he College is calling for real solutions: more family doctors, team-based care, streamlined credentials, and less paperwork. This matches our NDP work on Doctors for Everyone — because family medicine is the backbone of our system. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #HealthCare #DoctorsForEveryone #GordJohnsMP

I don’t weigh in on Alberta politics — every province charts its own course. But the message from #ForeverCanadian resonates: we’re stronger together. Here in Courtenay–Alberni, our work in ship-recycling, local food, and climate-resilient forestry depends on a united Canada. Forever Canadian.

Every year before I head home for Remembrance Day, I visit the National Military Cemetery. A quiet moment to honour those who never returned, and the families and communities forever changed by their sacrifice. We recommit ourselves to peace. Lest we forget.

Last week I met with Harold Davis and Mike McGlennon from Persian Gulf Veterans of Canada. They’ve spent 35 years fighting for proper recognition — “battle honours” — the Liberals promised. I asked in the House: why isn’t the funding in the budget? We must honour our veterans.

Honouring my friend and colleague Matt Jeneroux as he steps down from Parliament. We worked side-by-side on men’s mental health, including Fathers Day on the Hill. His “Hi Dad” work has opened space for connection and healing, . I’ll miss him in the House. Wishing him and his family the very best.

Honoured to attend Honouring Women Veterans on Parliament Hill last night. Every Veteran I spoke with echoed the same message: it’s time for action on the ACVA report. Their service deserves more than words — it deserves results. #VeteransWeek # Honoured WomenVeterans

Tomorrow’s budget is a chance to deliver for Canadians: a biomass tax credit to create clean-energy jobs; a national aerial wildfire fleet to protect communities; Indigenous-led ship repair/recycling in Port Alberni; my bill to simplify disability benefits; and real housing & cost-of-living relief.

On Oct 21, I wrote to the Minister of Fisheries & Oceans urging the return of the Ghost Gear Fund—cut in Budget 2024 despite proven success cleaning marine debris & creating local jobs. Canadians deserve leadership on ocean protection. Our planet deserves no less. Sign petiton here: bit.ly/47yGXVo

Honoured to stand with Indigenous leadership at the opening of Ahousaht First Nation's 35 new affordable rental homes in Port Alberni. This is what nation-building looks like — locally-led, deeply rooted, built for community. More to come. #HousingForAll

Met with Minister Olszewski to push for a stronger federal wildfire response: a national fire & flood team, federal aerial firefighting capacity (incl. Coulson’s proposal), a Youth Climate Corps, & better coordination with provinces. Very positive discussion. #ClimateAction

Honoured to welcome the “Peace Trainers” back to Ottawa for the #PeaceTrain. Peace isn’t passive—it’s built daily through compassion, courage & education. Canada must be a stronger voice for peace & justice at home & abroad. #PeaceAndJustice #NDP

Been a Blue Jays fan my whole life — through the highs, heartbreaks, and those unforgettable World Series wins. All of Vancouver Island is behind our Jays as the fall classic begins! Let’s make some new memories.

If it wasn’t one thing, it would’ve been something else. Trump’s suspension of trade talks isn’t about one ad—it’s about instability hurting Canadian workers, families & small businesses. We need leadership that defends jobs, fair trade & rural communities. #cdnpoli #FairTrade #SupportWorkers

Yesterday I introduced a bill to make Oct 22 Peacetime Service and Sacrifice Memorial Day—a national day to honour CAF members who lost their lives in service here at home, including Cpl Nathan Cirillo and WO Patrice Vincent. Their courage and sacrifice must never be forgotten.

Joined colleagues across party lines for the All-Party Climate Caucus inaugural reception. Great to connect with Oceana Canada’s Kim Elmslie as we discussed tackling toxic & plastic pollution. It’s time for Parliament to match Canada’s grassroots leadership. #cdnpoli
