B.C. Premier David Eby said talks with Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber on the Vancouver Whitecaps' future were ``constructive,'' as relocation concerns grow.
Garber is in Vancouver for FIFA Congress events and met with Eby on Wednesday, following reports that the league has discussed relocating the club, with Las Vegas a leading option.
Eby released a video Wednesday night saying the province is ``at the table fighting hard'' to keep the team in Vancouver, calling its loss ``not an option.''

Hours later, a now-deleted post from Garber's X account replied: ``Liar liar pants on fire.''
A league spokesperson later said the commissioner's account was hacked.
The province has offered financial concessions tied to BC Place Stadium, but has ruled out buying the team.
