So sorry to hear of the early passing of John Horgan …he was a dedicated British Columbian who wanted to improve life for all of us. He gave many years of his life in public service, right to the end. He will be missed. #bcpoli
Personal news: after working for @BCUnitedCaucus for 6 1/2 years, I’m leaving to pursue another opportunity. In opposition we often don’t get to speak positively about why we’re here so I thought I’d take some time to write a retrospective 🧵. 1/9 #bcpoli
@blandcouverite@BCUnitedCaucus David, you are an exceptionally good person - smart, committed, reliable, and endlessly good humoured, even when the going gets tough. It was a delight working with you, and very best wishes in your new endeavour!
For British Columbian families dealing with fertility issues, IVF can make all the difference. But it can be expensive and out of reach for many. The BC Liberals are committed to providing funding to help make IVF accessible to everyone. #bcpoli
BC Liberal Leader @KevinFalcon arrives at the @BCLegislature with his family ahead of being sworn in as the MLA for Vancouver-Quilchena and Leader of the Official Opposition. #BCpoli
I want to thank the people of Vancouver-Quilchena for placing their trust in me today. We're taking the first step towards restoring leadership and competence back to the province of British Columbia. #BCpoli
Under the NDP BC's doctor shortage is spiraling out of control. 1 in 5 British Columbians can't find a family doctor and clinic wait times are out of control. It's time to tackle the big issues like health care with leadership that gets results - not excuses. #bcpoli
Right. The 5 years the NDP has been in power utterly failing on this file is the fault of a guy who doesn’t even have a seat in the legislature yet. 🙄
#bcpoli
Today, @jjhorgan lied about BC's poor pediatric vaccination rate, was called out on the lie, tried to claim that it didn't matter because BC isn't seeing "a lot of outbreaks" in K-12 (or that if it is, they're "mild"), and then told kids to wear a mask if they're uncomfortable.
@CBCVancouver currently has its dream team of radio hosts running all day @CBCGloria on the morning show, @michelle_eliot on the lunch hour, and @CBCMargaretG on the afternoon show - objective, professional and insightful! @cbcnewsbc please make this your permanent team! #bcpoli
I am excited to begin this byelection campaign. I will work hard every day to earn the support of Vancouver-Quilchena residents so that I can hold the @bcndp to account and bring needed leadership and competence back to the province of British Columbia.
The secret ballot is a fundamental right that workers in B.C. have enjoyed for 30 of the past 38 years. To see the NDP table a bill that strips that right from workers when it comes to union certification is unacceptable. Choosing NDP donors over workers' rights is unforgivable.
I'm calling on the NDP to immediately pull Russian spirits from @bcliquorstores and cease all imports of such products by the BCLDB.
We should do all we can to support the people of Ukraine and not benefit Putin’s regime while this unprovoked aggression continues. #BCpoli
Happy #IWD to every bossy, loud, quiet, aggressive, shy, exhausted, entrepreneurial, entry-level, serious, absent-minded & everything-in-between woman out there. This day is for all of us. Hire us, pay us, acknowledge us & make room when we pull our chairs up to the table.
New Democrats say unfair to ask them for relief from gas prices when Putin's fault. My guess people paying $2 plus per litre don't care about blame. They can't get at Putin so pressuring Horgan, who has repeatedly promised action on high gasoline prices.
So it’s been 250 days since @Lytton burned to the ground @jjhorgan You promised to have their back. Residents still have no access, no debris removal, no clear building process. It is appalling! Shame on you! #bcpoli@BradleyVis
Ukraine needs our province to step up and actively demonstrate to Mr. Putin that we will help reduce dependency on Russian energy and replace it with alternatives including BC’s own ethical, clean LNG. It’s time for the government of BC to act!!!
