Today, we honour generations of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples who have served with courage.
From the War of 1812 to Afghanistan, Indigenous veterans shaped Canada’s military history—yet many returned to discrimination.
Lest we forget.

Three people tied to violent extortion have been removed from Canada. Offenders will be pursued, arrested, charged, and may be deported.
Thanks to CBSA, RCMP, CFSEU, & local police in the B.C. Extortion Task Force.
We won't stop until these criminals are brought to justice.

This session we tabled our Vaping Product Damages & Health Care Costs Recovery Act. We’ve done this before - taking on the bad-faith actors - & we’ll continue to lead the way in protecting children & families while making corporate wrongdoers take accountability & pay for the public harms they cause

#ICYMI - we’re keeping basic auto insurance rates basic rates stable through to spring 2027. That means seven consecutive years without an increase!
On average, BC drivers are paying about $700 less than what people pay for auto insurance in Ontario, and about $440 less than what Albertans pay.

This afternoon the Intimate Images Protection Statutes Amendment Act received royal assent and was passed into law in BC. Proud of what this legislation will do to strengthen protections and supports for victims of sexual violence.

🎃 The streets are buzzing, joy in the air, trick-or-treaters everywhere, so please take care. Drive slowly, stay alert, & plan ahead, so every ghoul & ghost gets safely to bed. Whether you're behind the wheel or out walking, let's keep the scares on the doorstep - not on our roads 🚗

A powerful day yesterday as we gathered with the Japanese Canadian Legacies Society, First Nations partners, and @nikisharma.bsky.social for a blessing on the future site of the monument park that will honour Japanese Canadians who were forcibly displaced, dispossessed, and interned during WW2.

Thank you Amelia and Misty for sharing your story of what the real life impacts are for victims and their families when intimate images are shared without consent. Regardless what side of the aisle we sit on, this is a non-partisan issue, and victims should always be put first.

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.

Here, like across Canada, people are concerned about the cost of living. Happy to announce that for 7 years in a row, basic auto insurance rates in BC will not increase.
As of July 2024, #ICBC customers pay auto insurance rates $702 lower than rates in Ontario & $440 lower than what Albertans pay.
