Whether it's energy, critical minerals, or our access to markets, BC is a core part of standing strong in the face of Trump’s threats.
We're ready to work with the new federal government to do our part.

We're expecting another update from Vancouver Police later tonight about the tragedy at Lapu Lapu Day.
After that, we probably won't know much more for many hours.
Given the global attention already on it, a lot of speculation will inevitably happen.
The best thing you can do is not amplify it.

I can’t watch the Severance season finale until tomorrow, so until then, I’ll be living like it’s 1994: no reels, no stories, no Reddit, no spoilers. If you even think about posting a reaction, I will sever our friendship.

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts
The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

Tesla is under investigation in Canada for processing 8,600 vehicle sales in just three days before a federal EV credit expired.

Since 1997, BC has lead the fight against Big Tobacco, and today we won! The court has approved an historic $32.5B resolution.
The largest in Canadian history!
This is about reducing the harm. BC will be receiving $3.7B to strengthen our healthcare system.

You may be feeling angry, betrayed or anxious due to the economic attack on our country. Yet, there isn’t anywhere else I’d rather be than BC to face these US tariff threats.
We will be firm in our resolve to win this fight. And we will do it by standing together and standing strong for BC.

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union.
If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South.
Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.
