With news this week of a social media ban supposedly coming from the Canadian government (with some exceptions), I spoke to @robshaw.bsky.social and Political Capital about the issue & work to address harms to kids that’s been ongoing in BC for years. Full episode podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/p...

Applications are now open! Thanks to Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social and the @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social government, the province will soon be training doctors at a new medical school in the heart of downtown Surrey. A historic step forward as we work to strengthen healthcare in BC.

What’s happening in Gaza is profoundly heartbreaking. It is unconscionable to deny aid to starving families. I thank @MarkJCarney for adding our voice to the international call for a two-state solution. We support Canada’s efforts to get aid flowing and a lasting peace.

Good morning from beautiful Gabriola Island, British Columbia, Canada. 🇨🇦

This week we are celebrating everything that makes our country the place we love to call home. Canada is great – not because we are perfect, but because we always want to do better. We are strong, proud, free – and we are going to keep it that way. Have a happy Canada Day week 🇨🇦

We’re independent, we control our own future, and we’re unapologetically Canadian. As we approach Canada Day, let’s come together to celebrate all we love about this place we call home.

Proud to be standing for BC! @aileenmachell.bsky.social

Magical evening in Victoria, BC.

Every kid should feel safe & know they belong. Bullying is harmful & can have devastating consequences. We wear pink today to show we care. We stand up to bullying of 2SLGBTQIA+ kids & all bullying. Everyday we work to build a BC where all can feel safe & grow without fear.

To protect BC jobs, businesses and economic prosperity from global threats, we need to keep working to make sure BC isn’t in this position ever again. It’s full steam ahead on strengthening our economy through major projects to deliver wealth and high-paying jobs to communities.

BC’s Premier David Eby, “adopted an economic eye-for-an-eye approach, & nothing was off the table—not export bans, not travel boycotts and certainly not retaliatory import tariffs, right down to Florida orange juice.” Fascinating profile of Premier Eby by Maclean’s Magazine.

Tonight @davidebybc.bsky.social announced gov will introduce bill to allow BC Energy Regulator to act as one-window regulator for permits to support the North Coast Transmission Line & other electricity transmission projects. This builds on green light given to 9 clean energy projects last December.

At Natural Resources Forum in Prince George, @davidebybc.bsky.social notes the success of natural resource projects is key to our success as a province. “You can’t pour from an empty cup… We have to create wealth and we have to do it together.”

“This is a critical moment for British Columbia, and we will respond with strength and leadership.” www.biv.com/news/comment...

Meghan is a true gem, as a friend and a colleague. I’m lucky to work alongside her.

Tomorrow, Premiers will meet to plan our response to Trump’s tariffs including a trade mission to Washington, DC because tariffs will hurt Americans and Canadians alike. With our strategic response, Canada’s Premiers will stand up for Canadian workers and businesses. (1/2)

The new BC-Alberta wine agreement is a win-win. Wine lovers in Alberta will have access to BC’s finest wines, while BC’s wineries can thrive with new opportunities for economic growth. More important than ever as we face the threat of US tariffs. Learn more: winebc.com/industry/med...

Taking a digital break from most of the ‘socials’ for the rest of the year. May you end 2024 feeling peace, not pain. May you look back with gratitude, not regret. May you accept the past and stay confident in the present. May you be ready to step boldly into what's ahead. 💪🏼 Happy holidays, all.

A stunning day in Oyster Bay, BC

Christmas is a time for cherished traditions for families around the world, including mine. It’s a time for celebration, togetherness and charity. This year is extra special for my family as we hang up a fifth stocking by the fire for baby Gwen’s first Christmas. Merry Christmas!

An incredible rescue. My thanks to all of the Search and Rescue crews, first responders and healthcare workers who worked tirelessly to keep everyone safe. bc.ctvnews.ca/5-rescued-af...

BC is a great place to live, but high costs are taking too big a bite out of people’s paycheques. We are going to keep supporting people with targeted investments helping families with everyday costs & creating an economy that works for everyone. news.gov.bc.ca/31857

I’m in Toronto with Premiers from across the country, standing up against Trump’s tariff threats. I’m bringing forward the priorities of people in BC. Trump’s tariffs threats put BC businesses and workers at risk. We must respond with strength.

ICYMI: “Nothing is off the table," @davidebybc.bsky.social said Thursday. "We are prepared to support retaliatory tariffs in response to the United States that gets their attention and helps them understand the consequences for British Columbians and Americans." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

As we gather today to say goodbye to John, I’m reflecting on how much love John had for this province and its people. Today, we aren’t just saying farewell to a leader but to a friend. His wife, Ellie, and sons, Evan and Nate, remain in our thoughts and prayers.

British Columbia has lost an incredible advocate and a fighter for justice in the passing of Dan Coulter. We will keep Dan and his family in our hearts and remember him in the work that we do.

Huge news from @davidebybc.bsky.social: BC gov increasing tax incentives to attract more film productions to BC, helping to strengthen economy and support the 10s of thousands of people who work in the industry here. Great work by @brendavancouver.bsky.social @spencerch.bsky.social & Nina Krieger
