I was very sad to hear of the passing of an early mentor and friend, the legendary American impresario Speight Jenkins, who served as General Director of @SeattleOpera for an astounding 32 years.

Speight hired me to sing in Wagner’s Götterdämmerung when I was just 20 years old.

Réduire les coûts. Bâtir plus de logements.

En diminuant les coûts de construction et en investissant dans les infrastructures, on aide les communautés à bâtir plus de logements et on facilite l’accès des Canadiens à un chez-soi. Et ce n’est qu’un début.

I love @CommercialDLive. @sularestaurant is so good! #Vancouver #foodie

After 10 years of NDP, we don't need somebody to tinker around the edges to turn this province around.

KLF did that at the federal level and she'll do that when she becomes Premier of BC,
all while unifying British Columbians.

Ultimately we all want the same thing in BC.
We want a safe, prosperous province where you can afford a home (knowing that property rights matters) and have proper access to healthcare.

[Kyle Riley 🇨🇦 @Smileyyeg]

Calling a sweet seeming lady an extremist monster is not going to stick.

[Blaine Badiuk @BlaineBadiuk]

You can dislike KLF all you want, you can disagree with her policies, I supported a competing candidate. But attacking her as MAGA is a joke.

British Columbians deserve better discourse than this. 🥴

[Business Council of B.C. @BizCouncilBC]

Congratulations to @KerryLynneFindl on becoming the new leader of @Conservative_BC. We look forward to working with her and her team on the issues that matter to B.C.’s economy.

We’d also like to acknowledge the other candidates who put their names forward. Running for public office is no small thing, and we thank them for their contribution to the democratic process.

[Kerry-Lynne Findlay @KerryLynneFindl]

David Eby can call me whatever he likes. His desperate labels only highlight the failure of his NDP government: record debt, out-of-control crime, collapsing health care, and eroded property rights.

I am proud to be a principled conservative who stands for freedom, family, safer communities, lower taxes, and putting British Columbians first. That is not extremism. That is common sense.

My focus remains on solutions for our province. Together, we will defeat the NDP’s failures and restore hope and prosperity to British Columbia.

[Dustin Lee Hiles @DustinHiles]

As someone raised by a strong single parent woman, I appreciate the courage @KerryLynneFindl displays over and over again. In the face of such daunting obstacles, she always comes out on top. It's so inspiring to have such a champion fighter leading the @BCConservCaucus #bcpoli

[Reann Gasper @ReannGasper]

Congratulations to our newly elected leader of the Conservative Party of BC @KerryLynneFindl.

At a time when so many British Columbians are asking for change, strong leadership matters. I’m looking forward to continuing the work of fighting for families, communities, and a brighter future for our province alongside strong partners who share that goal.

Together we can!!!

[Dustin Lee Hiles @DustinHiles]

The BC NDP puts China's economy first while BC'ers struggle to work, pay the bills, put gass in their cars, not to mention ever owning a home in a safe neighborhood...💔

@KerryLynneFindl is going to deliver! 😇🥰

As hard as you try and as much as @VoteCentreBC wants, we're not going back to this. 🫣 #bcpoli

[CentreBC @VoteCentreBC]

Today was a day of back-to-back media interviews for CentreBC interim leader, Karin Kirkpatrick!

Check this one out from Daybreak South with @ChrisWalkerCBC

"The election of Kerry-Lynne Findlay, together with the activism and unpopularity of David Eby, leaves a hole in BC's political middle. Karin Kirkpatrick is the interim leader of Centre BC, a political party looking to fill that gap."

@KirkpatrickWVC

[Dustin Lee Hiles @DustinHiles]

@VoteCentreBC is a vassal of the NDP run by boomers, relics and allies of Trudeau/Clark regime that crippled the economy, took parental rights away, blocked resources development, handed out free drugs like candy, and made it impossible for ppl to own homes. Gross! 🤮 #bcpoli

[CentreBC @VoteCentreBC]

Another insightful interview with CentreBC's interim leader, Karin Kirkpatrick.

Seems like the gaping chasm that was created by the result of the BC Conservative leadership race is garnering as much interest as, well, the result itself.

CentreBC was created to fill this void for voters.

[Dimitris Soudas 🇨🇦⚜️🇬🇷☦️ 13.12.1943 @DimitrisSoudas]

This is so well handled! Doesn’t get irritated with the reporter’s question. Smiles and calls out her opponent for what he is.

Political judo 101.

[Steve Kooner MLA @SteveKooner]

David, I know you have been losing caucus confidence, and you have had the worst possible record as Premier. But there is no need to distract from this by uttering pathetic insults.

British Columbians are already aware that you have created the worst financial situation in BC’s history, with the highest provincial debt and deficit in BC's history.

How could you lose a $6 billion surplus and turn it into a $13 billion deficit in just 3.5 years?

And how is it that you have nothing to show for all this excessive spending of taxpayer money?

We have collapsing social services and hospital departments shutting down on your watch.

You have led our province into Co-Governance with Unelected Groups, jeopardizing property rights across British Columbia.

We can’t afford your sorry record anymore.

Rather than uttering insults, you should be taking notes. Kerry-Lynne Findlay is the strong, experienced leader who puts British Columbians first. She gets results without resorting to insults or desperate attempts to link Trump to her political adversaries.

[Dustin Lee Hiles @DustinHiles]

Honoured to celebrate La Festa della Repubblica w/ @LisaDominato @KenSimCity @MelissaDeGenova @angelahaer in #Vancouver today! Thank you @Aless_Cattaneo @ItalyinCanada for the kind invitation. #VivaItalia

@MelissaDeGenova does so much for this city #Vancouver. She is such a wonderful and inspiring community leader, I'm so proud to know her 👏 🥰

Brava Mia Bella diva!

[Peter Meiszner @PeterMeiszner]

It’s Italian Heritage Month in Vancouver! It was an honour to proclaim the occasion this morning in council chambers with members of the community, ahead of Italian Days on the Drive later this month.

[Dustin Lee Hiles @DustinHiles]

He is absolutely 💯 pathetic. #bcpoli

[BCBarracuda @BCCuda]

Thank God change is on the horizon.
Listen to @Dave_Eby desperately clinging to the tired MAGA narrative. It's old, predictable, and no longer lands the way he thinks it does.
Even Mark Carney talks about strengthening North America and rebuilding economic competitiveness. The constant MAGA scare tactic has become a substitute for actual ideas.
Time to find something original, David. Repeating the same talking points over and over isn't leadership—it's political laziness. @KerryLynneFindl

[Dustin Lee Hiles @DustinHiles]

@ReannGasper is literally salt of the earth, a dedicated and passionate MLA who's supporting KLF's vision to build back BC.

My home town of #MissionBC couldn't be in better hands 🙌 👏 🥰 #bcpoli

[Dustin Lee Hiles @DustinHiles]

Literally, Eby doesn't have a clue what he's talking about! How can anything get anymore expensive than it already is!? 🤔🤯

He is a divisive, fear mongering, LIAR! #bcpoli

[Sitka Media @sitkamedia]

The BCNDP have labelled Findlay a Trump-adjacent extremist.

Trump won in 2016 largely because the Dems made him into the anti-establishment candidate.

Sitka Media’s @JarrydJaeger asked Premier Eby whether his line of attack risks making KLF more popular.

Here’s his response 👇
