As Rustad doubles down on his election complaint nonsense, an affidavit filed in court shows that the care home worker he accused of forcing people to vote NDP *actually voted for Honveer Randhawa* 🧵 #bcpoli
Chip’s new sign doesn’t explain who’s paying more (Chip) and who’s getting money (not Chip).
John Rustad would cut taxes for the top 2%, just like before.
I’ll cut yours instead - with $1,000 for 90% of families.
And I will never apologize for asking billionaires to chip in.
During the pandemic, our communities came together to keep others safe and protect our most vulnerable including those living in assisted living and long term care many of whom live right here in Fraserview.
We can't let John Rustad anywhere near our healthcare system. #bcpoli
HEY @JohnRustad4BC, HEY!
It’s me, the guy you spoke to on a downtown Vancouver street — who you told you WOULDN’T cut lifesaving supervised consumption services!!
This quote you gave to CBC last night shows you really don’t understand addiction. You told the reporter that after my first overdose the government “should have actually stepped in and put him into mandatory treatment and recovery so he didn't overdose five more times.”
🤦🏻♂️
I didn’t need forced treatment John. I WENT INTO TREATMENT VOLUNTARILY DOZENS OF TIMES‼️
Man, the number of people with a platform and/or actual decision-making power who think a person will go into treatment one single time and magically BE CURED OF THEIR ADDICTION … is astounding 🤯
Addiction is a chronic relapsing disease. Very few people will be cured after one stint in treatment, and the rate of success is much, much lower when it’s forced. When people relapse, as I did many times, they’re more likely to overdose because today’s illicit drug supply is so potent and unpredictable, and because their tolerance to those drugs has been lowered while they were abstinent.
Your ideas are not based on evidence, and they don’t even make sense. YOUR CAMPAIGN PROMISES ARE GOING TO CAUSE IRREPARABLE HARM. 💔

While I’m spending time with my family, welcoming our 3rd child, our amazing BC NDP candidates will be out connecting with people about what matters most.
@SunitaDhirBC, @BaltejRcmp, @MichaelMosesWL & @randene_neill know what’s at stake in this election.
(1/2)
Another BC Conservative candidate showing they stand with those who want LGBTQ people to be pushed back into the closet. John Rustad-why are you supporting this? #bcpoli
A powerful earthquake struck near Taiwan bringing down buildings and triggering tsunami warnings in Japan & the Philippines.
I’m advised there is no threat to BC, but I know many with family in Taiwan are concerned for the safety of their loved ones.

NEW - Environment Minister George Heyman, who is Jewish and the child of Holocaust refugees, said “it’s simply not my experience” that there is antisemitism within the NDP caucus as alleged by Selina Robinson. He took issue w BC United saying the NDP lost its only Jewish voice.
I’m not really sure what to say, Renee
BC New Democratic Party = BCNDP
BC United Party = BCUP
I have dedicated a lot of my life to supporting survivors & addressing GBV - this attack on me is NONSENSE.
If you want to talk about the REAL issues on gender equity, count me in.
I recently learned that I am joining a long list of individuals sanctioned by Putin & his Regime. It does not impact my life or ability to continue serving my constituents. I firmly stand with peace-loving BCians against Putin’s unprovoked invasion of the Ukraine & her citizens.
This past weekend, I had the honour of joining @SUCCESSCanada as they celebrated 50 years. Thank you to board members, staff, and countless volunteers for providing services to new Canadians for the past five decades. Here’s to many more years of SUCCESS in British Columbia!
I am so excited to see this investment of over $20 million to help make Richmond an even better place to live!
From rec facilities, to parks, to other vital infrastructure, the Growing Communities Fund will help improve the lives of residents across BC now and into the future.
I am disappointed that the BC Liberals voted against upgrading our aging 911 system. What happened to all the bravado on the need to improve emergency responses? Opposing just for the sake of opposing?

I'm shocked and disappointed that the BC Liberals voted against our $150-million investment to upgrade BC's aging 911 system. Now is the time to invest in services to keep people safe - not to underfund and cut them like the BC Liberals did for 16 years. #bcpoli
As people struggle with global inflation, Kevin Falcon says we shouldn't use government's surplus to help them. He's against:
❌$410 affordability credits
❌$500 million renter protection fund
❌$1 billion growing communities fund
He's just not looking out for people. #bcpoli
Kevin Falcon recently said it’s ok for his MLAs to deny climate science - as long as they don’t say it publicly.
At least one of his MLAs - Ellis Ross- has questioned climate science. Will @ellisbross publicly affirm his support for the scientific consensus on climate? #bcpoli
I’m glad Teresa Wat has reversed & reaffirmed BC Liberals’ support for safe injection sites & decrim. I hope she says the same in mandarin media.
These are necessary tools in combating this crisis, that’s why all parties support them.
