The BC Wrongful Death Law Reform Society addresses the NDP MLAs of British Columbia:
“I’m writing to you today to inform you that you are making one of the biggest mistakes of your political career and that is the implementation of No-Fault Insurance.”
On Canada Day, we would like to congratulate all of the other provinces and the Yukon Territory for already modernizing their wrongful death laws, in many cases long ago.
On behalf of British Columbians, we would like to apologize to the rest of Canada for our most westerly province still being stuck in the colonial era with our 174-year old wrongful death laws, whereby it’s still FREE to kill children, seniors, and the disabled.
John Horgan the Premier of BC is the Chief Virtue Signaller in charge.
He likes to grandstand and race hustle on social issues where he gets people fired up, but doesn’t actually have to do any work.
He has been completely silent on BC’s biggest human rights crisis and most discriminatory piece of legislation on the books – our antiquated wrongful death laws.
What we present here is an alternative to the proposed No-Fault insurance scheme announced in February 2020. An approach focused on root cause prevention of accidents would be a win-win for the government and the province.
The No-Fault is a win for the government, and a huge loss for the victims of motor vehicle accidents.

2024 Election – David Eby & the BC NDP have failed to keep their promise to modernize BC’s wrongful death laws within their 2020-2024 mandate of government.
John Rustad and the Conservative Party of BC have committed to modernize if elected.
