Today in the house a transphobic question was asked. I was extremely disappointed by the question and the disregard for the harm and danger this languages causes

Hate should have no place in the Leg and it has no place in BC.

British Columbians are doing their best to buy BC when they can and they expect the government to do the same.
Now is the time to continue to support Canadian jobs, find new markets and develop strong ties with countries that aren’t threatening us.

Had a great lunch with members of the Truck Loggers Association today with colleagues.
Fun fact: Barry Simpson approached to inform me that he’d worked with a Lajeunesse at Jordan River in the early ‘70s. I told him that would be my dad, Bob. So, needless to say I have a new friend.
