If you’ve been to Sooke, you’ve seen Kōshin Moonfist. Cleaning the streets, welcoming visitors, sharing his wisdom.

It was sad to lose this Sooke legend when my constituency split!

Congratulations on the Medal of Good Citizenship, my friend! Well deserved ❤️

Reconciliation strengthens BC’s economy and our communities.

We reject racist, anti-indigenous rhetoric — and we’ll continue working in true partnership with First Nations to deliver jobs, certainty and prosperity for all British Columbians.

Throw the bums out.
Danielle Smith's MAGA machine is being rocked by the grassroots in Alberta who are done with their gaslighting and MAGA extremism.
The UCP brought in the recall petitions and now they are panicking that it is being used against them.
Keep it up Alberta resisters.

Every time lying Pete Hoekstra opens his mouth, he drives Canada further and further away from the United States.
Is that the plan?

Had a great meeting with members from the Federation of Post Secondary Educators. Thank you for your continued advocacy for your students and your faculty.

I'm so proud to have both Camosun and UVic in my riding, and am looking forward to see how our schools will continue shape the future of B.C.

I’m hearing there are high levels of emergency calls for ODs because of yet another veterinary anesthetic contaminating the illicit drug supply — medetomidine, which causes prolonged sedation. Alerts are coming in from all parts of the province.

2/2 Remember: don’t use alone and carry naloxone. Always give naloxone if you suspect opioid overdose, but the person might not regain consciousness because of the medetomidine. If you think it’s an OD, call 911 and follow the directions of the call taker.

Millions of Canadians are struggling. Yet the Liberals are demanding sacrifices from workers, while handing out billions to the wealthiest individuals and biggest corporations. New Democrats have a better plan: positive, constructive policies to build a stronger, fairer Canada.

When you’re sick, do you want to spend time and energy proving it to your employer?

We’re adding new rules to ensure that when you’re sick, when your kid is sick, you can get the rest you need. Without worrying about a doctor’s note.

New rules on sick notes eliminate unnecessary paperwork
Effective immediately, new rules limit when employers can ask for sick notes and will allow more time for health-care providers to spend with patients.

B.C. has joined every province, territory, and the federal government in signing the Canadian Mutual Recognition Agreement, a B.C.-led initiative that will make it easier for businesses to sell products across Canada and for people to buy Canadian-made goods.

This could threaten thousands of long-term renters and encourage bad faith evictions before next year’s FIFA World Cup.
 
Rents are down 10% partly because of these STR rules, but the BC Conservatives are trying to weaken and support repealing them entirely.
 
We won't let them.

When uncertainty and struggle come to our workers, we fight to protect their jobs and find them new opportunities.

We didn’t go to Asia just to represent BC, we were carrying the hopes of workers, families, and entire communities who rely on our forest industry.

BC is Burning: a real depiction of living with wildfire.

Murray Wilson made this film to raise our understanding. Wildfires are increasing, and we must learn as communities and as a province, the role we each have to play.

A key part of our #LookWest economic strategy is to diversify markets and create new opportunities.

We led the Canada-wide effort to break down trade barriers in Canada, making it easier for businesses to grow and thrive.

One agreement. One market. Unlimited opportunities.
