No one should have to choose between paying for prescription drugs, and putting food on the table. Today, we take another huge step forward in strengthening BC's universal public healthcare system, with the signing of a new pharmacare agreement with the Government of Canada.
#BCStorm update: High winds have caused extensive damage to our system and outages to over 180,000 customers in the Lower Mainland, Sunshine Coast and on Vancouver Island. Crews will continue to work throughout the night to make repairs and restore power. High winds and access challenges may have work taking longer than anticipated in some areas. The latest restoration updates are at https://t.co/c3Fe7W43SE. If you see a downed power line, remember to stay at least 10 metres back and call 911.
134,000 BC Hydro customers are currently without power on Vancouver Island. Road closures on Highway 28, Highway 4, and Highway 14 at Jordan River. @AndyNeal_Vic will have the latest on the situation at 10pm on @CHEK_News.

Let’s put our country first.
Just got back from voting to see yet another news story about a BC Conservative politician, saying something awful. This time, denying the horrors of residential schools. Sure glad I voted.
2 BC Cons candidates on Van Isle told supporters they want US-style 2-tier health care in BC - Tim Thielmann & Anna Kindy.
Rustad plans to cut billions out of healthcare -> fewer doctors and nurses. It’s clear where he’s headed - towards private healthcare + longer waits for you
NEW - With the candidate deadline at 1pm, NDP leader David Eby has sent a letter to John Rustad encouraging him to drop candidates he describes as peddling ‘dangerous conspiracy theories’. Pretty sure Rustad won’t be taking any advice from Eby. #bcpoli
