Supporters of the BC NDP and the Green Party share a lot of the same values. Strong public health care, protecting the place we call home, and asking the wealthiest to chip in more to build a stronger B.C.

Doorknocking in Campbell River with our own Sara Lopez! The north island is a key economic driver for our province. It needs someone like Sara in govt. In tune with the culture, but also a fierce advocate. Someone to attract investment while supporting communities. #BCNDP

I’m honoured to receive an endorsement from the Vancouver Island Building and Metal Trades Councils. I will always stand up for our workers. The people who’ve built our community, who build our ships, who drive our economy. Let’s keep up the good fight. #BCNDP #Solidarity

Langford-Highlands ‼️ Today is the final day of advance voting in the provincial election. Head to the Reflections Building at 149-2745 Veterans Memorial Parkway (across from Boston Pizza) before 8pm to cast your ballot. #BCNDP #LangfordHighlands

With local Unifor members.  Your Westshore bus drivers are Unifor. Your Port Alberni millworkers are Unifor. Unifor locals help our communities run. We’re going to keep standing up for them. Thank you for dropping by the office to share your support. #BCNDP #Unifor

The news out of CFB Wainwright is devastating. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of the Canadian Armed Forces members who tragically lost their lives, and to those who were injured.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragedy and the entire Canadian Armed Forces community during this incredibly difficult time.

It’s hard to find the words. The Conservative candidate for Juan de Fuca-Malahat saying, on camera, that First Nations need to be conquered. I think of all the First Nations in that constituency and what this attack must feel like to them.

Big takeaway from last night’s debate: @davidebybc.bsky.social has a plan. Major projects, investments into services, more money in your pocket. Doerkson has no plan to speak of. All we know is he’s ready to start making deep cuts. He’s going to bring back a Gordon Campbell style govt. #bcpoli

Tune in tonight at 6:15pm to hear the BC leaders’ debate. Hear our vision for building BC strong. Where we protect our core services, strengthen healthcare and seniors support, and lower everyday costs. David Eby has a plan to continue delivering for families. #BCNDP

It’s clear the Conservative Party takes little issue with extreme and harmful views. John Henderson's residential school denialism was publicly known when Lorne Doerkson approved him as a candidate. British Columbians deserve to know if he thinks these views are acceptable.

"When the B.C. Conservative Party announced Mr. Henderson’s candidacy on October 1, the very day after people across the country marked the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, it felt like a slap in the face." GCSP www.ubcic.bc.ca/ubcic_demand...

Happy Thanksgiving Langford-Highlands! I’m thankful for this community and everything we’ve built together. I’m thankful to each of my friends and neighbours who have made this such a special place to live. Enjoy this day to connect with your family and recharge. #Thanksgiving

Belmont is a beautiful school. But to get here, required a lot of work. In Langford-Highlands, we have a long tradition of service. It’s meant big things for our community. This election, we have a choice. Let’s continue building our community stronger. #BCNDP #Langford #LangfordHighlands

I am deeply saddened by the news from the RCMP that a woman lost her life during the Bald Range wildfire evacuation. My heart goes out to her family, friends, neighbours, and all those who knew her and will miss her.

There are no words that can fully express my gratitude to our BC Wildfire Service professionals for their extraordinary efforts on the Bald Range wildfire over the last 24 hours. Thank you for everything you’re doing to protect people, homes and communities. #BCWildfire

The Bald Range wildfire has been a significant challenge. And we still have a long way to go. I want to thank the #BCWildfire Service for their extraordinary work supporting emergency services and getting people to safety.

Please listen to your local government, regional district, and provincial government. Have your go bag ready and your emergency exit route prepared. If you are in the order area, evacuate immediately. We will get through this together.

My heart goes out to all British Columbians being affected by wildfires at this time. I want everyone to know that our #BCWildfire Service crews are working hard to protect people across B.C. To our BCWS personnel, and those who’ve came across borders to help us, thank you.

These communities have been the pillars of forestry. They’ve also felt the impacts of the immense challenges we’re facing. We will continue to work alongside the federal government to support B.C. forestry workers.

The arrival of firefighters from Mexico yesterday was about more than wildfires. It was an example of what forging powerful international partnerships can do. Working together to protect communities here, just as our #BCWildfire Service has for our partners in times of need.

Our BCWS team has created these partnerships around the globe. Today, we are beyond grateful for the support we’ve received from within Canada, and beyond our borders this wildfire season. It’s a visual representation of working together for people.

Update on the Pear Lake #BCWildfire (C40983) Size: 66,871.2 hectares A light to moderate southwesterly upper flow will give sunny conditions and will introduce a warming and drying trend.

After everything we’ve seen in past wildfire seasons, if you still think it’s okay to break local fire restrictions, give your head a shake I urge folks to comply with local campfire bans It can be the difference between keeping your town safe and putting people in grave danger

The situation in Clinton & surrounding area is critical. The Fiftynine Creek and Pear Lake wildfires pose a serious threat & evacuation orders are in place. If you are in an affected area, leave immediately. Don’t wait. Follow direction of emergency officials & stay safe.
