It’s wonderful to see an important documentary like Sugarcane get global recognition with an Oscar nomination.
Thank you to Chief Sellars, of the Williams Lake First Nations for meeting with me this week and for sharing your stories with the world through cinema.
My message to billionaires who don’t want to chip in their fair share is: I’m not your guy.

Let’s work together to build a brighter future for everyone, not just those at the top.

And, in the wake of Brent Chapman revelations, @PeterMilobar party flip-flop refuses to denounce racism & extremism in the BC Conservatives. Milobar arrogantly suggests that he’ll bring the Cons to reason. He’s naive or playing voters as fools. Beware of Hidden Agenda’s!

We are finally seeing progress on housing in B.C.
✅Leading the country in housing starts ✅We are seeing rents come down across BC
✅Historic amount of new affordable housing opening across BC.
We can’t let John Rustad take us back to status quo!

The @bcndp housing policy leads the country and has benefited our #Kamloops community. Don't let the BC Conservative pro-speculator stance threaten this positive progress.

Another 50+ supportive homes are planned for @CityofKamloops to help people get off the streets and connected to the services and treatment they need.
We know the healthiest & safest communities are those where all residents have their core needs met.
