The new $20 bill was just released with King Charles on the front and the Vimy Ridge memorial on the back.
The Bill now is now designed vertically and is the first time Queen Elizabeth hasn't been on the bill since 1954 #cdnpoli
@PeteHegseth Cadets do great work, and are not members of the military. 158 members of the Canadian military gave their lives in Afghanistan after your country was attacked.
Canada and the US have a great history of fighting together for freedom and justice. It's history worth remembering.
The four ferries BC Ferries are building in China won’t be the last ferries we need. We need a plan to build the next ferries we need here with Canadian parts by Canadian workers. #buildthemhere#bcpoli#bclab
“The Bank of Canada will officially unveil the design of the new vertical $20 bank note on September 3, 2026. The new polymer note will feature a portrait of His Majesty King Charles III on the front and the Canadian National Vimy Memorial on the back. The bill is scheduled to enter general circulation in early 2027.” @bankofcanada
British Columbia lost a powerful and respected leader when Joan Amshen Phillip died earlier today. Our caucus and staff are grieving alongside her family and so many others who knew and loved her.
I’ve made the decision today that I can no longer serve as a member of the BC Conservative Caucus under the leadership of Kerry-Lynne Findlay and I will sit as an Independent Member of the Legislative Assembly.
On July 29, it was reported in the media that during the BC Conservative leadership campaign, Ms. Findlay was alleged to have made serious and unfounded accusations about me, including remarks that called my allegiance to Canada into question. These remarks were distasteful, hurtful and made me question my place in the BC Conservatives under her leadership. At the time though, I was travelling with family and I attempted to put the matter behind me. I had a brief conversation thereafter with the leader who did not apologize and wanted to focus on what’s ahead of us. I decided to try to move on.
When I recently returned home, I understood the full extent and reach of Ms. Findlay’s comments. I had many friends and individuals from the community reach out to me to say they do not believe these false allegations and were shocked no apology was issued. I realized that these allegations had caused real damage to my reputation and had created serious concern within the community.
Following an exchange with Ms. Findlay and her Chief of Staff earlier this week, I was told an apology and clarification would be issued. To date, no statement has been issued.
I cannot continue to sit in a caucus led by someone who has questioned my loyalty without evidence and, when given the opportunity to correct the record, has failed to do so.
I make my decision with a heavy heart, proud of what we have achieved since I joined the BC Conservatives. Unfortunately, I believe all that progress is now at risk. I firmly believe we need an alternative to the NDP that is trying to grow and not one trying to divide. That is not the direction of the BC Conservatives under Kerry-Lynne Findlay.
I want to thank my BC Conservative colleagues who have been steadfast with me. I consider you my friends and I wish you well.
As a four-term MLA, I know politics can be cut throat and a blood sport. I’ve never liked that about it. I’ve never subscribed to it. At its core, politics is about people. Those we stand up for in our communities, the teammates who inspire us, and the voices that drive change. I will continue to serve the people of Richmond-Bridgeport with those values at my core. #Richmondbc

U.S. trade actions are unjustified and self defeating. They will hurt both nations by increasing prices in America.
But Canada is strong, the Canadian economy is strong, and Canadians have each others' backs. 🍁

@jizhouwang2026 The truth is the there was overwhelming support to renew the lease. Council received 58 letters of support and only 6 in opposition. Most who spoke in opposition said they want better oversight which we asked for.
