Imagine Macron would have said 'We can't rush it' when Notre Dame burned. Yet, these are the words of BC's #forest minister speaking about the last old-growth. "Huge, holy, and eternal-feeling, like a branched and needled Notre Dame" @JohnVaillant@bcpoli https://t.co/iZVUBCg6nI
meanwhile, @bcndp continues to annihilate the last remnants of our province's old-growth forest, exactly as they promised not to do #bcpoli#SaveFairyCreek
@jjhorgan and the @BCNDP are getting failing grades on old-growth. 6 months since releasing their old growth report, the vast majority of BC’s #ancientforests are still at risk. Read our joint report card made with @SierraClubBC & @wildernews below 👇
@stevenscollon @paulmanly@CanadianGreens Check with your local MP. Paul Manly's office has 11" x 14" posters of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms available for free for constituents. They are smaller than the one in the photo, but still. Your local MP's office probably has them too (or can get one for you).
With 23 days left in this campaign, I have decided to tweet one excellent thing every day that you might not have heard about #GPC platform. First up- universal child care focused on early childhood education. #childcare
Elizabeth May responding to the Liberal’s climate plan: “Is it better than Andrew Scheer’s? You bet. But it’s still nowhere near what’s necessary.” #cdnpoli#elxn43

Universal child care is key to gender equality.

Wishbone, Sam and I got some exercise today at the annual #Nanaimo#TerryFoxRun. This year marked 39 years since Terry launched his #MarathonOfHope to raise funds for #CancerResearch. "Even if I don't finish, we need others to continue. It's got to keep going." Terry Fox
It was an honour to take part in the Vancouver Island Crisis Societies suicide prevention day event 'Soles Remembering Souls'. Thank you to the compassionate people and organizations in our community who care for those in distress. #Nanaimo#SuicidePreventionDay
Curious to know more about me, my background, my family and what motivated me to enter politics? Have a listen to this new episode of the Nanaimo Chronicles Podcast that @todmaffin recorded with me a few short weeks ago. https://t.co/apWT4RKpcV #Nanaimo#cdnpoli@CanadianGreens
We need to talk about the bigger picture on the SNC-Lavalin scandal.
At the Ethics Committee Emergency Meeting on the SNC-Lavalin Report, Elizabeth May urges our representatives to get the interests of foreign corporations out of our civil service.
Thank you. Smear campaigns distorting my views are par for the course. The assault on women's rights is chilling. Attacking the country's only woman leader is an odd distraction.
I had a busy and productive first week in Ottawa. My orientation, staffing & #ClimateChange topped the agenda & Westwood Ridge and the DND lands were a hot topic. I'll be sworn in on May 27th and will be able to enter the HoC as an MP.
