In depth reporting from @michellecyca.com (and beautiful photos from Paige Taylor White) on the continued conflict at Pipi7íyekw/Joffre Lakes Park. "Valeriote told The Narwhal he worries the ministry’s unilateral communications, contradicted by Líl̓wat, will exacerbate growing tensions." #bcpoli

Stay safe on the water this summer! Always wear a PFD when using a watercraft (including paddleboards), and check the forecast (weather, tides and currents) before you head out. More water safety tips here ⬇️ www.squamishreporter.com/2026/06/02/t...

BC Green MLA Rob Botterell was asked how he felt as the B.C. NDP’s bill gutting the FOI Act passed into law. “My heart is broken,” he said. #bcpoli

The BC NDP is handing millions to LNG proponents and rolling out the red carpet for energy-hungry AI data centres. Meanwhile, ordinary British Columbians are being asked to tighten their belts, accept cuts to affordable housing programs, face growing pressure in health care & conserve water.

British Columbians deserve a government willing to lead with courage, transparency, and a long-term vision. The BC Greens will continue to fight for that future. #bcpoli

Province delivered distraction, not affordability, this spring A lacklustre spring session from the BC NDP has left the BC Greens feeling like the lone progressive voice in the BC Legislature. Our look back on the Spring Session: bcgreencaucus.ca/bc-green-cau... #bcpoli

As grocery prices rise and supply chains are disrupted, billionaires are buying up BC farmland -- further jeopardizing BC's food supply. www.countrylifeinbc.com/foreign-land...

Question Period just wrapped up, and Premier's Estimates are about to begin! This is opposition's chance to question the Premier on BC Budget 2026, and his vision for BC. MLA Valeriote will be up in just a few minutes. Tune in here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzKO... #bcpoli

Five years ago, British Columbians learned of news that can only be described as horrific: the discovery of unmarked and undocumented burials at the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.

I absolutely love this for us in BC!!! Thank you so much @bcgreencaucus.bsky.social

As drought conditions worsen across the province, the BC NDP are telling British Columbians to conserve water, while selling water off to corporations. We're calling on the Province to be more transparent with how it’s safeguarding its most precious resource. #bcpoli

Disability Assistance rates in British Columbia are still $1000 per month below the poverty line, and haven’t been raised across the board in 5 years, despite rampant inflation. BC Green MLA Valeriote asked the Minister when she'll raise the rates. #bcpoli #pwd

Great to see the BC Greens pressing the Public Safety Minister on my recent report that the province and RCMP are swapping info on treaty negotiations and climate actions. It would be nice if the Minister could explain the difference between "monitoring" and "sharing of information."

The BC NDP are renaming the Site C dam after John Horgan. You mean this John Horgan? #bcpoli

Thanks to FOI requests from @thetyee.ca reporter @amandafollett.bsky.social we know that RCMP-CRU is monitoring Treaty negotiations and climate advocates, and sharing that information with various Provincial Ministries. So today in Question Period we asked what info they're sharing, and why #bcpoli

The Ministry of Forests has lowered the fees to export raw logs. They think they can log their way out of our forestry crisis. It’s time for this Province to implement the Old Growth Strategic Review, and follow the roadmap laid out by countless expert reports. Question Period today 👇 #bcpoli

FOI Boy (MLA @robbotterell.bsky.social ) spent hours in Committee yesterday, questioning the Minister about Bill 9, the Freedom of Information and Privacy Protection Amendment Act. (We oppose Bill 9, as it will gut the FOI Act) You can catch up on debates here: www.leg.bc.ca/hansard-cont... #bcpoli

By supporting Bill 20 into Committee stage, the BC Green Caucus will have the opportunity to place concerns about this specific legislation on the public record, and hold the government accountable for how it is addressing broader issues within the treaty process. #bcpoli

Statement from Rob Botterell, MLA for Saanich North and the Islands, on the BC Greens’ support for the Second Reading of Bill 20, the K’ómoks Treaty Act: #bcpoli bcgreencaucus.ca/bc-green-cau...

On Saturday I hosted a public forum discussing the impacts of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA), featuring panelists Geoff Plant, Andrew Petter, and Adam Olsen. Read Geoff Meggs' summary here ⬇️ #bcpoli

Today in Question Period, BC Green MLA Valeriote asked the Minister of Parks to meaningfully collaborate with the Lil’wat and N’Quatqua Nations on the management of Pipi7íyekw / Joffre Lakes Park. Uncertainty hurts everyone, and it's up to the Ministry to offer clarity. #bcpoli #joffrelakes

Before British Columbians are asked to accept more pollution, more public risk, and more corporate subsidies, this government owes people honest answers about the true environmental, economic, and health impacts of LNG expansion. #bcpoli

Province and Federal Government Side with Corporate Spin in LNG Canada Phase 2 Push #bcpoli bcgreencaucus.ca/bc-greens-ln...

MLA @robbotterell.bsky.social spoke with @sitkamedia.bsky.social yesterday afternoon, before staying up until 4am trying to put a pause on Bill 9 (FOI Act). The fight continues today, against this seriously flawed bill. #bcpoli

Yesterday, MLA Botterell (aka FOI Boy) spoke in support of a Conservative amendment to "hoist" Bill 9 the FOI Act. A "hoist" delays debate on the bill for 6 months. Things got pretty heated. #bcpoli youtu.be/Z086kh080Ok?...

Want to get to Whistler from Vancouver, and don't own a car? Good luck. Day 3 of MLA Valeriote asking for regional transit in the Sea to Sky. #bcpoli #regionaltransit #seatosky youtu.be/gkoZaG2NNSs?...

MLA Valeriote presses BC's Minister of Transit on delays to delivering regional transit for the Sea to Sky. #bcpoli youtu.be/9k0EPGywQtU

Today I rose in the house to honour the National Day of Mourning for workers killed or injured on the job. Every worker deserves to feel protected during their shift, and come home safe. #bcpoli #workersrights youtu.be/ycGTiWgFAIQ

I’ve been polite and patient for 16 months – I've received repeated assurances from the Premier and the Minister of Transportation & Transit. But progress has been very slow, and I’m not sure how much longer I can hold off the impatience of my constituents, local governments and First Nations.

The BC Greens have tabled a motion to censure the MLA for Kelowna - Lake Country - Coldstream. We’re defending the reputation of BC’s Legislative Assembly & maintaining public trust in our governing institutions. What’s next? #bcpoli /1

The Sea to Sky corridor desperately needs public transit. Why are the BC NDP stalling? BC Green Jeremy Valeriote (MLA for West Vancouver - Sea to Sky) in question period today: #bcpoli

Today the Province announced that they're asking the Feds for "online harms legislation." The BC Greens have been pressing the Province to regulate A.I. Today's announcement falls far short of what's needed. Our statement: bcgreencaucus.ca/bc-greens-ar... #bcpoli

Today in Question Period MLA Botterell asked: 1. What is the status of the Mental Health Act review, a year after it was announced 2. How are health professionals supposed to respond to "clinical guidance memos" that read as if they've been scrawled on the back of a napkin. #bcpoli

BC’s industrial water rates are among the lowest in Canada. Mining, oil & gas, and bottled water companies only pay two dollars and twenty-five cents for a MILLION litres of water. $2.25. Pocket change. #bcpoli

MLA Valeriote honours the one year anniversary of BC's Lapu Lapu Day Festival tragedy. "As members of this House, we all remember together, and we must all take action together." #britishcolumbia youtu.be/0ln0K0cvppU

1/3 In response to Independent MLA Tara Armstrong’s horrendous statements in the house today, BC Green MLA Rob Botterell has tabled a motion to censure her. #bcpoli

"One of the strongest attacks on Bill-9 came from Green MLA Rob Botterell. He is literally one of the fathers of freedom of information in B.C. Under the 1990s NDP government, Botterell headed the public service team that put together the existing Act, earning accolades across the country. #bcpoli

A.I. is rapidly reshaping our world, with implications for public safety, labour, arts, climate, and affordability. A people’s assembly uses a collaborative approach to decision-marking, giving the public a voice in this multifaceted issue. #bcpoli #airegulation

The BC Greens are calling on the Province to strike a People’s Assembly on artificial intelligence (AI), citing wide-ranging threats to people and the planet. #bcpoli

BC Greens call on MLAs to get real and talk to their kids about climate change. #bcpoli

We hope that the Premier’s decision to stand down DRIPA amendments means his government is finally ready to collaborate with First Nations, as equals. Eby must act on his predecessor John Horgan’s words: ‘Reconciliation is ‘not for wimps.’ #bcpoli

The problem isn’t DRIPA. The problem is the government’s failure to implement DRIPA. We provided a constructive plan to resolve tension, increase certainty, and advance DRIPA to the government. bcgreencaucus.ca/wp-content/u... #bcpoli

The Government has spent months avoiding and delaying good faith negotiations with First Nations. We hope that they have now realised that the only path forward is active reconciliation, as defined in legislation. #bcpoli

BC Greens remind Eby reconciliation is “not for wimps,” real work starts now. #bcpoli #DRIPA bcgreencaucus.ca/bc-greens-re...

there's 28 stories here about Tuesday, from all over the province. this is a great thing that only CBC could do. it might shift your thinking about what's happening if you read and listen to all this together. read everything you can find about April 14. all of it www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

After over 30 years of negotiation and public consultations, this spring, two Modern Treaties are going through the BC Legislature to become law. What does that mean? 🧵/1 #bcpoli

Since Woodfibre LNG was first proposed in 2014, communities in Átl'ḵa7tsem / Howe Sound have worried it would be larger, dirtier, and more damaging than this government claimed. Evidence is mounting that those worries will become reality. MLA Valeriote in Question Period today: #bcpoli

"Every death in this crisis is a policy choice. This province once led the way on harm reduction. Now, it is failing to show the leadership needed to save lives.” -- @jervaler.bsky.social political bravery is what's lacking in this government, and that's what this emergency demands

We’ll continue to advocate for evidence-based solutions to this crisis to prevent further loss of life. That means expanding voluntary, community-based treatment, providing regulated pharmaceutical alternatives, and establishing consistent, evidence-based standards of care across the province.
