This morning I wrote to 17 Pride groups to say we’ll proceed with their request for a motion to support the Human Rights Code. Every MLA who supports the Code should vote to defend it. We need to stand up for human rights, not give ground to those who would take them away.

BC Gov was the first to announce that we’d appeal the decision of Cowichan Tribes v. AG Canada et al. We strongly disagree with the court’s treatment of private property, but even as this case continues, we know lasting solutions are found through dialogue & collaboration with First Nations partners

What the Cowichan decision really means, and how we move forward together
Niki Sharma and Spencer Chandra-Herbert: The fact is, you can respect Aboriginal title and protect private property.

Spearhead is an industry leader in advanced timber fabrication – creating beautiful, custom designed, value-added wood projects here in BC and across the world. I had the opportunity in the spring to meet the team and tour their site in Nelson.

Holy 💩. So the BC Cons' position on infrastructure projects is that they would cancel projects that are already underway, starting with the Pattullo Bridge replacement (which is almost complete!!). So basically: Cut everything. Cut bridges, transit, schools, hospitals, cancer centres. Ok. Noted.

#WorldPressFreedomDay in @BCLegislature Still thinking about what we heard about current risks to journalists and journalism. 124 journalists killed in 2024 almost as many as killed in WW2. @keithbaldrey recalled when #Burnaby had 3 local newspapers. It now has none.

Our government has been making record investments in public infrastructure – like the #BurnabyNorth Secondary School . That’s why we’ve introduced new legislation to get shovels in the ground, so we can build infrastructure faster and communities like #Burnaby can thrive.

Did you know there are grants and tax credits to help both renters and home owners? Some renters can now claim as much as $400 a year off their taxes. Starting again in May, home owners may qualify to defer or reduce their property taxes. Learn more: gov.bc.ca/BCBenefitsCo...

BC's Legislature is now in session, and our govt is outlining concrete steps to strengthen our economy, create good jobs, diversify where BC sells its products, and strengthen access to health care. We are committed to meeting the moment, by ensuring govt can face the challenges of a changing world.

To be clear: this is not a fight we started or wanted. But in the face of these tariff threats from the US, we have two choices: We can surrender or we can stand up. We choose to stand up for British Columbians and all Canadians.

It’s more important than ever that we stand up for workers in BC. Especially as we look at Trump’s threats of a 25% tariff. We’ve won some major battles to bring fairness to workers, but there’s much more to do. We must ensure every worker in BC can build a good life here.
