This week we witnessed a truly horrific school shooting in Tumbler Ridge. And at a time when British Columbians are uniting in support of the community, some people have been exploiting this tragedy to push a political agenda against trans kids.
That's shameful and wrong. 🧵
Turning reconciliation into a wedge issue might generate headlines, but it would come at the expense of jobs and prosperity for British Columbians.
We all want to build the B.C. of our dreams. To get there, the path forward is together — or not at all.

To my friends and neighbours affected by the devastating apartment fire in Steveston last night, my heart is with you.
The province is providing emergency supports. Thank you to the courageous first responders who responded swiftly. @IAFF1286@Richmond_BC@RedCrossCanada🙏
@SteveKooner The first thing the BCNDP did was say they would be appealing the decision.
B.C. Conservatives sent a fundraising email.
How is that serving your constituents?
@Gillanders_L@WestcoastWood Cows protect the baby calves. Once, when coyotes attacked the calves the cows formed a circle around the calves. When a coyote came close a cow ran out with head down and tossed it in the air. Deer would probably do the same. Roosters protect chickens from hawks but not coyotes.
God this is gruesome.
As will be this short thread.
It's true, not all dead children were murdered, which seems to be Brodie's blind focus. Many were like little Jim Baker, who was left to die of spinal meningitis far from home, with insufficient care.
The @AbbyCanucks are Calder Cup Champions!
Congratulations to the players who battled through a gruelling playoff schedule and of course to the loyal fans.

Canada’s trade response will strategically pressure Donald Trump where we know it’ll have an impact.
John Rustad thinks that strategy is unfair to US Republicans.
We don’t represent Americans. We work for British Columbians, and we’ll keep putting British Columbians first.
@ryanlpainter You can’t negotiate with bad faith actors by rolling over and bowing to threats. Seeking resolution and common ground are worthwhile - like the act of sending wildfire fighters. But responding to an active threat with platitudes is silly when you know the goalposts aren’t fixed.

That’s right—Richmond Fire-Rescue is officially on X (formerly known as Twitter, for those who still refuse to call it X). After years of fighting fires and saving cats in trees, we’ve decided to tackle our hottest challenge yet: another social media channel.
Whether it’s a community event or reminders not to fry a turkey next to your jerry cans, we’re here to inform, connect, and maybe make you smile.
Follow us before we set the Internet ablaze (figuratively, of course).
The new 5-lane Steveston Interchange will improve how people get around in Richmond, in advance of the new tunnel being completed. Westbound traffic moves onto the new crossing overnight Wednesday. Removal of the old crossing will follow shortly. @TranBC https://t.co/dTMuBXxuXL
Board Certified Surgeon in Austin, Texas is whistleblower on US Health Insurance Companies
She was just PULLED OUT OF SURGERY
while her patient was asleep and forced to speak with UnitedHealthcare who tries to cancel patients inpatient stay after surgery who has CANCER
“It's 2025 and insurance just keeps getting worse”
“I've never had this happen before. But during the second deep, I had a phone call into the operating room saying that UnitedHealthcare wanted me to call them about one of the patients who was having surgery”
“So I scrubbed outta my case and I called UnitedHealthcare and the gentleman said he needed some information about her, wanna know her diagnosis and whether whether her inpatient stay should be justified. — I was like, do you understand that she's asleep right now and she has breast cancer?”
“It's out of control. It insurance is out of control. I have no other words.”
You were sworn in as a new MLA in November… Are you saying you haven’t started working yet? MLA duties extend beyond when the House is sitting.
