Check out this great analysis and summary on today's budget announcement from @neweconomycan's @clarkjasone.

Predictable, long-term policy and smart investment tools give businesses the confidence they need to innovate, create jobs, and grow a cleaner, more resilient economy.

[New Economy Canada @neweconomycan]

With its 2025 Budget, Canada signals a clear commitment to growing stronger industries built to compete globally.

[Merran Smith @merransmith]

We need to talk about Canada's economic future. Being an energy superpower today includes clean tech, batteries, EVs, and the critical minerals to power them. The global economy is shifting, and Canada has much to offer. Read @neweconomycan's new report👇

Kelowna Centre and Surrey-Guildford are only ridings left in play. Conservatives lead in both w/ few hundred ballots left to count.
Possible scenarios
Conservatives win both: NDP 46, Cons 45, Green 2
Ridings split: NDP 47, Cons 44, Green 2
NDP flip both: NDP 48, Cons 43, Green 2

NEW - The BC Conservatives lead by 60 votes in Kelowna Centre over the NDP as vote counting continues. #bcpoli

[Richard Zussman @richardzussman]

NEW - The BC Conservatives lead by 4 votes over the NDP in Surrey-Guildford. And additional 15 votes were just counted, more than 200 remain to be counted. #bcpoli

I am feeling outraged, and filled with sadness.

I regard my family with love and respect, and am thankful that, as a white male that married into a First Nation family, they welcomed me with open arms. I do not take that for granted, and I try to be respectful of their values and perspectives.

I want to be crystal clear, the comments made by BC Conservative candidate Marina Sapozhnikov regarding indigenous people are reprehensible and I do not condone them or share those views in any way shape or form.

The only way real and meaningful reconciliation can happen is with genuine conversations, shared learnings and mutual respect.

[Richard Zussman @richardzussman]

The NDP vote has grown to 162 votes in Surrey-City Centre. #bcpoli

[Richard Zussman @richardzussman]

NEW - The BC NDP have closed the gap in Surrey-Guildford. The Conservatives lead by just 14 votes over the NDP as mail-in-voting counting continues. #bcpoli

[Richard Zussman @richardzussman]

NEW - The BC NDP lead by 106 votes in Juan de Fuca-Malahat over the BC Conservatives. Counting continues. The closest riding in the province is now Surrey-Guildford, as mail-in-ballots are favouring NDP. #bcpoli

[Merran Smith @merransmith]

Thanks @cleanenergycan ! I was honoured but the Clean Energy Canada team past and present is also so deserving of this award. Thanks for the passion, dedication, innovation and many hours so that the team of us could advance climate and energy solutions!

[Clean Energy Canada @cleanenergycan]

Clean Energy Canada founder Merran Smith has received the King Charles Coronation Medal from B.C. for "championing climate action and clean-energy solutions across Canada, and for founding a non-profit dedicated to the issue."

Congrats, @merransmith! 🇨🇦🙌

[New Economy Canada @neweconomycan]

We're thrilled to welcome @UPP_Ontario as our newest member. A long-term investor that secures stable retirement benefits for members while building a resilient future, UPP's expertise is critical to helping Canada seize the economic opportunity of the low carbon transformation.

[New Economy Canada @neweconomycan]

Great to see BC say we need to double our #cleanelectricity supply by '50 to meet demand + launching an energy pathways assessment.

Next? We need that to inform an #energyplan that achieves a secure, affordable, reliable and clean energy mix @bcpoli https://t.co/4SwZF3Quvq

[New Economy Canada @neweconomycan]

Ontario is building a complete EV supply chain, from the mine, to the plant, to the roadside charging stations.

Today’s announcement will make charging more affordable and more reliable, making it easier for Ontarians to choose made-in-Ontario electric vehicles.

[Merran Smith @merransmith]

Great discussion between @neweconomycan members and Premier @Dave_Eby, @Josie_Osborne, & @BrendaBaileyBC

We talked boosting investment in the clean economy, giving British Columbians access to more clean, reliable & affordable energy and enhancing Indigenous equity partnerships.

[New Economy Canada @neweconomycan]

The historic $15 billion investment by @Honda to build an entire electric vehicle supply chain from start to finish is yet another proof point that Canada can compete and win on the global stage to attract major projects in the new economy.
