Protecting our coast is not a barrier to economic prosperity – it is the source of it. That’s why we’ve partnered with Coastal First Nations to sign the North Coast Protection Declaration and call on the federal government stand firm in its commitment to uphold the tanker ban.

Thank you Amelia and Misty for sharing your story of what the real life impacts are for victims and their families when intimate images are shared without consent. Regardless what side of the aisle we sit on, this is a non-partisan issue, and victims should always be put first.

This is community-led wildfire risk reduction. It’s how we prepare for the next wildfire season. With work like this, communities become safer, forests become healthier, and industry becomes more confident. Osoyoos Indian Band, Siya Forestry, and FESBC - well done. #BCWildfire

When stream flows drop, fish & wildlife are at risk. In some B.C. towns, summer residential use is 70% of total water use. Save water to protect rivers, species & avoid restrictions.

#BCWood in action. The new PNE Amphitheatre features the world’s largest timber arch roof, first of its kind to be built from mass timber. Just one way we can diversify is by getting creative. Finding bold uses for wood, creating new wood products & in turn more jobs. #BCForestry #bcpoli #bcgov

Spearhead is an industry leader in advanced timber fabrication – creating beautiful, custom designed, value-added wood projects here in BC and across the world. I had the opportunity in the spring to meet the team and tour their site in Nelson.

Great discussion with Alberta's Minister of Jobs, Economy and Trade, Joseph Schow, on breaking down interprovincial trade barriers for a truly integrated Canadian marketplace. I always thought Premier Dave Eby is tall. Turns out he has some competition! 😯

It was a fantastic day with perfect weather to celebrate pride in Vancouver! We were able to join in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community today and every day. Happy Pride, Vancouver! #bcpoli #bcndp #mlajennb #happypride #vancouverpride2025 #bcdayweekend

Just a couple features on my walking tour of Summerland with Mayor Doug Holmes: 60 affordable housing units under construction and new childcare spaces! 🏘️ I’m proud to be part of a government that makes these meaningful investments across BC.

Canadians are positive people. We’ve always been good neighbours, but we know how to stand up against threats to our sovereignty, our economy and our jobs.

With solid partnerships, we’re creating good jobs for BCers - now and into the future. Through our publicly owned, BC Hydro - we are building projects as critical to B.C.’s economic future as the North Coast Transmission Line.⚡️ 🧵[1/3]

No matter what Trump’s ambassador says, Canadians aren’t “mean and nasty” for choosing to buy Canadian and travel locally. We’re taking a stand against Trump’s threats to our sovereignty and standing on our own two feet. Let's hold the line.

Our government is making it easier than ever for internationally-trained doctors to bring their skills to B.C. We are implementing a four cornerstone approach of retention, redesign, recruitment, and training in order to relieve our #healthcareprofessional shortage. #healthcare

British Columbia has reached a trade agreement with Ontario. This will make it easier for people to work in both provinces, provide producers easier access to markets, while giving consumers more choice.

We sent coffee and tea to health care workers in Seattle so we could share the many benefits of working in our beautiful province. It’s a win-win situation – when more talented professionals join our health care system, patients benefit from compassionate, evidence-based care.

🎉 The expanded Penticton Oncology Clinic opens today at Penticton Regional Hospital! With double the treatment bays, added comfort & privacy, and room for 400 more patients each year, it brings better cancer care closer to home in the South Okanagan 💙 #CancerCare https://news.gov.bc.ca/32496

The Supreme Court of BC has certified our class action against McKinsey & Company, Inc., clearing the path to pursue those who helped promote and sell the opioid products that caused so much harm for families This marks another step forward in holding those accountable who fueled the opioid crisis

My mission since becoming Minister has been the same: standing up for workers and restoring confidence in forestry. I am humbled and prepared to serve as Chair of the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers, where I will defend that mission on the international stage. #BCForestry

Everyone deserves to live without threats to their safety. I’m asking Prime Minister Carney to list the Lawrence Bishnoi gang as a terrorist group in Canada, which will give police additional tools they need to stop and prevent the extortion of Canadians.
