Every election we hear the same thing: "Vote Strategically." This is due to an outdated system that forces people to choose between hopes and fears. I’ll keep fighting for the fair voting system that we deserve. 💚 #Elxn45 #NanaimoLadysmith #nanaimo #snuneymuxw #StrategicVoting #ElectoralReform

I’m shocked and saddened by this horrific incident, the senseless deaths and injuries at the Lapu Lapu Day festival in Vancouver. My heart goes out to the victims, their families and friends and to the Filipino community. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

For too long, we’ve let foreign corporations profit off our resources while Canadian workers and families are left behind. We can build a stronger, fairer economy that adds value here at home, creates good jobs, and protects our environment. Join me, let's make it happen. Vote Green on 4/28 💚

20,000 people in #Nanaimo-Ladysmith don’t have a family doctor. Our hospital is overcrowded and public healthcare is under threat. We need real federal investment—not more privatization. The Green Party has a plan. Here’s how we fix it 👇

Time to treat this like the crisis it is. We act fast in emergencies. We don’t wait for things to get worse. The Green Party has a plan, help us make it happen. #HealthCareCrisis #ActNow #VoteForIt
The image depicts a hospital, overlaid with a black gradient. A red bar with rounded ends is centred at the top of the image, containing a header that reads “Healthcare is a crisis” in bold text. It continues in smaller text: “So why aren’t we acting like it?” A green bar with rounded ends is centred halfway down the image, containing text that reads “The Green Party”, which continues in larger text: “has a plan.” In between the bars, body text reads, “Emergency rooms are overrun. Millions don’t have a family doctor. This is a crisis, so why are we doing so little to fix it?”A background image of a medical lecture being taught is overlaid by a green half-circle at the bottom of the image. A small red bar reads “Step one:” Inside the half-circle, a header reads “Pass the Primary Care Health Act”, which continues in smaller text, “Our Primary Care Health Act would guarantee access to primary care by expanding community health clinics and training the next generation of health workers, especially in underserved regions.”A background image of different pharmaceuticals is overlaid by a green half-circle at the bottom of the image. A small red bar reads “Step two:” Inside the half-circle, a header reads “Strengthen our Universal System”, which continues in smaller text, “Mental health care, dental care, pharmacare, and addiction services should all be part of universal healthcare. The Greens would make that a reality, so no one has to choose between their health and their rent.”
A background image of a medical professional is overlaid by a green half-circle at the bottom of the image. A small red bar reads “Step three:” Inside the half-circle, a header reads “Invest in the people who care for us”, which continues in smaller text, “We'll hire 7,500 new family doctors, nurses, and nurse practitioners over five years. We’ll establish a $25/hour minimum wage for PSWs and long-term care workers, and provide permanent funding for Indigenous-led healing programs.”

I started my birthday today picking up garbage along the E&N rail trail with the five local Rotary Clubs. I’m a member of Nanaimo Rotary. The Rotary motto is “Service Above Self”. Those are words I live by and the reason why I’m running to be your member of Parliament again.
