BC can play a significant role in providing more of the critical minerals the 🇺🇸and 🇨🇦 need to decarbonize and meet our defence and national security objectives.

Our province has or produces 16 of the 50 minerals the US has identified as being critical to the nation’s economic and national security. In 2022, 7% of BC’s exports to the US were critical minerals and metals including aluminum, germanium, gallium, indium, lead and zinc.

Read how @TeckResources smelter in Trail plays an indispensable role in North America’s critical mineral supply chain and may help Ottawa’s efforts to counter US President Elect @realDonaldTrump’s intention to impose tariffs on Canadian imports.

Heartbreaking news. My thoughts are with his family, friends and community. I always appreciated Dan’s kind comments in the hallway of the legislature, his commitment to his constituents and his advocacy for so many. Very sad day.

[BC NDP @bcndp]

It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the loss of Dan Coulter, a devoted advocate for the people of British Columbia, a passionate voice for inclusivity and justice, and a cherished member of the BC NDP family.

Well said Mike. I had the same experience with Dan. I am wishing him a full recovery.

I got to know Dan very well working across from him and he was a lot of fun behind the scenes and we became friends. I hope he makes a full recovery. You got this Dan!!!
