Interview with David Cochrane of CBC on the “rumoured” Alberta-Federal energy MOU. In BC, we support real projects. m.youtube.com/watch?v=z63H...

BC will be a leader in the global shift to clean energy. That’s why we’re investing $35 million through the CleanBC Industry Fund to help companies adopt clean technologies, cut emissions, and create local jobs that strengthen communities. Learn more: news.gov.bc.ca/32661

Announcing $35 million CleanBC Industry Fund to strengthen climate action. This fund: ✅Invested $368 million to electrify and to decarbonize ✅Cuts 14 million tonnes emission = 20% off of heavy-duty vehicle emissions 👉https://news.gov.bc.ca/32661

BC will be filing an appeal to the Cowichan Tribes v. AG Canada et al. BC Supreme Court decision and seeking a stay to pause implementation until the appeal is resolved. Our gov. is committed to protecting and upholding private property rights, while advancing the critical work of reconciliation

Cedar LNG is the largest Indigenous majority-owned LNG project in North America. Powered by BC electricity, it will be the cleanest and lowest-carbon LNG in the world.   This means more jobs that support families, long-term prosperity for the North. (1/2)

why hello there! @ekostories.bsky.social @rollwithheather.bsky.social @pulpliterature.bsky.social

Historic milestone! ⚡️@bchydro Site C’s 6th and final generating unit is now in service. I thank all the Site C workers whose dedication and hard work that helped secure BC’s clean energy future. 👉 youtu.be/eDMfU2zu1eY

Travelling BC gives me a unique opportunity to see the incredible community work happening across the province. Take Autumn Services in Fraser Lake, whom I met on my last tour. Senior support, all ages events, catering. A true pillar of their community. #bcpoli #bcgov

The HPV vaccine is a powerful tool to protect health and prevent cancer - we are expanding free access and making it easier for people to get immunized. Learn more: news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202... #HPVvaccine #CancerPrevention #bchealthcare

Together, with Treaty 8 First Nations in Fort St. John today - we are working on land restoration and other shared priorities.

We are growing our economy, diversifying our markets, and securing a prosperous future that benefits every British Columbian - while delivering lower emission energy to the world.

Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social and I joined with the Haisla Nation to announce the infrastructure required to run Cedar LNG on clean B.C. electricity - will be built. ⚡️ Because of this - Cedar will be one of the lowest emitting LNG facilities in the world. 👉 news.gov.bc.ca/32628

Back at LNG Canada with Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social to celebrate the first shipments out of what is the largest private sector investment in Canadian history. 🍁 This facility will produce some of the world's lowest-emission LNG and contribute .4% to Canada’s GDP. 👉 news.gov.bc.ca/32631

When completed the Haisla Nation Cedar LNG project will be one of the lowest emission plants in the world. Powering this major export project with clean electricity ensures that BC has the competitive edge when it comes to selling our product to Asian markets.

I recently visited Heppell’s Potato with Minister @lanapopham.bsky.social, seeing firsthand how B.C. farmers are leading the way in sustainability and food security. From seed to soil, growing right here in B.C. matters. Don’t miss Ugly Potato Day coming up on August 9th from 9-4pm in Cloverdale!

We’re doubling down on clean power, expanding our grid, and working in partnership with First Nations – all while securing the clean electricity industries need to grow and creating thousands of good family-supporting jobs.

B.C. isn’t waiting on the U.S. to implode—we’re powering up. BC Hydro’s 2025 call for power will bring 5,000 GWh of clean energy, First Nations ownership, and thousands of jobs. we’re building a grid that works for people. Climate action, energy security, and equity—all in one. #bcpoli #cleanenergy

Today, Premier Eby and I joined with BC Hydro to announce the 2025 Call for Power is now open. ⚡️ We are looking to acquire 5,000 gigawatt-hours from new, large, clean-energy projects - enough to power 500,000 homes. 🏡 👉 news.gov.bc.ca/32624

Great visit to Woodfibre LNG today. What will be the world’s lowest emission LNG - thanks in large part to the efforts of the Squamish Nation.

Well done, two amazing leaders! 👏 NDP for the win 🧡 #CdnPoli #BcPoli #BCgov #NDP #BCndp #strongertogether

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.

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]

Our province has everything we need to drive Canada’s economy. Looking forward to working with Canada’s Premiers and Prime Minister Carney over the next few days.

Today, we signed a groundbreaking agreement with First Nation and Hereditary Chief partners to develop the North Coast Transmission Line and deliver clean power to the North. Together, we created a new partnership model - one that will see First Nations as project co-owners.

Great time again at Collimgwood Days this year.Wonderful to see @donvdavies.bsky.social @lisadominato.bsky.social @MelanieCheng @rjaquino.bsky.social. A really great spirit by performers+vendors alike. Gratitude to @collingwoodnh.bsky.social, Collingwood BIA+the Collingwood CPC for making it happen.

It’s an honor to be appointed BC Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs. Housing combined with Infrastructure. We have made some progress on getting more affordable housing online but we have much more work to do🙏🏾

8 years ago yesterday, John Horgan was sworn in as B.C.’s 36th Premier. Thinking of Ellie, Nate, and Evan - and of everything John gave to this province. 🧡

I had a very productive & inspiring meeting with the Immigrant Employment Council of BC. We discussed the International Credential Recognition Act & explored strategies to increase employer awareness. IECBC is doing outstanding work connecting newcomers with employers to strengthen BC’s workforce.

We're welcoming some new faces to BC's executive council today! Please join us in congratulating Nina Krieger and Jessie Sunner, and thanking George Chow and Garry Begg for their hard work and exceptional service to British Columbians.

Another week of committee work down. Started with Finance and Government Services and ended with Reviewing the Provisions of the Human Rights Code. #humanrights #bcpoli @rohiniarora.bsky.social @danalajeunessemla.bsky.social

Today, I was sworn in as B.C.’s Minister of Post-Secondary Education & Future Skills. It’s the privilege of a lifetime to take on this responsibility. I look forward to working with students, educators, institutions, and communities across B.C. to build a stronger future together. 🧡

It was a huge honour to be sworn in as BC’s new Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs today.

Today Premier @eby-david.bsky.social has appointed me as Minister of Jobs and Economic Growth. A lot has changed since the election . Our closest ally is attacking our economy and threatening our sovereignty. Unfortunately Working people on both sides of the border are paying the price.

Today, Site C reached one of its last major milestones with the successful commission of the fifth generating unit. When the final unit powers up this fall, Site C will deliver clean electricity for 500,000 homes and boost BC Hydro’s supply by 8%. 🏡 www.myprincegeorgenow.com/233218/news/...

If prioritized homes for people like we prioritize homes for cars we would be much further along in dealing with this housing crisis.

Big milestone at Site C as the fifth generating unit came online earlier today. ⚡️ To every worker who braved the weather, solved the problems, and showed up to get the job done - thank you.

Every British Columbian who needs a heat pump should be able to access one: ✅ Reduced energy use ✅ Lower energy bills ✅ Improved comfort Today’s announcement means more people - including renters - will now benefit from a heat pump this summer. 👉 news.gov.bc.ca/32578

We’re helping people stay in affordable homes in the community they love. With 45 rental homes protected in Richmond, people can continue to live near their families, their jobs and the activities they enjoy. news.gov.bc.ca/32569 @RentalProFund

It’s now faster and cheaper for new homes and businesses to connect to BC Hydro’s grid. ⚡ Under our updated policy, a 13-unit townhouse project could save $16,000. This action will help B.C. continue to see new housing supply. 🏡 www.timescolonist.com/real-estate/...

The US faces a housing shortage. Instead of supporting faster construction, Trump’s tariffs drive up building costs. Slowing new starts and hurting the housing economy. Don’t take my word: ask the National Homebuilders Assoc., who show he’s adding +$10k cost per house. #bcpoli #bcgov

As rents and new home prices come down across B.C. we are working on reducing costs so we can continue to see new housing supply. Last week we announced deferral of Development Cost Charges for new homes. This week B.C. Hydro stepping up to lower costs and expedite new connections.🙌🏾

We've lowered the cost and sped up the timeline for new homes and businesses connecting to BC Hydro. 🔌 A simple connection to a new single-family home has dropped by more than 90% - from over $800 to now be as low as $64. 🏡 👉 news.gov.bc.ca/32550 @ravikahlon.bsky.social @udibc.bsky.social

A really fun night at Greek Summerfest on Boundary (at 29th). Souvlaki dinner, dancing and spending time with the volunteers, the crowd and the wonderful Father Tim Prattas. Live a day the Greek way! The festival is on again tomorrow and Thursday to Sunday next week. Give it a try!

As the U.S. moves inward, we're moving B.C. forward - to stay smart and competitive with: ✅ Clean Power ✅ Good Jobs ✅ A Growing Economy Let’s seize the moment and put all our advantages to work for the benefit of everyone in B.C.

This is our moment ⚡️
