Each digest repeats the same three points and attributes the comment to Doerkson, with Carney mentioned as the partner. - The digests contain no mention of any cost estimate, timeline, specific policy measures, or reactions from other political actors. They also omit any quotation beyond Doerkson’s summary and do not provide detail on how the proposed economic boost would be implemented. ### Centre - Seven centre-rated digests reported that British Columbia's premier-designate Lorne Doerkson said he and Prime Minister Mark Carney are aligned on the need to supercharge the economy, attract investment, and create good-paying jobs. Some digests noted Doerkson posted about the conversation on social media, stating it was productive and that B.C. has an enormous role to play in driving Canada's economic future. ### Right No separate framing summary. **Provisional coverage gap:** right.
