Rustad’s attempt to weaponize mental health is a reminder of why stigma thrives, and, a disgusting demonstration of his personal morals. Mental health is health. It isn’t a weakness or a talking point to be exploited. It’s a reality we all live with. It’s time to #ResignNowRustad.

Thank you to everyone who supported, donated, and volunteered. The result isn’t what we hoped, but I’m proud of the campaign we ran, the people we engaged, and the conversations we sparked across B.C. But we still have a planet and a future to fight for.

What unites us is stronger than what divides us. #DrawTheLine brought us together to confront the big issues, and to build a future where no one is left behind. Today we demanded action on climate, housing, justice, reconciliation, and an end to genocide.

I’ll take your #1 with pride, but I’ll take your #2 with gratitude. Ballots are in your inbox, vote ABA and bet on the middle candidate being the best! 🍋‍🟩 #bcpoli #ABA4Leader #BCGreens

Progressive, articulate, people first leadership that delivers. Grateful for the endorsement from Stephanie Hendy, clinical exercise physiologist & kinesiologist; former BC Green candidate. Together we’ll connect communities, cut costs, and lead with listening. 🍋‍🟩 #ABA4Leader #bcpoli #BCGreens

Gas nozzles don’t change by brand. EV chargers shouldn’t either. Any make, any model, any station—one plug. As Leader, I will push Ottawa to set a single EV fast-charging standard. #ABA4Leader #bcpoli

Breaking news! Stuart Mackinnon, former Vancouver Park Board Chair & longtime Green Commissioner is endorsing our campaign. His record of service and experience means a lot. Let’s build a party ready to lead BC. 🍋‍🟩 #bcpoli #ABA4Leaer

Honoured to have Dave Wharton backing my campaign. With his mental health background and work as an FMCBC director on the Outdoor Recreation Council of BC, Dave gets what matters. 🍋‍🟩 #ABA4Leader #bcpoli

Honoured to be endorsed by Sarah Gabrielle Baron (former GPC leadership candidate & shadow critic). That’s a vote for bold direction and experienced leadership, exactly what the BC Greens need on day one. 🍋‍🟩 #ABA4Leader #bcpoli

Loved being at the Saanich Fair yesterday! I had lots of great conversations with local Greens and community members, and even made it out with some tasty treats from local producers. 🍋‍🟩

Big thanks to my good friend Nicole Charlwood for coming out to my coffee chat, and for introducing me to so many Nelson Greens! Nelson Pride was amazing, so happy we could walk together!! 🌈🍋‍🟩

Join me and special guest Nicole Charlwood at The Kootenay Bakery Cafe Cooperative for a conversation about building a sustainable, affordable, and healthier future, together! 🍋‍🟩 📍 377 Baker Street, Nelson, BC 🗓 Saturday, August 30th ⏰ 3–4:30 PM #ABA4Leader #bcpoli

It’s time to mandate all-in pricing in BC. What you see should be what you pay. Simple changes like this will make everyday life easier for everyone. #ABA4Leader #bcpoli 🍋‍🟩

Reclaiming our rails is about reconnecting communities, boosting business, putting people first, and of course, trains! 🚆🍋‍🟩 #ABA4Leader #bcpoli

It was great to join JFM Greens and Jeremy & Rob for a Green Lunch! Great conversations, thoughtful questions, and a really positive response to my vision for our future. Thanks to everyone who came out and shared your time and energy 💚 #bcpoli #ABA4Leader 🍋‍🟩

The federal government just forced Air Canada flight attendants back to work, less than 12 hours into their strike. This is a dangerous precedent. The right to strike is a cornerstone of workers’ rights, and no gov’t should be tipping the scales for corporations. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCGreens🍋‍🟩

Earlier in the campaign, I had an awesome time in Victoria with BC Green MLA Rob Botterell and other experts talking about the future of proportional representation! I loved connecting with so many passionate Greens working for a fairer democracy, it’s about time! 🍋‍🟩#ABA4Leader

I’m ready to lead on day one, but I need to be ranked #1 on your ballot to make it real. Pledge today: adamba.ca/pledge ✅ Years of proven BC Green leadership ✅ Took on a Premier & his cabinet, and won ✅ Bold, grounded, and inclusive vision for BC 🍋‍🟩#ABA4Leader

Vancouver Pride, always iconic, always a protest. 🌈 There was so much love, so many hugs, and a whole lotta people saying “hell yea” for queer leadership in BC politics. Let’s make history: adamba.ca/pledge 🍋‍🟩#ProtectTheDolls

When the former Premier said young people were “blowing it for the rest of us” during the pandemic, I spoke up, loudly and publicly. That’s leadership: not waiting for a title, but stepping up when it matters. Just one more reason I’m ready on Day One. 🍋‍🟩 #ABA4Leader

Our agreement with the BC NDP has delivered real progress, from protecting Fairy Creek to launching reviews of primary care, forestry, and Clean BC, to expanding access to housing and transit. This is what happens when politicians focus on solutions, not headlines. #ABA4Leader 🍋‍🟩

We’re calling it the Dancing Green Tour, and it’s not just about showing up. It’s about organizing, energizing, and building something real in every corner of BC. /2

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨 Samantha, thank you. I’m so grateful to have your support. 💚 As a city councillor, you’ve shown such leadership on issues like climate and housing, it’s been bold, principled, and deeply impactful. I’m proud to have you with me as we fight for a future here in BC. 🍋‍🟩#ABA4Leader

Our first week was such a vibe.🍋‍🟩 We kicked things off with a road trip from Victoria to Kamloops and back to Vancouver — over 800 (gorgeous) kilometres of BC — and we managed to drive it all gas-free!⚡💚 #ABA #VoteABA🍋‍🟩 #BCPoli #BCGreens #BCGreenLeadership

Let’s believe in British Columbia, together! Join me at adamba.ca 🍋‍🟩 #bcpoli #ABA

My thoughts are with Minister Bowinn Ma, her family, and her constituency staff, after a serious incident at her office. Everyone deserves to be safe at work, including all MLAs and constituency staff. We want our very best to serve this province, and we must keep them safe while they serve.

Political violence in all forms is unacceptable. I am grateful that Minister Ma, her family, and staff are physically unharmed. We need strong action from law enforcement to seek out the perpetrators. Our society must have zero tolerance for these actions.

I’m proud to share that at our last Provincial Council meeting, we passed a motion I brought forward to review @bcgreens.bsky.social’s suppliers and update our procurement policies to ensure we prioritize local British Columbian and Canadian companies wherever possible. 🇨🇦 1/2 #bcpoli

The tariffs are a dumb idea. They are designed to weaken the economy, hamper our industry, and worst of all, hurt Canadians from coast to coast to coast. I was happy to see in the 2025 budget protections for core services in BC, now is not the time to trim back our support system. /1

While some abandon their commitment to democracy and freedom, Ukraine continues to lead the global push against fascism. As a true friend and ally, Canada must stand firm in supporting Ukraine and its right to a free and sovereign state. #SlavaUkraini

It was exciting to hear from former Premier Campbell about his time in the Legislature and his experience as Leader of the BC Liberals. While we don't see eye to eye on many issues, we had lots of passionate discussions in our class today about how we can work towards addressing the many issues 1/2

Congratulations to the Ontario Greens on a strong and people focused campaign! I’m happy to see Mike Schreiner and Aislinn Clancy re-elected, and future Green MPP Matt Richter get even closer to Queens Park.

Proud tonight, let’s go Canada! 🇨🇦 #WeWon #4Nations

Addressing governance issues is important, but so is maintaining accountability. Both the lack of collaboration outlined in the special advisor’s report and the removal of elected officials sets a concerning precedent. We can do so much better. #bcpoli #adamba #ABA

To the end of an extraordinary chapter: I have been so proud to work alongside you, Sonia. Thank you for everything. #bcpoli

500 people are now worth over $10 trillion collectively. Billionaires thrived this year while the rest of us struggled. It’s past time to tax the 1%, we need to fight for ourselves. #TaxTheRich www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/

Conservatives vote against a tax break, odd right? The missing detail: it was a tax break for the rest, not the rich. #cdnpoli

There will be lots of discussion about the impacts of these tariffs, but know this: anyone who supports them doesn’t stand with our country, its interests, or the workers and industries who will bear the brunt of it. #cdnpoli

And so the BC Conservatives have released their caucus of chaos.

While working families struggle with rising costs, the BCNDP gives their MLAs raises and titles. This isn’t fiscal responsibility; it’s politics as usual. BC Greens prioritize affordability and real solutions for the working class, not padding government’s pockets. bc.ctvnews.ca/all-ndp-mlas...

Climate change is not just a “down the road” problem, it’s the reality we live in. The 2021 floods were a warning, and this week we may again see the true dangers of climate change. www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...
