[Doug Morneau @MorneauDoug]

Last week, as I crossed Belleville Street and stepped onto the grounds of the BC Legislature, I stopped at the Victoria Cenotaph.

Atop the granite memorial stands a bronze figure of the Unknown Soldier. Unveiled in 1925 and funded largely by public donations, the cenotaph honours Canadians who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War and Afghanistan.

As I looked up at that soldier, I thought about people I never met.

They never knew me. They never knew my family, my children or my grandchildren. Yet they served and sacrificed for all of us.

I thought about our growing tendency to erase history when it makes us uncomfortable. History should be told honestly, including its failures. Erasing it teaches us nothing.

Remembrance Day is sometimes described as promoting war. I believe it does the opposite. It asks us to face the terrible cost of war and recognize the value of peace.

It reminds us that our freedom to speak, worship, vote, gather and protest came at a price.

Men and women from across Canada, from many nations, cultures, faiths and backgrounds, served. Some came home. Some returned carrying wounds, both visible and unseen. Some never came home at all. Their families sacrificed alongside them.

Today, at 11:00, we will pause for two minutes. We should. But remembrance deserves more than two minutes on one day.

If you have never visited your local Royal Canadian Legion, consider stopping in this week. Have a meal. Say hello. Look at the photographs and names. Listen when someone is willing to share a story.

Then take those stories home. Tell your children. Tell your grandchildren.

Because they went, generations of Canadians have lived without carrying the same burden.

They did not know us, but they went for us.

May we remember for more than two minutes on one day.

May we always remember.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Today’s $200 million federal investment in Woodfibre LNG is welcome news for Howe Sound, for First Nations partners, and for B.C.’s economy. [READ MORE]

[Lorne Doerkson @LDoerkson]

Today’s $200 million federal investment in Woodfibre LNG is welcome news for Howe Sound, for First Nations partners, and for B.C.’s economy.

Woodfibre shows what’s possible when governments, First Nations, and industry work together.

Once B.C.'s new government is sworn in next week, we’ll get to work building more projects just like it, with timely decisions, more First Nations equity, and more good jobs across B.C.

@mashakleiner No Sogi, repeal Dripa.
Simple. All you need to do is ask 😊

[Doug Morneau @MorneauDoug]

ONE POINT.

This projection has Maple Ridge–Pitt Meadows at 47% NDP and 46% Conservative.

If changing the government is your priority, vote for the candidate positioned to win here.

On Oct. 24, vote Doug Morneau.

One final request:

Vote. Bring someone with you. Check on a friend, neighbour or family member who may need help reaching the polls.

This race could be decided by a handful of votes. Every person who shows up matters.

Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows need the promised classroom space, properly budgeted and delivered on time.

But buildings aren’t enough. Students need strong foundations in reading, writing, mathematics, critical thinking and practical skills.

I visited Pitt Meadows Superstore with questions, not talking points.

We discussed food prices, local suppliers and a program helping small producers reach store shelves without listing fees.

Good decisions begin by asking direct questions and listening.

#PittMeadows #Affordability #BCPoli

[Doug Morneau @MorneauDoug]

I was told I could meet the steelworkers and give them my pitch.

I replied, “I don’t have a pitch. I learn more from listening than talking.”

They spoke about taxes, affordability and the skilled-worker shortage. Government needs to hear them.

#SkilledTrades #BCPoli

[Doug Morneau @MorneauDoug]

I’ve waited 60, 90 and even 120 days to be paid. I’ve also had clients refuse to pay.

Meanwhile, a business must still meet payroll, pay suppliers and cover taxes.

Why are companies still fighting to be paid for completed work?

This week, @LawrenceMok_ - Maple Ridge East and I sat down with Chris Atchison, President of the @thisisBCCA, to hear what the people who build this province need from Victoria.

#SmallBusiness #BCPoli

[Doug Morneau @MorneauDoug]

More than 15,000 forestry jobs have disappeared since 2022.

I began my career building paper-mill machinery and later worked with BC wood manufacturers. I understand what these jobs mean to families and communities.

They’re worth fighting for.

Funding matters. Opportunity matters too.

My daughter has seen autistic employees grow in confidence, develop skills and move toward greater independence when someone gives them an opportunity.

We need support for families and more doors opened by employers.

#AutismAcceptance #BCPoli

[Doug Morneau @MorneauDoug]

Ottawa, CPKC and the Port of Vancouver have committed $141 million toward two Pitt Meadows rail projects. The province is not currently listed as a funding partner.

If you’re in an ambulance, the train doesn’t care.

Why hasn’t this been resolved?

#PittMeadows #BCPoli

[Doug Morneau @MorneauDoug]

My father-in-law waited 10 hours in emergency with potentially deadly bleeding. I’m entering my fourth year trying to get my hip treated.

Our health-care workers are doing their best. The system is failing them and their patients.

Oct. 24: Vote Doug Morneau.

#BCHealth #BCPoli

[Doug Morneau @MorneauDoug]

More than 7,200 British Columbians are waiting for long-term care, while seven approved care projects have no confirmed completion dates.

These are our parents and grandparents. Why hasn’t this been fixed?

Oct. 24: Vote Doug Morneau.

I wasn’t looking for political office. I was asked to step forward, prayed about it and answered the call.

I’m running to listen, tell the truth and work tirelessly for Maple Ridge–Pitt Meadows.

On Oct. 24, I’m asking for your vote.

#MapleRidge #PittMeadows #BCPoli

[Doug Morneau @MorneauDoug]

If you're in the back of an ambulance, the train doesn't care.

Trains block Harris Road ~3.5 hrs a day, and that could double. What's missing is someone in Victoria who won't let it go.

Advance voting until 8 p.m. tomorrow.

What a weekend! Door knocking, community events, municipal election results, campaign signs, and Sunday night pizza! 🍕

Congratulations to everyone who ran in the municipal elections and those elected.

Here’s my weekend recap from Maple Ridge–Pitt Meadows.

#MapleRidge #PittMeadows

[Doug Morneau @MorneauDoug]

As a grandfather of five, I want every child focused in class, fed at lunch and active after school.

This plan gives BC families practical support through phone-free schools, expanded meals and a refundable activity credit of up to $500 per child.

[Lorne Doerkson @LDoerkson]

Kids should be focused in class, fed at lunch and active after school.

That’s our plan for healthy BC kids: no phones in schools, expanded school meals in high-need communities, and a refundable activity credit worth up to $500 per child.

[Doug Morneau @MorneauDoug]

Thank you to the Maple Ridge News for taking the time to hear my story and inviting me to share why I’m running.

For me, this is personal. It’s about our families, our community and making a life here that our children and grandchildren can afford.

Please take a few minutes to read the article and share it with your friends and neighbours. I’d appreciate your help getting the word out.

[Doug Morneau @MorneauDoug]

The NDP doesn’t have to beat us if we defeat ourselves.

Accountability matters, but rumours and infighting only help keep them in power.

If you want change in Maple Ridge–Pitt Meadows, watch this, do your research and vote.

I’m asking for your support.
