The Hardy Buoys are on the case – to make delicious, made-in-B.C. smoked salmon.

Yesterday, I had a chance to tour the Hardy Buoys Smoked Fish facility, and of course it was also a chance to buy a whole bunch of smoked salmon. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Turning reconciliation into a wedge issue might generate headlines, but it would come at the expense of jobs and prosperity for British Columbians.

We all want to build the B.C. of our dreams. To get there, the path forward is together — or not at all.

Canadians need their governments focused on real projects, not a fantasy pipeline with no investors.

BC has billions of dollars in privately led projects that are going to create thousands of jobs and bring prosperity to Canada. We cannot put them at risk.
