British Columbia Premier's Twin Brother Steps In

0:00It's April 2nd. Welcome to Vancouver News Today, powered by AI, I'm Corey with the story. British Columbia premier David Eby, kept things seamless in his office by swapping out his deputy director of communications, James Smith, for his. Identical twin brother George. No new face needed. George steps back into the role he held years ago, under the late premier John Horgan, after getting promoted to director of communications for both. Horgan and Eby, until last year. The twins have mixed up politicians, staff, and reporters for years working side-by-side in the legislature, turning heads with their lookalike vibes. James wrapped up nearly four years as Eby's main media contact last month, and jumped to director of government relations at the University of Victoria. He's glad George is filling in temporarily on secondment, until mid-June, to train fresh staff, calling it a special run with his brilliant twin brother. Pitching in just in time.
