We’re glad to see elected officials in BC using this opportunity to highlight available services for victims/survivors of intimate partner violence as well as sharing some key messages on gender-based violence.

[Kelly Greene @KellyRichmondBC]

Let’s be clear: the BC gov decided to not argue extinguishment in this case in 2015 - when John Rustad was Aboriginal Relations Minister and Teresa Wat was in cabinet.

BC made the strongest possible case to protect private property. And we will continue to do so in our appeal.

🇨🇦: Canada Post is losing money.

The left thinks that’s okay. The right thinks it now needs to be sold off.

The elites & their politicians? They don’t want you to realize that Canada Post’s losses were manufactured so they could loot a public asset.

Russia illegally and unjustifiably invaded Ukraine.

For three years now, Ukrainians have fought with courage and resilience. Their fight for democracy, freedom, and sovereignty is a fight that matters to us all.

Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians in achieving a just and lasting peace.

As a former professional hockey player @NHL and multiple representative at the Olympic Games @iocmedia and as a citizen of the Czech Republic, which is part of the EU, I would like to say this on the eve of the 3rd anniversary of the start of the Russian imperialist war against the free democratic country of Ukraine. I would like to thank President Zelensky and, above all, all the Ukrainian people who defend (and daily put their lives on the line and lose their lives) both their country and the whole of Europe from the Russian imperialist enemy led by the greatest criminal of our time, Putin. Thanks to you, my country and my fellow citizens can now live in peace on our territory. You deserve the greatest recognition and maximum support from us, which cannot be expressed by money alone. Dominik Hasek (Please share with all fans, friends and everyone who is not indifferent to democracy and who cares about the future of future generations)

The incoming US tariffs are a betrayal of the bond between our countries and an attack on BC and Canadian families. We are standing up for BC's workers and businesses: supporting the billions in national retaliatory tariffs from Ottawa and launching immediate BC counter-measures.

CAL FIRE has asked for a senior management team from BC Wildfire Service – They will be departing imminently.

We're also working to send ground crews as part of a national response.

California has been there for us, we will be there for them. That’s what good neighbours do.

It seems a lot of American can't conceive why Canadians are not so eager to join the union.

I'll give you a few reasons:

- We love our country, just you like you love yours. Things can always be better, but this will always be our home and native land.
- The climate sucks, but we're used to it, and it can be quite beautiful at times. We have warm homes with warm people, winter sports, and lots of sunshine.
- None of my kids have had to do active shooter drills, unlike their cousins across the border. Our cities are the safest big cities in North America.
- There is no role for religion in politics. No one cares.
- We never have to worry about health insurance. Granted the system can be improved, but there are no co-pays, no monthly contributions, few worries.
- There's no corporate donations in politics, it was banned 20 years ago. Billionaires can't own the political system.
- The media (what's left of it) is not allowed to broadcast false or misleading news.
- There's no corrupt geriatric supreme court that can ruin your life. Here judges have mandatory retirement, and few Canadians can name even one of them.
- Abortion has been permitted for 35 years and is a non-issue politically
- There's no senate or electoral college that can keep unpopular parties in power.
- Higher education is good, cheap and accessible. Few are crushed by student debt like in America.

There's a million small things too, but overall, this will never stop being the most beautiful place in the world to me:
