So excited for this little addition to our team! Congratulations @bowinnma.bsky.social!!!

🚨BIG housing news for British Columbians🚨 Today, BC and the federal government announced that we’re investing more than $5 billion in our province’s infrastructure. We’re going to use that $ to build more housing that people can actually afford.

Great to see Sen̓áḵw getting some love here, featuring @khelsilem.bsky.social along with lots of other great local housing voices (e.g. @1alexhemingway.bsky.social @tomdavidoff.bsky.social & @christineboyle.bsky.social) thrown into the mix. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/o...

I lost my dad last week. Below is a link to the obituary my sister @naomiaklein.bsky.social and I wrote this weekend (helps to have a sister who’s a pretty good writer 😉), along with a bunch of photos. A few more reflections. 🧵... everloved.com/life-of/mich...

B.C.'s economy remains resilient in the face of global instability. In May: ↑ 25,200 jobs vs. last month - all full-time ↑ 14,800 private sector jobs ↑ 7,200 youth jobs (2nd largest gain in 🇨🇦) - Unemployment: 6.8% unchanged Since 2017, private sector emp. is up by 149K 1/2

Renters👇 this one’s for you.   Housing is way too expensive. It makes life hard when such a large part of your income goes towards your rent. This has to change.   Here’s the good news: asking rents in B.C. are finally going down — and it’s not by accident. A #homesforpeople 🧵

From 2007-2016 the average number of new purpose built rental units across BC was ~2,500 per year. In 2025 it was 26,000! 🎉 Asking rents are going down ⬇️ Vacancy rates are going up, creating more choice for renters ⬆️ We’re delivering #HomesForPeople, in communities they love. ❤️ #BCPoli

Across BC, renters are starting to see real relief:  • Asking rents are down 12.5% from 2023  • Vacancy rates are rising  • More options for renters, including ability to negotiate their rent • 26,000+ purpose-built rentals registered in 2025  Progress is underway, with more to do.

Even Conservative MLAs don't support Kerry-Lynne Findlay and her Trump-style politics. She attacked the family of Conservative MLA Peter Milobar just because they're Indigenous. She's the most extreme, divisive party leader in BC history. No wonder pro-Trump MLAs all back her.

Welcome to 375 Glen Dr, where we just opened 248 homes and shelter spaces for people in the DTES 🏢♥️ That’s 248 spaces added to 1,100 new and renovated spaces in the DTES opened since 2023, and almost 700 more opening by the end of this year! - A #homesforpeople thread 🧵

Did you know? The UEL is an unincorporated area, meaning that the Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs acts as the governing authority for the area…essentially the “Mayor” of the University Endowment Lands 😉 #ubc #vanpoli

🚨It’s Emergency Preparedness Week🚨 And this year’s theme is “in it together,” because preparing for emergencies is a team effort to keep everyone safe. Today, Minister of Emergency Management @kellyrichmondbc.bsky.social introduced us to emergency response teams from across BC 🙌

Seniors are moving into 76 new supportive homes with 24/7 supports in Vancouver’s Victory Square 🙌 The Tung Sam Lau building at 177 West Pender just opened! A #homesforpeople 🧵 /1

That is why I’m calling on Ottawa to introduce strong, enforceable safety standards so that the law keeps pace with technological advancements. We cannot wait – lives depend on it. Read my full statement here: news.gov.bc.ca/33676

Every parent knows the struggle of keeping your kid safe online. Unregulated social media platforms & AI tools are exposing young people to real harm. Self‑policing by tech companies has failed.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎🌱 Today (and every day) it's important to work together to protect the people and places we love. That's on my mind in every decision I make, large and small. @randeneneillmlabc.bsky.social #EarthDay #EarthDay2026 #BCPoli #VanBike #ShorterShowers #Parenting

Thanks to the Hospital Employees Union for meeting with us. We’re grateful for their continued advocacy in healthcare & the work they do. @christineboyle.bsky.social @harwindersandhu.bsky.social @nikisharma.bsky.social @rparmarbc.bsky.social @sheilamalcolmsonbc.bsky.social @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social

Really pleased to share some good news alongside Mayor Tom Dyas this morning: Kelowna will be the first community to benefit from our accelerated short-term rental opt-out timeline after vacancy rates stayed above 3% for two years 🎉

We’re building COMMUNITY (QMUNITY, that is) in this housing 🚨🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Was so excited to visit the 981 Davie St construction site! 154 units of new, affordable rentals are being built for people with middle to low incomes. #vanpoli #homesforpeople /1

This is really important! Very happy to see this!

Over 500 U.S health professionals have moved to BC since we kicked off our recruitment campaign last year. While the @conservativebc.bsky.social opposed these actions, we won't stop connecting British Columbians to a family physician or NP. (P.S Heather Maahs the answer is 315 nurses & 51 NP's)

Bill 18 brings babies in the boardroom 👶 Just kidding, we can’t mandate that (even though we would love to). But I am so proud to bring forward this legislation that will allow parental leave for up to 26 weeks for local elected officials. CC: @ubcm.bsky.social

We've The Feminist Campaign School & supporters) have spent 7 years advocating for these changes. Really pleased to see this step.

We've been laser-focused on increasing access to family medicine - and it's having an impact. We've attached 600,000 British Columbians to a family doctor or nurse practitioner since 2023. (1/6)

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ To our trans family, friends, and neighbours all across BC, you are seen, loved, and valued. You deserve to get to show up as your full self as we all do - that’s why it’s so important to me to recognize and celebrate this day with you. #TDOV

156 new below-market rental homes + a new adult day centre are now open at Kiwanis Village in West Van! 🏡 AND this housing is directly helping workers in West Van who were struggling to find a place to call home!

Congratulations to @avilewis.ca, the new leader of the Federal @ndp.ca! 🍊 And to all the candidates, who stepped up and brought people together. There’s important work ahead. That work takes all of us, across coasts, across differences, building a stronger Canada for everyone.

So wonderful to celebrate the @vsb39.bsky.social students who graduated from the Career Program this year! About half of these grads are working in residential construction and related fields 👷👷‍♀️🏡🔨 They’re building the homes and infrastructure that are the foundation of our communities!

It's been great to show @christineboyle.bsky.social around our #VernonLumby and connect with so many Housing providers and Municipal leaders! #bcpoli

Last Friday, I attended the West Coast LEAF 2026 Equality Breakfast with Minister @nikisharma.bsky.social & some of my @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social colleagues: @christineboyle.bsky.social, @mlajroutledge.bsky.social, @j-blatherwick-mla.bsky.social, @joanphillipndp.bsky.social & @susiechant.bsky.social.

BC and the @cityofvancouver.bsky.social have been working together on a commitment to better housing options as we work to replace Single Room Occupancy sites in the Granville Entertainment District. #vanpoli 🧵 /1

For people to be healthy, safe, and stable, they need housing. The BC Conservatives have NO plan to address homelessness - only opposition to the real solutions we’re putting forward to get to the root of the problem.

What a great Coldest Night of the Year! Hundreds showed up for the DTES & raised funds that will make a real impact in people’s lives. Grateful for this community & for those who walked alongside us ♥️ @seanorr.bsky.social @lucymaloney.bsky.social @jennykwan.bsky.social @christineboyle.bsky.social

Yesterday, Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social and I got to attend a celebration of Bob and Michael’s Place in the DTES with so many community members, organizations, and governments that all came together to make this community housing happen. 🧵 /1

I am always so proud to show up for #PinkShirtDay! In my community, in government, and as a Mom/auntie/trusted adult to many kiddos, I feel a deep sense of responsibility to support and help create spaces that are safe, caring, inclusive, and affirming for children. 🧵/1

We’re tackling homelessness in Kamloops 🏠💪 50 newly renovated homes with supports at the Crossroads Inn are now move-in ready!   With interior renovations now complete, Ask Wellness Society will provide high-quality housing with supports for people experiencing homelessness. @bchousing.bsky.social

It was so wonderful to join QMUNITY for their Queer and Allied Power Lunch ❤️🏳️‍🌈 So much good work for us to do together to support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community across BC. So proud to stand beside you. Queer, trans, and Two-Spirit friends, check out Qmunity’s amazing programs, services, and events ♥️

B.C. Budget 2026 reaffirms our commitment to children and families across British Columbia.💛📚 ✔️ $634M new funding in K–12 education funding ✔️ $330M lift to ChildCareBC ✔️ Investments for before and after school care ✔️ $167M for the Classroom Enhancement Fund 1/2 🧵 #bcpoli

Today, @gregorrobertson.bsky.social and I jointly announced that BC and the federal government have put forward $370 million to rapidly build 700+ supportive and transitional homes to seriously address homeslessness in BC.

We mark Family Day this year with heavy hearts. We ache for the families of Tumbler Ridge. We hold them in our prayers and stand with them in their pain and grief. (1/2)

This week we witnessed a truly horrific school shooting in Tumbler Ridge. And at a time when British Columbians are uniting in support of the community, some people have been exploiting this tragedy to push a political agenda against trans kids. That's shameful and wrong. 🧵
