It was a special BC NDP convention - Dave’s first and my first as an MLA! Spending time with New Democrats from all over the province was amazing!

Forever grateful for all of the support from our Coquitlam’s-Maillardville crew! 🧡

We want people to have the supports they need to live with dignity and independence. So we’re making a change for couples who both receive disability assistance.

From my home in Coquitlam and all the way across the world, people honoured the fallen and reflected on the terrible cost of war.

A disappointing end but they sure did Canada proud. 11 innings in game 7, they were one swing away from victory. Next Year!
