Species level isn't obtainable with the pictures provided on the Inaturalist observation.

Those are definitely Crematogaster ants.

Since there is no known Crematogaster species present in British Columbia, I would agree with the statement in the comments on inaturalist, that it would be a recently introduced species.

There is one known record of Crematogaster from Washington on the border with Oregon and a handful of scattered C. coaractata records from Oregon. There is always the possibility that very sparse and scattered populations of the genus ocasionally reach BC, Canada. That general region isn't known to have a lot of widely executed in-depth surveying.
