Whether it's energy, critical minerals, or our access to markets, BC is a core part of standing strong in the face of Trump’s threats. We're ready to work with the new federal government to do our part.

In the spirit of toxic positivity, I was handed a mug full of chopped fresh ripe mango this morning and that was very nice.

We're expecting another update from Vancouver Police later tonight about the tragedy at Lapu Lapu Day. After that, we probably won't know much more for many hours. Given the global attention already on it, a lot of speculation will inevitably happen. The best thing you can do is not amplify it.

mission accomplished, I guess

The Beaverton demands same debate invitation as The Rebel, even though we’re not as big a joke

Watching @bowinnma.bsky.social in Estimates and am so impressed. Well done, Minister.

I can’t watch the Severance season finale until tomorrow, so until then, I’ll be living like it’s 1994: no reels, no stories, no Reddit, no spoilers. If you even think about posting a reaction, I will sever our friendship.

MLA Darlene Rotchford returning to the @bclegislature.bsky.social virtually from her hospital bed to cast her vote in Chambers less than 6 hours after delivering her newborn daughter is definitely the most badass working-mom moment I've had the privilege of witnessing in #bcpoli.

Tesla is under investigation in Canada for processing 8,600 vehicle sales in just three days before a federal EV credit expired. The company claimed $43 million in credits over those three days. It was a big jump from usual sales volumes.

Since 1997, BC has lead the fight against Big Tobacco, and today we won! The court has approved an historic $32.5B resolution. The largest in Canadian history! This is about reducing the harm. BC will be receiving $3.7B to strengthen our healthcare system. news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...

We’re sending the US president a clear message: We will not be bullied and we never be the 51st state. 🇨🇦

That boulevard on Blanchard between Yates and Johnson is bound to be the best darn boulevard the City of Victoria has ever seen, presuming construction time is an indication. #yyj

We are fighting back hard in this trade war. And we will not stand down until the threat to British Columbia is over. Learn more: news.gov.bc.ca/32063

You may be feeling angry, betrayed or anxious due to the economic attack on our country. Yet, there isn’t anywhere else I’d rather be than BC to face these US tariff threats. We will be firm in our resolve to win this fight. And we will do it by standing together and standing strong for BC.

We didn’t ask for this fight, but we’re not going to shrink from it. This threat to our sovereignty has brought out a sense of pride and solidarity amongst all Canadians. Together, we're going to fight and we’re going to win. Read my full statement: news.gov.bc.ca/32054

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union. If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

I'm not going to read beyond the headline. I want it to be a surprise

These allegations go from bad to worse. Now they include that Minister of Health Adriana LaGrange deliberately interfered with the investigation into inflated contracts and took over their negotiations. If true, this would be a cover up of one of the biggest political scandals Alberta has seen.

I wonder what Google will do when the administration tells them to change the name of Canada (or more likely, parts of Canada).

People have gathered outside USAID HQ for press event with Democratic Congressmen Beyer, Raskin, Connolly and Olzewski and Senator Van Hollen where they're addressing the building's mysterious shutdown today in the midst of the Trump admin dismantling the agency. (Photos shared with me)

Congressional delegation outside USAID now: “We are here to shed a light on a crime unfolding before our eyes.”

NEW - BC Premier David Eby says British Columbia was looking at Starlink to deliver ‘last mile’ connectivity and is no longer considering the company for a government contract. #bcpoli

"Buy Canadian Instead" signs going up in BC Liquor stores

Difficult news today. We will have your back through this challenge. We will defend B.C. & act united to defend Canada. Today, Premier Eby directed government & agencies to exclude US suppliers from any new purchasing or procurement. It’s just one of the actions we are taking to defend Canada.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

As President-Elect Trump takes office, uncertainty around his promised, unjustified tariffs looms over Canada. As @davidebybc.bsky.social and @brendabailey.bsky.social outlined, Trump’s proposed tariffs would harm our economy, impact BC’s prov finances, & hurt people on both sides of the border.

Minister @adriandix.bsky.social is wearing excellent socks at this morning's Natural Resource Breakfast. #believe #tedlasso

Big announcement tonight by Premier @eby-david.bsky.social at the BC NRF: legislation coming to spring session: a bill to allow the BC Energy Regulator to act as one-window regulator for permits to support the North Coast Transmission Line & other electricity transmission projects. #bcpoli

When we changed rules in BC to allow fourplexes on single family lots, this is what we wanted to see. Multi generational living, more attainable housing for young families and grandparents close to grand kids. If it works for this family it can work for many more🙌🏾 dailyhive.com/vancouver/on...

Counsel Public Affairs Inc. has arrived in Prince George for the BC Natural Resources Forum! Thank you to Minister @jagrupbrar.bsky.social for joining us for breakfast this morning. As always, you are a delight to be around. #bcpoli

one of the most depressing realizations in politics is the day you understand that a lot of people would legitimately prefer to spend more money to make sure nobody “undeserving” gets a benefit than to make it accessible to everyone

Happy New Year! The BC Parliamentary Calendar is now live (#bcpoli):

BC businesses are the backbone of our growing economy. Our government is working to reduce permit approval times and standing up to defend job-creating BC businesses. Together, we’re building a BC where everyone can build a good life for themselves. (1/2)
