make? They are selfish, not self less.

steeletalk jodyvance 😱

Horgan has done a great job by this appointment to remind BCers hat the Province - while preaching climate change is North Americas largest exporter of coal. Most of it is low-grade American coal going to Asia/China to be burned 🔥 - while the NDP levies a carbon tax on you.

Actually, Vancouver Sun, you need correcting: He's not joining any coal business company. He's joining a new branch of a company that is divesting from non-renewable oil & gas and turning to mining which supports electric technologies. That company's name is Elk Valley Resources.

too bad his cancer lost it's fight.

This is so hilarious! Good for him! 😆

So complaining about old growth being cut down ( which grows back) but doesn’t care about extracting coal destroying the landscape forever. Right

Giant sell out, why not a logging company to finish off old growth, or start a whaling fleet to knock off some of the Hump Back, but said no to LNG, enjoy your retirement with you filthy coal dollars, loser.

He’s laughing all the way to the bank!

My gawd, the hypocracy is beyond belief. Supports coal but not LNG. Self serving elitist.

Cool

bcndp jjhorgan WHATS UP WITH THE LIES? Thought he wanted family time? Wow can’t even trust the NDP now!!

Wow coal is bad until they pay you enough. We hat a disgusting move

I'm pretty sure that should be illegal for 5 years after resigning

K…so it wasn’t an April Fools joke. That’s hilarious 😆

Lol

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
