We're taking action to make sure kids get the support they need.
A counsellor for every school, hiring more EAs, and expanding before-and-after school childcare to every region.
We can’t go backwards.
Homes you can afford, a doctor when you need it, child care and immediate relief for families. David has a clear plan, Rustad couldn't give any specifics about what he’ll do. #bcpoli
This looks like one of the best policy announcements of the #bcpoli election cycle. EAs are absolutely essential for ensuring that kids with support needs can succeed in the education system and appropriate access has always been a challenge.
Yes there is $10aDay Child Care in BC @CBCStephenQuinn 12,500 spaces by Dec 2022 and 96% of other spaces being reduced up to another $550 per month. There IS measurable progress AND because nothing was done for decades before 2018 it takes years to turn around. #childcarebc
Working together, we are keeping 425 affordable housing units in #Burnaby! ✊
When there is a will, there is a way. Thanks so much to @Dave_Eby@CLTrust@BC_Housing@CityofBurnaby@chfbc#IUOE and all Post 83 and 115 residents for making this come true after years of work! 🙌

“My party was born from dissent on the Prairies, so I understand protest. But the protests I went to, and there have literally been hundreds if not thousands, people never screamed in another’s face or spat on people or tried to viciously denigrate their point of view.”
It's time to tell some hard truths about what is happening to our country and to our democracy. We can't afford to be complacent any longer.
